For those asking, this video DID accidentally go live last week for 10 mins. So a few hundred of you might've already seen it hahah. LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
jshortee yes, I have a pretty large handful of acting related vids from the years!
I thought it seemed familiar! Glad I'm not going crazy haha
you are very close to 90K !!! I hope you get your 100K before the end of 2020 :) a lot of love
Awe, thank you so much :-) I truly hope so too!
I'm also an actor in LA, you literally repeated my own life back to me! It's sooo nice to relate!
Loved listening to you spill the tea. I brought my cup of iced coffee. I don’t miss anything you post. I feel like we are all your fambam!
Awe, so so honored you are part of the fambam!!
You’re almost to 90K! I’m so excited for you! Watching your videos are the highlight of my day! 😊💖
Do a part 2 please 😁 this video was so interesting.
I loved hearing this even though I will never be an actor. I would love a part 2. Just fascinating Thanks Michel!
Yay, thank you friend! :-)
It is tough, my sister was on Days of Our Lives for 3 yrs in a major role until the actress that left wanted to come back...😒....she was also on Melrose Place which is way before your time 😉...my brother worked in the movies too, he said Drew Barrymore was the nicest actor he ever worked with....
Cool
I loved days of our lives! I haven't watched it in a while though. Who did your sister play on days of our lives? If u don't mind me asking.
Ok as a DOOL fanatic i have to ask which role she played lol
@@Baconbreath0652 she played Jennifer...Melissa the gal that left wanted to come back
@@Fizzin_AtThe_Wisco she played Jennifer
Eagerly waiting for subscription box unboxing video for this month ❤️❤️❤️
Yes please do a part two, this was so interesting.
This was so super interesting! Yes to part 2 please.
I would love to see a part 2. It's so interesting!
Please release a part 2. I have no interest/talent to do acting myself, but I love hearing about other people's career.
Also, does anyone else save a weeks worth of Michel's videos for the weekend and then just binge them? Or just me?
Watched Emily in Paris a few nights ago. The actress is good, no criticism of her, but I kept thinking Michel would have been great in this roll! Good luck to you. Oprah should give you a talk show. You have it all!
The girl who played Emily in that show is the daughter of famous musician Phil Collins.
Omg stop this is the SWEETEST!
Love your outro music...sounds like old school r & b.
I loved this video! I’ve always had, what I thought, was an odd obsession with what goes on “behind the scenes” in media production. I would love nothing more then to just get to hang out all day on a major movie set and watch the magic! I’ve gotten to experience a bit of the action from being a makeup artist and doing music videos, but there isn’t much going on in Seattle 🤷🏻♀️ Anyways, a part two would be fun :)
Part 2 please. Would love to learn more
Such an interesting video about the world of Hollywood and acting!
Before COVID, I applied for a Finance job and went through several rounds of interview. In 1 of the rounds, they asked me to record a video of myself answering a set of questions. I would not know the question until the recording started. I was sweating bullets and tripping over my words. I don't know how actors do it!
This was super interesting to me as I have always wonder about acting especially living in the Uk
part 2!
Very interesting. I would like to hear more. Have you ever been asked to sing or dance? How likely are you to be on set at the same time as a well known actor? Is the “casting couch” a real thing? Have you ever felt uncomfortable in a casting situation and walked away for any reason?
Ooooh these are GREAT questions for pt 2!
I vote that you now have to rotate through emotions while explaining things all the time 😂 haha that was too cute!
HAHAHAH
every time you say you're going to end the video my brain goes "noooooooooooooo don't gooooo"
AWE! I love you friend!
This is so interesting. My daughter is majoring in technical theatre and I love to learn about all of the related industries.
Part 2 please!!
yes, part two pls!
Part 2😊😊
This was super interesting to me as I have always wonder about acting especially living in the Uk
Yes! I would love a part 2.
I love this so much. It was really interesting, and I would love a part 2!
Super early! Thank you for sharing, Michel!
So part 2 of who you have met in the acting field. What’s one tv show you would have loved to work on?
I'm a makeup artist and it has been a hard time with Covid and productions either not booking their artists or not paying them/paying very little. This on top of the fact that responsible artists have invested so much into hygiene methods that cost quite a lot. This year has been a bit of a nightmare in this industry...
Girl I so feel you, 2020 has changed everything about this industry! Hang in there, I will be praying it picks up soon
How do you get an agent
Yes a part 2!
Thanks for this it was so helpful
You’re the best!!!
michel, you're not a no nome actor!! you are talented and you played in so many things so dont feel like you're not enough because you are. you just didnt have your big break and some day i know you will. good luck!
New subscriber here. Part 2!!
I have a question. I know it might not be answered by Michel though, but that's okay. If you aren't in the acting world to be famous and just do it for fun. Then wouldn't it be worthwhile to go back to Texas and work there? I remember in one of your videos you showed some sadness towards the fact that a lot of your friends where moving away from LA. I am just curious on your thoughts about that are.
Love your content though!
Super interesting 🌰🍄🍁

thee ay tur
Michel! I have the best video idea 💡! What if you did a trying and ranking matchas from all over LA or... some sort of taste test where you buy a ton of matchas pour them in to the same glasses ask brooke to mix them up then u guess where they are from? I would love to see these!💗
RUclips says this video just dropped but I feel like I've watched this video already. Is that possible???
I think she made a similar one a while ago, but this one is different questions :-)
@@erinsmith6173 Nope I've definitely seen this exact video before!
Yea me too
I think she accidentally uploaded this video a while ago, then deleted it soon after. Maybe you saw it before she deleted it? Also, I don’t think she would re upload it for more views... (I know that I’m replying to two diff people)
@@sarahjane262 I doubt very much that she reposted the same video just to see if it could get more views. She would have just made the part two like she said she might. Maybe I just watched thee first time so quickly before she realized she had uploaded the wrong one and took it down the last time she uploaded this video. If only I was so lucky in contests LOL
I'm also an actor in LA, you literally repeated my own life back to me! It's sooo nice to relate!
