Ed Stelz, New York CityOnce upon a time, someone mistook me for Brad Pitt. Okay, I know you just looked at my headshot. And I know what you're thinking. So, since you're in agreement with them (ahem), let me reveal my true identity.Less than 3.5 years ago, I was filling out medical school applications. Less than 3.49 years ago, I finished making origami out of them. A two-and-a-half-year New York City conservatory training and many auditions later, I find myself full steam ahead with my acting career. I've failed. I've failed many, many times. I've tested boundaries, flopped many auditions, and—like many actors—chosen the wrong flavor of custard at the Shake Shack. I've also booked national commercials, Equity shows, and Off-Off-Broadway plays my mother wouldn't even see. But whether I succeeded or flubbed, I knew I needed to stay optimistically proactive by shimmy-shammying past all challenges still ahead of me.
