This quote applies to multi-faceted entertainer Luke Charles Stafford.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vertical-dramas\">Vertical dramas<\/h2>\n<p>On being a part of the vertical drama world, Stafford remarked, \u201cIt has been good! I didn\u2019t come from the vertical world. I did Lifetime, some movies\u00a0on Apple TV, and I had a really short stint doing a Broadway show.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, I just came from\u00a0a really small town in the middle of Indiana,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe very first vertical I did was this past January,\u201d he noted. \u201cI did an audition for something that my manager sent me. I never knew what a vertical was.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn fact, when I flew to Atlanta to do the job, I noticed that the screen monitors were vertical, and after two or three scenes I told them that I thought their monitors were facing the wrong direction, but they told me \u2018welcome to the vertical world.\u2019 That\u2019s how I was introduced to verticals, and it has been one hell of a journey,\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEver since, my journey in the vertical world has taken off, and it keeps on rolling,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-daily-motivations\">Daily motivations<\/h2>\n<p>On his daily motivations as an actor, he said, \u201cI\u2019m definitely someone you would consider more of an old-school type of actor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI fell in love with acting when I was just playing \u2018Superman\u2019 or listening to a Hans Zimmer score or \u2018The Lion King\u2019 because I was so infatuated with that story. I was just so blown away by it and I do music as well. I sing and do all those things,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stafford-on-the-power-of-music-and-film\">Stafford on the power of music and film<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cBoth film and music can move\u00a0somebody\u2019s spirit in a powerful way,\u201d he underscored. \u201cI\u2019m a total nerd when it comes to those things, and how they can encourage\u00a0people and give them hope.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the things that actually really drives me. I really take the craft seriously even if I\u2019m just\u00a0playing a werewolf in a vertical, or if I\u2019m playing \u2018Iron Man\u2019 in a theater. I\u00a0really take that part seriously because I know what it can do, and what it has done for me, and that has\u00a0always motivated me,\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s amazing to be able to make a living\u00a0out of acting, and it\u2019s incredible to be in the entertainment business,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Luke Charles Stafford. Photo Credit: Michael Roud.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-digital-age\">The digital age<\/h2>\n<p>On being an entertainer in the digital age, Stafford stated, \u201cI\u2019m just lucky. I feel very grateful to be part of the digital age because film and TV were so different 20 years ago, and I just feel\u00a0really grateful that I was at the right age and the right time and everything lined up\u00a0so I could get this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am also grateful that it took some successful steps that got me here. I\u2019m thankful that I\u2019m here, and that everything has worked out,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-new-single-out-of-time\">New single \u2018Out of Time\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Stafford recently released his latest single \u201cOut of Time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On his single \u201cOut of Time,\u201d he remarked, \u201cIt was a very humbling experience to record it. I love the concept of it, especially since time and hope are some of the things that we need. In this song, I explore the feeling of running out of time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just love bringing cinematic elements of this song to the pop world,\u201d he said. \u201cIn addition to \u2018Out of Time,\u2019 I have two other singles out\u2026 they are pop songs from my heart, and I have a lot more music coming in the New Year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I see people resonating with my music, that really means the world to me,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Out Of Time - Luke Charles Stafford\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uBURhGDLm7M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stafford-on-the-trials-and-tribulations-to-get-to-where-he-is-today\">Stafford on the trials and tribulations to get to where he is today<\/h2>\n<p>For Stafford, it wasn\u2019t always an easy ride to get to where he is today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI moved to LA after college. It took me a few years,\u00a0where I was working my craft,\u201d he said. \u201cI worked every job you can imagine. I even lived in my car when I was in New York, and I was even homeless\u00a0a couple of times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I first moved to Los Angeles, I was a paddleboard instructor, and I was working\u00a0three other jobs just trying to get out of my car. Then, I ended up living with\u00a010 guys in Los Angeles,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t just want to be a sax player. In my heart, ever since I was a little boy, I wanted to be an actor, singer, songwriter and to own businesses one day,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was a kid, I was made fun of for being overweight. One of my teachers told me I was tone deaf and I was also bulimic, where I lost a bunch of weight because of that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-career-defining-moments\">Career-defining moments<\/h2>\n<p>On his career-defining moments, Stafford shared, \u201cI have that story where I started from the bottom. I grew up in a small town, we didn\u2019t have a lot of money, I came from simple and humble roots, and fast forward many years later, I was doing a Broadway show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went from doing paddleboard instructing in LA and working three jobs, trying to just get a place to live with 10 guys to then, I landed on Broadway, which was a very unique role,\u00a0which included saxophone playing,\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was a very formative moment for me, because I learned there are so many layers of lessons. I learned that we can\u2019t do this life alone. After I came back to Los Angeles, I gave this career path everything I had,\u201d he acknowledged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was taking acting classes and vocal lessons, and I was just giving it everything I had. I was writing all the songs I had been carrying for 15 years. I even got a job conducting choir at a church,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter Broadway, I got my first job on Apple TV. So, it all started working, it\u2019s a testament that you\u2019ve got it,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-advice-for-young-and-emerging-artists\">Advice for young and emerging artists<\/h2>\n<p>For young and aspiring artists, he said, \u201cYou need to be 100 percent true to who you are because that\u2019s going to be the greatest gift\u2026 how you serve other people\u00a0first and then being able to serve yourself. Broadway was the catalyst for that, and it\u00a0set me off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope to return to Broadway someday; that would be amazing, especially to have a full circle kind of moment,\u201d he admitted.<\/p>\n<p>Stafford is a firm believer of treating everyone on set the way they wish to be treated. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always lived with the philosophy of treating people with the utmost kindness and respect, whether they are Brad Pitt or a boom operator. I always just treat people with the same amount of respect,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stage-of-his-life\">Stage of his life<\/h2>\n<p>On the title of the current chapter of his life, Stafford revealed, \u201cI\u2019m just getting started.\u201d \u201cI feel this is the rise and I feel confident in what I can do,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like my I\u2019m happy with where my craft is at, and I\u2019m still\u00a0slaving away at it. Everything is working out and I\u2019m just glad to be here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-superpower-of-choice\">Superpower of choice<\/h2>\n<p>When asked what his superpower of choice would be, Stafford said, \u201cI\u2019m a Superman nerd. I love Superman, and I would love to fly. After that, it would be super-strength.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-success\">Success<\/h2>\n<p>On his definition of the word success, Stafford said, \u201cSuccess means inspiring people and giving them hope in the mediums\u00a0that I\u2019ve chosen such as film, music, storytelling and business.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-message-for-his-fans\">Message for his fans<\/h2>\n<p>For his fans and supporters, Stafford expressed, \u201cThe fact that there are people out there supporting me, that means the world. I am very grateful to the fans, and that what I\u2019m doing means something to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I don\u2019t feel bigger or better than anyone who is watching or doing what I\u2019m doing, or who is moved by it. As a result, it\u2019s very humbling. I just feel as one of the fans,\u201d Stafford concluded.<\/p>\n<p>His single \u201cOut of Time\u201d is available on digital service providers by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/distrokid.com\/hyperfollow\/lukecharles\/out-of-time\">clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Luke Charles Stafford, visit his <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/lukecharlesstafford.net\">official website<\/a>, and follow him on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lukecharlesstafford\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.digitaljournal.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luke Charles Stafford.
