Shane “Kenny” Jacobson’s Success Story.

Shane Jacobson is currently appearing at the Princess theatre in a stage presentation of “Guys and Dolls”, and currently is considered hot property on both stage and film, ever since he came out of no-where to star in the Movie “Kenny”, and become another overnight success. But? Did he really come from out of nowhere? No! Shane long harboured and nourished His acting talents, starting out with the Scouts Gang Shows way back in his youth. , Theatre -restaurant slapstick, and playing warm up man to others, and MC'ing wherever he could all followed in his attempts to make it in the industry. For years doors slammed in his face, as he became another journeyman working on the margins, addressing corporate lunches, inventing radio characters and singing at weddings; doing what he could to stay in the business, even if only on the fringes.

He also worked at other things to keep the money coming in; jobs such as managing a lighting and production company; and through this work, became friends of a toilet delivery company manager. Yep. The same one who put up the money to film the Movie “Kenny”! So never despise those who do ‘dirty “ jobs. You never know who may be the one to help you in your time of need, do you?

No Shane didn’t just burst on the scene as an overnight success but had long been there on the fringes practising and honing his skills and abilities doing everything that was available to further his experience and exposure. Do we do the same? Do we make the most of every opportunity?

Do we seek out each and every opportunity? Are we prepared to work and work hard at our desired gaol or do we expect it all to be dumped in our laps without us even asking? If you really think that, sorry and welcome to the real world were you have to work hard and take and make every opportunity work for you.

Again, what about you? Are you really prepared to get down and dirty and do the hard yards, not waiting but working, towards your future successes? Will you make the most of every opportunity even the unlikely ones? Well will you? Over to you for your input now. Walter
