Today we’d like to introduce you to Kris Salvi.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Kris. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I’m actually not sure how this all started, wanting to be an actor. I guess I’ve kind of always had a flair for the dramatics and discovering acting early in my high school years just seemed to fit me. I can’t pinpoint an exact time when I said “Hey, that’s it I want to be an actor” I think I just sort of fell into it I guess. I started with plays and little home movies with my friends and that escalated into more professional films.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Like all passions, you have some ups and downs when it comes to acting. You might go many months without getting a script or an audition or being rejected or not being right for a project. Then something might happen where you end up getting a great role or a few great roles and you find yourself busy and working on projects for a year straight.
It can be tough and I knew from the start that it would never be easy, you have to sometimes develop your own projects and write your own stuff and that’s okay, so you try to find a nice middle ground and try to stay active, auditions and what not. Even Just auditioning is a good way to keep acting or attending classes.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Actor – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
I’m not really a “Business” or a company, I mean I’m my own boss as an actor and I pretty much just specialize in acting and work for other directors in the area. I’m proud of a few movies that I have done. A film called Delusion comes to mind that is now available on Amazon.
It’s directed by Christopher Dinunzio, a great director in the Boston area. Another film I did called 86 about a gambler who bets on the 1986 World Series is another film I’m proud of. Strawberry Lane, A film directed by Jeremy Arruda. Deja Vuers Directed By Chris Esper. Happy Place by Jordan Tofalo
Those are the performances that I believe I’m most proud of, It’s hard sometimes to set the performances apart and yourself apart from others. I don’t personally think I’m that great of an actor, I just do the job and try to give the best performance I can with the material I have. Most of the time when I get cast in a film, I’m shocked.
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
Right now I’m just trying to continue the craft of acting, I still have a long way to go and more roles that I look forward to playing. Trying to challenge myself is a big motivator for me, what role would be different, what film would be different. That sort of thing, I’m not sure what I want to do or where I want to go in the future. I have no interest at this moment of moving to Hollywood and trying to become a “Star” I still have much to learn before I even strongly consider that. We’ll see where this nutty craft takes me.
