I like to do neither, or both.
Do you really act in real life, as a profession? I toy with the idea myself, as it seems there's correlations between the industry i've worked in for decades and that industry which seems to control the collective's unconscious identity of itself. That's power i think.
Imagine if actors did actually play a part in changing the world for the better, by using skills professional actors, dramatists are taught? Learning about the history of theatre and how it appeared in many different civilizations over the span of millenias might set you free!
Radical acting: It's worth giving it a shot. So is dramaturgy and psychodrama
Hope you are well and keeping up spirits.
Much love & blessings from an Aussie Down Under.

I have had various adventures in "The Industry". Yes I am a professional actor, but no longer in Los Angeles. Currently I am focusing more on my writing, but I do act in student films in Vancouver, Canada. There are many top film programs here and I volunteer to work in there productions. Some of them are really well done. This way I stay in shape until the day I change my focus again.
Here's a couple other of my L.A. actor tales-
