A few weeks ago, we talked about how a side hustle should fuel your acting, not suck your energy. To help illustrate what I mean about there being more options out there than slinging drinks and waiting tables, I’ll interview five actors who have fulfilling side hustles that don’t interfere with them kicking ass in the acting world. Their IMDB pages are stacked, they’re producing their own projects, and their side hustles have actually helped them achieve acting success, so be sure to check back for much-needed inspiration. This week, we chat with actor/writer’s assistant/personal assistant Lacey Jeka.
Name: Lacey Jeka
Side hustle: Writer’s assistant and personal assistant to Colin Quinn
Years acting: 7
Favorite acting credits/opportunities: Writing and acting in my show, “Tween Twin Detectives” at The Annoyance Theatre and a Spank show at UCB in NYC.
What do you do when an audition or shoot comes up?I work a lot from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible unless we’re on set for something. If we’re actively shooting or gearing up for a live show or filming something, things pick up and I know I’ll be mostly unavailable.
