What Acting In Hollywood Is Really Like: My Best & Worst Experiences (Ep.4) 

WTF I am trying to enjoy Gabe acting as though he was once an actor 😅😂😂😂

As an actor myself, I'm currently going through this in the theater🎭 industry. I've already had to decline a role because I wasn't comfortable performing it as a Christian. In film/television, it's a little bit different because of the actor's agent/agency and what they expect their actors to pursue. An actor's agent is responsible for getting their actors auditions through their connections with producers or casting directors. They usually don't like it when you turn down roles because they get paid when the actor lands a role. With that said, it's up to Gabe to communicate with his agent/agency and let them know beforehand if he's not comfortable with taking certain roles. Gabe has to be the one to put his foot down and say no, even if it means being jobless(in acting anyway), or getting dropped by an agency. For me personally, I've already decided that no role is worth compromising my walk with the Lord Jesus Christ(Mark 8:36). If God should bless me with a wife, then I will apply that same principle and reject kissing roles, to protect my marriage and the heart of my wife. Like I said, at the end of the day. It's going to come down to Gabe, and his conviction when he's put in that situation. Ephesians 5:25-28 KJV "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself."

I agree. I had to have that conversation with my agent when I was pursuing acting. If Gabe doesn’t feel he needs to have that same conviction, I still pray on behalf of Jess that those doors will be closed. Thanks so much for sharing your journey and thoughts as a Christian in entertainment. 🙏🏽

Definitely agree with you and @elbertrobles8784. Acting is truly my passion but it became too difficult to pursue a career in the industry knowing what I might have to do. I'm praying the Lord will come alongside me in the future with plans for making my own films.

Do you remember the name of the vlog? Would love to watch it haha!

@@youknowyoulovemeexoh It’s called Kissing another girl for an acting role

Is something that I don't understand, is not a sin anyway?

Yes, they are amazing 🤩

yess I feel the same. I'm sure that's just their dynamic but I hope Jess knows she's so relatable for us girls and she should never stop being her fully authentic self!

def agreeing!

Yup!

and that’s exactly why it’s important for believers to go if they’re called to the industry! Jesus was friends with the most scandalous of people, the tax collectors, prostitutes. plus, any industry is dark let’s be real. there’s dishonesty in the finance industry, and other wickedness in any industry. i live in LA and work in the industry and let me tell you God is working! @PaulandMorgan

@@Sarah-sr8zwthank you for sharing your thoughts and personal experience seeing God move within entertainment. I agree, there is no “safe” industry. Safety and protection only exists within our obedience to The Lord and being where He’s placed us. 🙏🏽

That’s so true unfortunately

Yes... out here scrolling and can't find anything!

The animated movie they did was spies in disguise but I still can’t figure out where their lines were

Because the bible says it can be degrading for another (break another down instead of building them up), it can cause hurt and offences with others and the Lord wants us to use our mouth in a godly manner whereby we don't say obscene and filthy words.

The scriptures: ephesians 4:29, ephesians 5:4, james 3:10, james 5:12, 1 petrus 3:10 and many more. You NEED to be born again out water (baptism and full immersion) and the Holy Spirit to overcome this swearing (john 3, acts 19:1/5 etc. Hope that helps

@@familievk6447 wow that’s really interesting thank you so much for your answer ! love learning about religion and educating myself as much as possible so i really appreciate it :)

@@floks3223 No problem dear

I don't believe it's explicitly forbidden or called a sin in the Bible, but God does call us to be "set apart" from the world (basically to act differently, and try to be a light in the world) and I just don't see swearing as productive or positive, in a lot of cases it makes people uncomfortable and is considered vulgar. I think it's not "forbidden" but more so frowned upon and highly implied that we should try and be different in a good way.
