David Harbour, Edie Falco & Jeff Daniels Teach You How to Make it in Hollywood | Vanity Fair 

I hope everyone who is here and actually wants to go somewhere in their acting career makes it

“if you are a one in a million type...... *there’s* *seven* *of* *you in* *Manhattan* *alone* ” welp

Whoever is reading this and wants to get into acting, I hope we both make it lol

”Auditioning sucks hippodick...” that’s exactly how I feel about auditions 😅

"I left college without the confidence that I entered with" I think lots of people might know exactly what she means. I for sure do

Acting seems so incredibly overwhelming.

other actors: hey darren: hEY I'M DARREN CRISS.

Leo DiCaprio got lucky, he started big really young. Just like the stranger things cast too

Jim Hopper's mustache was staring at me

other people, especially famous and award-winning actors, saying that they still get incredibly nervous lowkey makes me feel a lot better

me, has no interest in acting, also me, watches this whole video and takes it all in

Just finished my first feature film hopefully it makes it into Sundance and other festivals ! To every actor reading this NEVER give up. Love you !

Can you make these types of videos with Movie Producers, Directors, Agents, Managers, etc.?

i’m i the only one that wants to be an actor but doesn’t want to participate in school plays

I feel taken cared of

Start when you're 4 or have famous parents boom

As a photographer, it warms my heart when actors remember who shot their first head shot.

I'm glad they included actors at different stages in their careers and ages!

Ed Harris knows how to put pauses in between words to add solemnity

“That’s the gift of being alive: trying” man that one line really stuck out to me. Such truth

I've just made the decision now I want to and will become an actor and a writer. I've always loved daydreaming about it but the light switch moment now is so radical. God bless you all and always follow your dreams! Now is my time. I've written it down and I will do everything, everything for my dream. EVERYTHING i do shall be for my dream.

"I would say get in a hit tv show" ya because I can do that

bro David Harbour is such a good actor, did you see that last episode of stranger things? His FACE!

Wow Jeff Daniels dropping KNOWLEDGE!

* watches video in entirety * Me: lemme go get my Emmy now

“Make sure you know the material so the camera can see your eyes.” - Elio’s dad 🥺

David harbour is the only reason i clicked on this video

A girl can dream

I like to do some sort of acting in my life but ironically I’m VERY SHY and hate talking infront of crowds of people

Darren Criss was just so excited to be there.

I’m super inspired during the Coronavirus lockdown... maybe not the best time to be an actor 😂😅

"If you're one in a million there's seven of you in Manhattan." Makes sense considering New York has nearly 10 million people.

This was IMMENSELY HELPFUL as an actor, PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE

How to make it in hollywood: STEP 1: Have blue eyes.

it’s still crazy how William still acts like Frank even when not acting !

William H Macy is literally Frank Gallagher

i’ve always wanted to be an actor. not for the fame or the money but because it’s a huge passion of mine. i’m 18 and i’ve never took acting classes as a kid and never took theatre classes in school. so i have no experience in anything. but that’s not going to stop me. i am willing to do anything i can to make it and i believe ANYONE can. and i hope you read this far because if you want to make it too, i wanted this to motivate and encourage you. because honestly, i have NO IDEA how i am going to get there or how i’m going to make it but like i said i’m not letting anything get in my way. keep pursuing your passions even if you don’t know how you’re gonna get there. because i promise you, you can do anything peace & love ✌️

Sad we didn’t get to see Darren’s answer to “memorizing lines” given how we’ve heard AVPM went for him line wise haha

Step 1: Be good looking Step 2: Follow step 1

i don’t care about fame. i just want to be able to do something i love and have a comfortable life

I’m very upset about Darren not having enough lines but honestly he couldn’t give any advice about memorizing lines because we all know his history with that

William H Macy is legit so funny

i keep forgetting alexis bledel isn’t actually 16 anymore

i’m not trying to act but this video just filled me with so much wisdom and i don’t regret watching it at all

It's like Ed Harris is still on set of Westworld😀man in black

“That’s the gift of being alive, TRYING”✨

Me: *has interest in acting* Also me: *relizes I’m never gonna get noticed*

Darren Criss has so much wisdom for a young dude in this business, I wish they'd featured him more.

“If you’re 1 in a million type there are 7 of you in New York alone” what a quote

No one Darren Criss : HeY EvERyONe I’m DaRrEn CrIsS

This is my goal for this year I’ve wanted this all my life

Alexis my queen

This is the kind of content I just eat right up. As an aspiring actress, this stuff is so, so helpful and I highly value every bit of advice they give. Pleaaaaase give more.

