11.) Advice to Upcoming Artiste/aspiring actors?

I liked his first answer to this.....

- If your thinking of geting into this for the money or fame then your in the wrong place,try other get rich quick schemes....acting/music is about patience,lots of working hard/smart,being respectful to all people and above all its about passion...do not expect to much, to early,too soon and do not let the change ( fame ) get into your head when you make it.

Anto Neosoul...doing what he does best..

Thats the Man of the Moment ,a young man,making it big with his talent,its all about passion knowing what you want in life and pursing it without detering. He is come from far to be where he is today and is still going to greater heights...just watch His pace.
