Welcome to another week of Side Hustle Spotlight where I interview actors and filmmakers at different levels of their career who have used their other passions to capitalize on a fulfilling side hustle. These folks no longer or have never had to do serving work that drained their energy and made them miserable. Be sure to check out the original article for inspiration on discovering your side hustle. This week’s actor has worked to produce a successful Off-Off Broadway show that features new and notable playwrights and gives him the flexibility to pursue his own acting and writing goals.
Name: Brett Epstein
Side hustle: Producer and host of Rule of 7×7
Years acting: Six years professionally, but I majored in theater and writing at Providence College and went to a performing arts high school in New Haven.
Favorite acting credits/opportunities: I was also lucky to be playing a hilarious, juicy role in Michael Walek’s hilarious new play “Asking for Trouble” at Ensemble Studio Theatre. In addition, my favorite opportunities are usually the ones I afford myself; playing a morally questionable director of operations at a SeaWorld-type park
