[00:00:03.218]
My name is Patrick. I'm a theatre performance major at the University of
[00:00:06.309]
Nebraska-Lincoln at the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film.
[00:00:10.849]
I may just be a performing major, but that doesn't mean that that's all I do.
[00:00:16.078]
When my parents found out that I wanted to go into acting, they thought I was crazy.
[00:00:19.856]
They said that all actors are starving actors.
[00:00:22.517]
I think it's important to have that kind of opposition because, in the end, you
[00:00:26.366]
have to know that that's what you want to do and that you're going to work for it.
[00:00:30.526]
My dream job is to be in Cirque du Soleil. I want to be one of the guys that's on the
[00:00:34.075]
wires that's running up the wall inverted with a spear in his hand, basically
[00:00:38.865]
getting the opportunity to fly through the air.
[00:00:42.388]
I love playing chess. Anything can happen in a game. There's this feeling of mystery
[00:00:47.085]
of what your opponent is going to do. You have your strong moments where
[00:00:51.216]
maybe you're a little bit ahead and you're feeling good and then sometimes
[00:00:54.294]
it knocks you on your butt.
[00:00:55.986]
When you're acting, you know, when you're on stage, things aren't always going to
[00:00:58.663]
happen the way you want them to. You have to adapt in the moment and respond and I
[00:01:03.081]
think that's something you learn when you play chess.
[00:01:07.966]
When you're in the school of acting, it's not just stage, it's not just film, but you
[00:01:11.949]
have exposure to do all of those because we have an integrated school of theatre
[00:01:15.093]
and film.
[00:01:16.590]
After all, that's what the school does is it teaches you how to make a career.
[00:01:21.119]
Because if you want to be a Hollywood actor, you can do that because the
[00:01:24.413]
training here gives you the tools you need to go out and keep learning, keep
[00:01:28.534]
improving until you get to where you want to be.
