5 Reasons Why Actors Should Take a Writing Class

1. Only you know that character deep inside who has been dying to come out.
2. Casting Directors can only handle hearing Neil Simon monologues so many times…
3. Auditions are not the only way to carve out an acting career. Some actors, like Issa Rae (creator of HBO’s Insecure), take the bull by the horns and write their own roles.
4. Writing can fuel the creative passion that keeps you moving forward.
5. Actors are master improvisers and character builders. They can bring so much to the heart of a story. Why not use that talent?
