@@thavambase6907 I think we are in agreement, what I said was just semantics. I meant that if you already have a dream and want something, telling yourself you need to want it more usually isn't very helpful, and if you don't really want something that much, you can't make yourself want it by choice. I like your #2/#3 points, as well as Damon's point here, that you should find your own way of "breaking into" the industry and not just keep trying to force the worn path, because the odds there are not in your favor.

Wrong. U missed the most important step which is step 4: Learn how to create the entire thing on ur own and force it down people's eyeballs. Let me translate step 4 in practical modern context: In other words DONT FUKIN WAIT to go to auditions or agents fuck alll that, that's like waiting to win a lottery, WHAT U DO INSTEAD IS: buy or rent or borrow a half decent camera and FILM urself doing somethin u r passionate about and then UPLOAD IT FOR FREE ON EVERY SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITE then SPAM THE LINK EVERYWHERE(all this so far is FREE) ur first video will probably be monkey ass balls quality. Then do it again n jus try to take 1 thing n improve on it that u learnt from 1st video.do all steps n spam. 2nd video will probably monkey ass quality but note it isn't monkey ass BALLS quality. So little improvement there. By ur 6th video it will be MEH OK . Ur 7th video will be "hmmm this is stupid but theres somethin interesting there..." by ur 9th video u will reach the level of what u probably witnessed as ur first video to discover ur favorite KZfaq. Do this and only this and thank me later.

You're not the only one like him working harder and harder. It's hard to get in the industry and getting that audition, think of it as the Hunger Games, no one has any experience so they train rain and train (work hard hard and harder) and then when they seem confident they do the games and ONE comes out alive (ONE person gets picked for the audition). It doesn't seem really fair well you have to just work and be lucky.

@@New-qy5mi It is about luck as well. You can be intense and emotional but if you don’t have the look they are going for, the connections, the right script, right place at the right time etc etc it isn’t going to go very far. Take Jennifer Lopez for example with the film Selena. Absolute perfect fit. Not many women would’ve been fit for that. That role was made for her. Now, imagine she wasn’t even someone interested in acting so didn’t audition? Imagine if the woman that the film is about didn’t pass away? Will Jennifer Lopez still be the famous woman we know today? These things make you wonder. In astrology they show positions that make someone most likely to be an actor or at least have interest in it. Every single one of these celebs have the ‘actor placements’. Which is usually things like being a Leo rising, having 5th or 3rd house placements, heavy Gemini placements etc etc (if you don’t know more about astrology other than your sun sign what I’m typing might go over your head) 😂. But to prove to you how it’s literally about the ‘stars having to align’ (no pun intended) to make this happen. Watch a video by a lady called ‘Claire Nakti’ it is titled ‘Sun dominant men’. If you watch that video you will see that the top male actors of our world all have the same placements. I actually found this video because Matt Damon and Ben Afflect were heavily featured in it. Watch the video. It will absolutely blow your mind. She links everything together perfectly.

To me, luck means being in the right place at the right moment. To increase your chances for that, you have to keep trying and never refuse work. Someone I know got a job because the other person got trapped in a flooding and could not get to the office. It was a crappy job, but a few weeks later my friend met an old mate on a lunch break and got a new job, with more money and a better company. I started off with a pretty bad job, with night shifts and little money, but I was desperate to work. After some time I had the chance of another job that fulfilled some of my dreams over the years. I talked to another friend to come with me at that first job, but he refused saying he doesn't like night shifts. I would say that his career path was far for what it could've been.

If you can't/won't distinguish yourself from the masses, then yes, you will succumb to what happens to the masses of actors who go through the system. Matt and Ben saw this algorithm and did the work necessary to break into the inner circle of success. This is literally the definition a success in most industries.

No, “rigged against you” implies that it’s designed to keep you away. If you know about film, you’ll know that good actors are investments, and people want to make money. The system isn’t rigged against you, it’s just not built for you to succeed, meaning you have to push your own way through it.

Excellent insights from Matt. 1) Part of life is learning how to take a leap of faith, fall/fail to reach the other side, walk home and lick your wounded pride, then go out into the world the next day and take another leap of faith. That's true not only in acting, but across all other fields. 2) Sometimes you have to produce the roles you want, like Matt and Ben did with Good Will Hunting after auditioning for so long and not landing the leading roles they were so desperately hoping for.

