its one thing to do movies - that have famous people in it, large productions, red carpet premieres (a real movie) vs. doing a movie that is released on video that no one will ever see.  even to review it. 
You have to start somewhere.  how many wannabe actors/actresses are there in LA?  everyone there is an "actor"  they just happen to be a waiter or busboy or valet or something else because they can't even get into a strait to dvd movie.  he is doing pretty good considering he is in his late 30s and is just barely starting his acting career.  most people try for 20+ years and dont even get that far.
