Matt Damon Talks About What it Takes to Succeed as an Actor 

Exactly why I purchased my own camera because I want to be a film editor but the likelyhood of someone giving me footage to edit is minimal. Shouldn't rely on other people to help you out.

@@Freiheit1232 I myself am an Actor, Matt's story is rather extraordinary and I know I will never co write an Oscar winning film. Just got to keep your head down, follow your heart and never give up

Your life is programmed. If you are going to succeed it will happen. Why would one person have a passion for acting and another for accounting? Free will is the great illusion.

@@matriximaster ahhhhh, you are one of those

@kolmioman iv worked construction before buddy, iv done demolition work and spent full work days sanding walls... I sure felt like I contributing to society but there no passion for your work in it..

And it worked for you?

"want it more" is bs.

@@rachelkarengreen99 well none of these tips are a guarantee but not wanting it will sure as hell make u fail, unless u are the son or daughter of someone famous

@@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 RU-vid. 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.

@@user-so3yw8tr1x But you don't die if you don't get the role. You can keep going into every Hunger Games.

@@hi-hellothere no, i didn't mean EXACTLY, their reward is to live and your reward is to get your audition part.

@@user-so3yw8tr1x it’s not about luck it’s about creating the consensus best emotional and psychological scene

@@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.

@@nickred2023 One never knows when one's luck will turn.

I don’t recall him mentioning luck

For everyone who is eager to succeed as an actor or actress, I recommend Dr Russell Ehigiator a great spiritualist on RU-vid, he help my career as footballer.

at 67 I found looking back, hard work generates luck too, most people will not push themselves, those who do stand out -- life has no guarantees in anything, I almost died twice in the past 11 yrs. once from cancer and once from surgery complications, at those times I regretted only one thing: not taking more chances earlier in life and chasing a dream I had

So it's not always about having money to buy your way into the business?.

Hi, i'm a Spanish actor, have you heard of Dr Russell Ehigiator on RU-vid, I recommend him to anyone who need his spiritual support, he help my career.

Yes. Talent.

Fuck that's one in a Billion

If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.

Tons of people are working hard to write movies that will never get made, never mind starring and winning an Oscar for them. Matt and Ben are the beneficiaries of being handsome, able-bodied, etc... and, yes, talented. Talent is a form of luck.

But what if i wanna become an actor

Doesn’t mean you can’t beat it though.

but who is it rigged for?

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.

No you quoted that wrong. That's now what he said.. you'd fail straight up because you don't listen to instruction or even quote properly.

Just work hard

Jaime Barbosa just working hard doesn’t work in a lot of industries, let alone acting

Being at the right place at the right time

No, that's bullshit. Work hard, and work smart and don't take no for answer.

Well they have commercial breaks and a studio audience to think about. They want quick juicy little nuggets and have to make people laugh. Here they just get to riff and go on tangents.

Yeah...right. It's kinda weird. I wonder what went through Matt Damon's mind when he first saw him in the outfit?

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.

Jennifer Bates age should not restrict you. These jobs don’t have an age barrier, you should pursue it. You miss every shot you don’t take.

@@UnwrittenPlaylist thanks so much hun! Maybe when the virus gets under control.

The pay is minimum wage. Plus you will give commission to your agent. Look up Union list's of agents where you live. Anyone can do it. It's pretty much blur. Only do it with Covid tests.

@@limormarkovzki8451 thank you. I don't think that I would invest in an agent. I just want to do it once or twice.

Don't count on it. I was an extra in Howard the Duck. Stayed up all night at the craft service table in a parking lot, chatted with crew guys and an incredibly small woman who was a stunt double for Howard. Boring as hell and paid only $45. You can do better.

What you do has nothing to do with them anyway. Do you think major stars give a shit what the average fan thinks of their role or their position?? No. Do you honestly think thinking about what others think really matters.. only the ones that are either paying your wage or giving direction matter..

Why won't you do it then?

x iLeon Come on Leo can act circles around Damon. He & Ben' s big gripe was with Chris O'Donnel.

@@samanthab1923 that's not really true. Dicaprio is way overrated. He can act but he overdoes it and screams and shouts too much. Damon is a subtle natural type actor. One who let's it come to him. At the end of the day though this is all subjective.

Jonathan Teelucksingh That's your opinion. If it weren't for Bourne his career would have floundered. He's a nice guy. People put him in movies. But he doesn't have that thing. Watch Bale. Leo has it too.

@@samanthab1923 and if it wasn’t for Titanic DiCaprios career might not be where it is today. So it goes both ways. Same with bale and the Batman trilogy. Everyone has their big break in fact Damon is superior cos he had to fight for his harder when he wrote good will hunting and it became a massive success so again you’re entitled to your opinion but get your facts right.

Jonathan Teelucksingh He's a nice guy I guess but he just doesn't pack that same punch on screen. Not to say I don't mind a story or two from him. Just prefer Bale & Leo 😘

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.

That’s why I say time and time again. What are you doing it for? I love acting so I don’t do it for the “fame and recognition” I love the business and everything about movies. Short film or blockbuster. I’m actually more of a fan of the movies not so big in name that most who follow the glitz and glamour of Hollywood wouldn’t know about. Create your own definition of “making it”

Adnan A naaa not for film or acting I’d say. Not many big RU-vid or social media stars have made a serious jump to movies. Most only go as far as getting half assed cameos or extra roles in trashy movies.

Fuck talent.. there is no such thing as talent when it comes to acting.. you are being yourselves or learning step by step to being someone else.

@@JERSEYBOYPLAY2HARD You're basically just learning how to react as your natural authentic self within the constraints of the script and your character's personality. Which really is just being a normal guy and showing authentic emotions for most actors.
