Actor Benito Martinez: There’s only one of you, so work on YOU

…Sure be inspired by artists you like, but there’s only one of you so work on YOU. Study, practice, learn, fail, dust yourself off and repeat. With a little luck, a lot of perseverance and the right attitude, you’ll have an amazing journey -the destination is not as important we were made to believe.

I had the pleasure to interview Actor Benito Martinez. Benito is on the Board of Directors of the Television Academy Foundation. Established in 1959 as the charitable arm of the Television Academy, the Television Academy Foundation is dedicated to preserving the legacy of television while educating and inspiring those who will shape its future. Through renowned educational and outreach programs, such as The Interviews: An Oral History Project of the Television Academy Foundation, College Television Awards and Student Internship Program, the Foundation seeks to widen the circle of voices our industry represents and to create more opportunity for television to reflect all of society.