William H. Macy: "Be on time and learn your lines. Put the rest in God's hands." This is why you are one of the greats!

I WANT TO ACT!!! BUT I AM SHYYYYY

i’m only watching this because i saw david harbour in the thumbnail

I am 19 and do want to be an actor. I have gotten callbacks for auditions and done plays and everything. I just need to get an agent but don't how to do it right. Haven't tried it yet but I want to make sure it goes right. I don't know if I should do email, letter or meet in person. Its a weird industry really but I love it.

I see Alexis Bledel. I click.

“Put the rest in Gods hands” YESSUH

I hope you do one of these on making it as a writer and/or director

I love acting so much but whenever i try to tell someone about it I get embarrassed they ask me why i want to be an actor when i have such good grades and such a bright future ahead of me like how do you respond to that?

see you all at the oscars, tony’s and emmy’s!

Dacre Montgomary should be in this video

The best acting advice I've heard is that you should love acting so much that you would do it with or without fame...and I think that's really true and important. It should be the passion for acting, not the goal of getting famous and rich.

Ive been "mimic" acting since I was 13. Im 27 now. I wish I could do this for a living, but Im in middle of nowhere Ohio. I still "act" in my spare time. The very last piece of advice about had me in tears...

Actors: Hollywood actors say their name with confidence. Me: trying to recognise one... Video: Hi I'm David Harbour. Me: *I KNOW YOU OMG*

It's so interesting to hear them talk about acting! Especially because I study dramatic arts :)

I’ve been interested in acting for a while and now started to get into it. I’m starting with acting classes and hopefully will be apart of my schools theater along with my local one too. I want to wish everyone and myself the best of luck with your and my acting career!

I'm Aiden Patterson and I'm going to make it in Hollywood.

I agree with what Darren said at 2:10...Plus, learning a language or learning anything new when you make the choice to do so is much more fun than if it's a requirement for a university program that you're in. I also think it's cool/ interesting that even really famous actors who have been in numerous different things still get nervous doing auditions for things!!

"That's the gift of being alive. Trying." I'd love to see myself in a show or movie someday, I think acting is one of the greatest gift of art to all of us. Hopefully the face of luck smile on me someday.

That was the best 14 minutes I have spent all day.

This was really helpful although I wish they showed Darren Criss answering all the questions cause he gives really good advice but this video did really help me learn some things. Thank You!

I really want to be an actor(like a lot!) but I’m shy and I just don’t think my family will understand how much I want this and I’m scared to tell them. I really want to tell them soon because I really want this and I know if I hold off any longer I won’t every tell them 😓

Not sure why I watched this, but as a Hollywood resident "Take Fountain" is the best advice I've heard this year lol

Mandy Patinkin speaking right at the end reminded me of the Baz Luhrmann *Sunscreen* spoken-song 🗣🎼

they became actors in such amazing shoes or movies when they were young SO MUCH FUN

I can't stop acting; every day, all the time. Even not onstage, I just love it and I can't stop. Wish I could move to LA, but... I just act. And I wish I could stop LOL

How is this so motivating!

i feel like its way harder for an asian actress to make it in hollywood but this shouldn't be a reason to stop one's dream

Jeff Daniels advice is absolutely spot on and priceless. Key on his advice, it's a Master Class.

thanks for advice, i got accepted to acting school and its kind of insecure moment to try something new so really needed this

"it's a lie I'm always a nervous wreck about memorising" his face. his wisdom. yes. not same, but same.

Ed Harris is so freaking cool.

As someone who is trying to make it in Hollywood, this is so helpful! Thank you! 👏

Omg, it's Alexis bledel

i screamed ‘it’s harry freakin potter’ when i heard hi i’m darren criss

Everytime I hear Alexis bledel talk I immediately hear Rory Gilmore haha

0:54 Why did they NOT give a man carrying a Bob Ross with a joint Lookin headshot a Job? C'mon XD

To me acting is not about the money or the fame. I see people acting on roles and how they change their whole personality and becomes a whole new person with every roles. That intrigues me. I just want to act and be able to do that.

I want to be an actress because I love it, I imagine myself in set, acting, enjoying, laughing and I LOVE it but I don’t want fame, I hate fame. I just want to act but I may be too afraid to try

Darren Criss is an American snack!

7:43 Mandy Patinkin is such a mood

these tips were more than good lets be honest

please do this with FILM DIRECTORS

Ed Harris being all Old Hollywood with his blue eyes, fedora, and "...til yuh drop dead." #perfection

“I’m a simple girl I see David harbor I click”

11:26 and so on, really great advice. Thankful I got to hear that.

Ed Harris' advice was the absolute pinnacle advice any actor could have starting off.
