This week on Hitting Your Mark, I sat down with actor Brandan Hunter Davis, who you may have seen on shows like Abbott Elementary and The Pitt.
Our conversation was all about believing in yourself, especially as a creative. Brandan opened up about the confidence that came from booking major TV roles, but also the rejection, comparison, and difficult moments that came with chasing this dream.
He shared how he was once told that unless he looked like Evan Ross or Chris Brown, he wouldn’t make it in this business. Moments like that can make you question your path, but Brandan talked about how his community, family, and faith have helped him keep going.
He also opened up about how his faith in God has been tested. There were moments where he felt like God had forgotten about him, but it was through those real, honest conversations with God that his relationship with Him became even stronger.
One of my favorite moments was when I asked him what he would tell his 5-year-old self, since that’s when he started acting. His answer was simple but powerful: keep your childlike innocence. In other words, keep going for it wholeheartedly, without fear of rejection.
And honestly, that’s our advice to everyone.
Whether you’re an actor, creative, or someone who needs a reminder to believe again, this episode is for you. You can watch at the link below!
For the dreamers.
