Follow your dreams and when nothing is going right, go left!
“I’m not afraid of jumping out
there and take it to the next level”, said 16-year-old Cortney
Churchill. “When I’m acting I can be who ever I want and that’s why I enjoy
doing it.”
This aspiring model and actor has
his eyes on auditioning at Juillard, “I’m a senior..whooooo!! School means a
lot to me, that’s why I’m always so hard on myself,” he said.
“I’ve been interested in becoming a
model when I was in the sixth grade”, Cortney said. “ I would be in the market
and look at a magazine and just wonder what if that was me.”
Cortney has received training in
the arts at John Casablanca’s Modeling & Acting Career Center in Atlanta. “
I’m still new to the game but I have some experience”, he
laughed.
“My role model is Tami Moon. She’s
my theater teacher and I’ve became fearless because of her! She motivates me to
go higher, taught me a lot about acting, and actually believes in
me. “
This ambitious youth’s celebrity
favorites include Tom Cruise and Angelina Jolie. Cortney has participated in a
handful of local productions thus far. “I’ve been in multiple plays such as A
Raisin In the Sun, Little Shop of Horrors, The Good Doctor ; And I just got
casted in a play called “Lord I Believe” written by Derrell Owens, which will be
performed in 2013.”
As far as global production on a
higher scale of broadcasting, Cortney has a preferred role in mind. “I would
like to play a physico, something crazy, something that could be challenge”, he
said. This actor’s diversity extends beyond performance and sometimes bleeds
into profile cast. Yet Cortney wishes to clarify any ethnicity confusion: “...I’m not mixed,” he laughed,” everyone assume that I’m mixed because of my hair.
I’m African American! “
Cortney may be a serious mature
model and performer, but he still indulges from time to time. “I eat a lot of
salad. Salad is good”, he said. “I like soul food, but I love sushi!! Sushi is
amazingly good. I go to the gym whenever I have free time or I work out in my
room, do about 75 pushups a day, and 50 crunches. “
With the summer break underway,
Cortney’s schedule is wide open for booking. He ended the interview with tips
for other aspiring actors, “Hmm…STAY IN CHARACTER!!” “My theatre teacher would
always tell me” he laughed, “never give up, even after a million times you’ve
been told NO! Follow your dreams and when nothing is going right, go
left. “
