Hello, Im from Germany, 25 and trying to find some speaking roles here in Germany, but for some reason it´s very hard to find any roles to even apply for.

I'm not an actor and I've never acted before, but Pierce Casting in LA hires just about anyone to act in their court shows as a plaintiff, defendant or witness.

I'm posting this to see how others deal with the union-pending posts on Actors Access. A few years ago, I was cast in a low-budget film that was in pending status.

…how do you feel being on your meds vs. off them affects your work? For me, I feel like it would make more sense if being on them helped me stay in the moment in a scene, but bizarrely I think the opposite might actually be the case. When I’m not on my meds, I can stay more in the moment and therefore feel more secure…
