Ep. 63: Staying Present & Positive in Your Acting Career with Nelson Bonilla

In this episode, Alison and special guest, actor Nelson Bonilla, talk about navigating those extreme highs and lows we all experience in this business. Nelson opens up about his journey in the entertainment industry thus far, shares about why wellness and balance are so vital to success as an actor, and how he navigates through both the seasons of success and dry spells. Nelson has a magical way of speaking straight to the heart, so get ready to feel inspired by this powerhouse! Featured Guest: You might recognize Nelson as the hitman, also named Nelson from the past few seasons of Ozark. His credits also include, Black and Blue, The Haunting of Hill House, MacGuyver, Creepshow, and Star. He is incredibly talented and equally as kind and I have learned so much from him in class and in our community. https://www.instagram.com/nelsonbx13/ https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2028052/ About the show: It's a Slate of Mind with Alison Haselden is a video-podcast designed to spark honest, unfiltered conversations within the entertainment industry community about things we're all thinking but don't talk about enough.
