Brian Cutler dispels the myth of "overnight success," noting that reaching a successful acting career in major cities like LA, Nashville, or New York often requires a 10 to 15-year journey. He stresses the importance of rigorous training, gathering professional materials, and building a supportive network or "village" to grow with. According to Cutler, this time frame is essential not only for developing skills but also for gaining life experience, as maturity plays a key role in being fully prepared for meaningful roles that come with age.
