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/freelance writer-producer Kristen Buckels.

What do you do when an audition or shoot comes up?Since I freelance, my schedule fluctuates, but in general, if I have to shoot something I schedule it for a weekend. For auditions, I work in a field that is understanding about that and I request the time to go audition.
