Having worked as a Production Manager on Dramas, I have some advice for actors, Upcoming and OGs.

1. Always remain humble. This makes all the producers and crew rave about how cool it is to work with you. it almost guarantees you a call for another project.

2. Never ever throw tantrums on set. Take whatever instruction like a sane adult. Productions are hard and sometimes shit hits the fan. The producers might ask you to work overtime or do something that wasn’t agreed upon in the beginning. always handle such moments with grace. you don’t have to always agree with what is being asked of you but always find a graceful way to handle it.

3. Always ask if there is more you can do to help and Never throw your weight around. No one, Not even the lead actor is bigger than the production itself. 

4. Treat every crew member with respect. They are all to make the show and you look good.
