The SECRET to Building a Bi-Continental Acting Career

Actors love to talk about the big break, but real careers aren’t built on luck. They’re built on strategy, persistence, and putting yourself in the right rooms.

In this episode of Act Bold, I sat down with Marc Schöttner, an actor who successfully transitioned from acting in Germany to working in the U.S. We dig into breaking into the U.S. market as an actor, financial stability for actors, and why he chose New York over LA. We also talk about the reality of auditions vs. networking. Marc shares why booking acting roles without an agent happens more than people think and why building relationships in the film industry can sometimes lead to more opportunities than traditional auditions.

Another big takeaway? How to get a U.S. visa for acting. Marc didn’t just show up—he put together a 225-page application to secure his Green Card for Extraordinary Ability. If you’re thinking about working internationally, this is something you don’t want to miss.

If you’ve ever wondered how to take control of your career instead of waiting for things to happen, this episode is for you.

Until next time, stay your bold and beautiful self,

Anne
