Dealers Choice with Chris Romano
Episode 26: I took notes so you didn’t have to….Today we are talking all about everything and anything with the incredibly funny Chris Romano, aka Romanski!
Chris is an incredible, writer, actor, director, producer and great friend of mine! You can see some of his work on How I Met Your Mother, Blue Mountain State and Drunk History. And please keep an eye out for his new project, Kill the Orange Faced Bear. And there may or may not be a few Blue Mountain State reunions at Comic Cons throughout the US this year.
Want to break into “the business”? Chris has some advice for you…
Surround yourself with people that are doing what you want to do.
Get an entry level job in what you ideally want to do and work your way up
If you want to write, write every day and get your work out there. If you want to be an actor, then act. Get your work out there and act.
Make sure you have a reel and make it stand out
Utilize your social media
LA, Toronto and NYC is still great places to be to get in front of the right people.
Don’t stop, believe in yourself and keep going! You GOT THIS!!!! Go out and crush it!
Need advice for kids who don’t want to eat dinner?
Chris loves to take his kids to the grocery store with them and have them pick out things “they want” for dinner. So they feel involved. That way they feel like they are making some decisions and also you still have some control. Also try withholding too many snacks during the day so they are actually hungry at dinner time. We both know how hard that is and in the end it’s a total crap shoot but good luck!
Breakfast, Snacks, Dinners and Cocktail ideas…Oh My
Tahini and Carrots (Chris loves this)
Salami Hummus (Chris loves this)
Chomps (Chris loves this)
Fresh Blueberries
Chicken Cutlets and as Chris says “The Meat Pounder”
Lemonade/Coffee/Tea *pro tip, to turn this into an adult beverage add some peach vodka to this!