2:11-2:17 is key! The Focus part. I think there are many different ways to find success in this business the Exact way you want to succeed, you just might have to be a little creative with it. For me this wasn't a 'no one can ever get success by waiting for a role to trickle down' type answer because that would inherently be false since there are multiple examples of that happening but more a 'we see Ourselves unable to get success this particular way so we'll carve out a new way that leads us to the same end point that we would reach if we'd stuck with the trickle down path'. i also really love the dead poets society story because it gives me hope to hear about the waiting part of it or the watching other ppl get it&you not get it part of it in a real way that's not a "I tried out for a bunch of roles&then I got spiderman" type story.

There are very few career choices where getting a top education (let's say Juilliard as a fun example) and being hugely talented and hard working can lead you to absolutely very little or no success. I produce lower budget films and over 10 years have auditioned a ridiculous amount of very talented actors PLUS hard working as hell. We can only hire one for the role. For so many nothing happens for years or ever. I can say this now with many years in the industry and more then a few films under my belt: Talent, check - hard work, check- good looking, check - Now who do you know and can that person hire you, nepotism really helps (as in ANY field) and be networking always, people like to hire friends or people they know PLUS!! a bit of luck really helps.

I don't think studios want to make movies like that anymore, too risky of a bet compared to superhero movies, which are the most juvenile, reductive thing you can put on screen and call it adult entertainment. I think our culture is suffering for it. We need stories about real people to stop the hate.

Ricky Gervais,Simon Pegg,Sylvester Stallone,Seth Rogan,Bill Hader,Billy Bob Thornton ect ect. They all found a niche and wrote themselves into roles that solidified themselves in cinema history. From there, the momentum is created. Even if it doesn't propell you to AAA success. I do believe it highers the outcome of successfully being on the "radar." Sucks if you're not much of a writer. Suppose that's where networking comes in. I'm fantastic at verbally articulating myself. To put pen to paper persay is another story. 😅 Good luck ya'll. Never give up on your dreams. If you don't "succeed". My prayer is you don't give in to bitterness or resentment. Sometimes I have a nauseated warped feeling watching movies or TV. I question why I'm not capable or have achieved what I aspired to years ago. Let's just be brutally honest. There's countless amounts of super awkward and or obnoxious actors with almost 0 appeal or talent out there. Yet, make a decent living for decades. So if "so and so" actor can do it so can you! My only hope is to become a working actor. Pay the bills and make a lifelong living working in cinema. Even if I'm just a bit part on a recurring TV show.

@Chrysippus Camper this is only true in part. Yes, being attractive helps, but in fact the greatest actors who have Oscars and other awards, are simply very talented, great actors, and that they look great as well? Well, some are born full package, but also you have to be hard working. It's a myth that you don't have to work hard in Hollywood. In fact I work in the industry few years now and it's very hard work - actor or director, or anyone. Very hard.

ir helps a lot to have features the camera likes or finds interesting (i.e. things our brain read better when captured through a lens) like a bigger head and a smaller body, or a flatter face to be shot more easily from the side, etc. but at the end of the day you usually have to have the talent. Those are the people that last anyway - see Christopher Lee's advice on this. FWIW I think Riz Ahmed is the finest actor working in film today followed by Joaquin Phoenix.

"....you need to get extraordinarily lucky" We all know that your luck is created by many factors that you do and dont control. Lets focus on what you do. 1.) Never give up (leaning, adapting, trying, and improving). 2.) Be honest with yourself "I'm not getting that chance again....what am I going to do about it"? 3.) In this day and age? Make your own content. (Dont ask the world. Show the world). Do THESE things and more? And you MAY get "extraordinarily lucky too". IN all? You have to know WHY you do whatever it is that you do. The WHY will take you though it! If you don't know WHY then the odds are too great...time is too short...and you should do something where you know your WHY.

So what's the point? So don't be so attached to that 1 in a 100000 chance of making it,cause the benefit is an illusion,you can have a great life or better without it :) Also you're life isn't less important if you're not famous,99.9999999 aren't lol

LOL at all the people "correcting" Matt Damon in the comments. I see this on every interview, someone complaining, "it's just dumb luck" or "it's all about looks" or "it's who you know" and 100 other things. The man is here telling you exactly what it took to break in (for him at least), and y'all are like "no no no, that's not it, it's this other thing." Okay then. Let me know how that works out for you. Somehow, even with all the dumb luck, the nepotism, the rigged system, greedy producers, and whatever other boogeyman is specifically keeping YOU from your dream, there are new actors, new TV shows, new movies, new books, new commercials, new shorts, new web series, new video games, and new comics every single day. Neat trick, huh? Life ain't fair! But do yourself a favor and look up how many currently world famous actors, filmmakers, and musicians were, at one point, completely broke, destitute, homeless, in prison, living in their cars, living in a bus station, living off food stamps, drug addicts, etc. Life wasn't fair to them either, but they're famous now... I guess they just "knew somebody!" 👀
