Title: Andre Pearson

Summary:  Actor Andre Pearson is based out of the DMV and has appeared in approximately two hundred commercials. His work
includes theater, short films, student films, feature films, and television. He gives advice on building a good resume, getting a professional headshot, and having a management team that works well with actor preferences and availability. He gets real and talks about the long term effects that a busy acting life can have on a marriage. He has certainly learned to make some changes and to assess which priorities are worth pursuing. Most creatives struggle at some point or another about feeling selfish that they get to play make-believe for a living, while others do not; we get into the nitty gritty about relationship dos and don’ts.
