Jay Tudor from Stand-Up Comedy to Acting
What is it about acting that moves your soul?
I find it fascinating to try and get into someone else’s mind momentarily; however, I think I feel truly motivated by the idea of getting to be a part of a creation that’s bigger than myself.
You’ve had a lot of success in pageants. Tell us about your experience.
Well, I don’t really remember it all that well because I was so young – everybody loved me, I know that – but I do remember that my talent was stand-up comedy, and it was there that my mom taught me how to perform on-stage.
What is it about being on stage that you enjoy the most?
Being distantly loved by hundreds of people I don’t know.
Share your strengths as an Actor. How do you prepare for roles?
I like to look at the information on the character and define the character in my mind, then build up their design from there: mannerisms, the way they walk, etcetera. I also really find it important to get feedback from others, usually fellow actors.
Do you have favorite genres?
Recently I find interest in film noir, but in general I’ve been getting into more gritty, dark films.
What are your plans for 2021?
This year, I simply just want to contribute to a story.
