OK I just realized that this got moved to "success stories" and I didn't think it really qualified. Shows what I know lol. Thanks for all the encouragement and support, its funny as when I told the family their collective response was pretty mute.

Hey Tony, it all qualifies as success. Do not get it twisted. Typically, in my personal experience that is a normal response from the ones that are closest to. A lot of people are quite negative when a loved one pursues a career in the arts no matter what the nature of the involvement. What I like to do is ask why so negative toward the decision I have made to go after this path. The response usually is you will never make it. That is usually because their thought pattern is based on our intentions to become this superstar actor or what have you. Their thought pattern isn't simply based on the passion, desire, the need to be creative and express yourself. So let them sit idle and shrug it off as a "pipe dream." As long as you are doing what makes you happy and even further what you choose, then I say keep pushin my friend and let no one tell you otherwise. Stay true to yourself, and have no regrets, chances are they will. Congrats again and keep pushin. Best of luck and take care....afterall we can be your extended family here at 32 and drown you with support and positivity, I know I alwayswill;-)

Congratulations, Tony! In regard to family reactions, I sometimes think that if they're not in the creative field themselves, they are not able to fully appreciate the accomplishment as much as we do. I don't think it's their lack of interest as much as just not knowing how difficult it is to reach certain levels of success in this chosen field.

Hello Linda, thank you and I think you make a good point. Its only other creatives that can really understand the struggles and achievements we put ourselves through to do what we love. Plus outside of creative circles I think people tend to link success with money.

Oh Tony... so true... my family were more interested in how much money I was getting, then in any success I had. I don't remember they ever came out to any stage plays I was in either, as a matter of fact.
