Brooklyn-born actor comes home to perform Shakespeare
Co-stars in Smith Street Stage production of ‘Much Ado About Nothing’
It’s never too late to pursue your dreams. And if you’re middle aged, still chasing after a dream, and haven’t yet reached your goal, don’t give up.
That’s the advice Brooklyn-born actor Michael Vincent Carrera has for fellow actors whose lofty dreams are bombarded by the tough reality of life as a struggling artist.
Carrera, who grew up in Bensonhurst, is a middle-aged actor who has been living the life of an artist for more than 20 years. “Being an actor means doing other jobs. You have to pay the rent. It’s a hard life, but it’s also so rewarding,” he told the Brooklyn Eagle over lunch at Hinsch’s in Bay Ridge on Thursday.
