Patrick Scott Jeffries on Quitting Acting and Finding the Passion again in his 30s

Patrick Scott Jeffries on Quitting Acting and Finding the Passion again in his 30s

Actors Making It

Patrick had huge dreams of making in big in Hollywood after discovering the joy of acting at a young age. Performing in the school plays and landing an agent early on in his career, he thought he was set.   

Fast forward to quitting drama school, giving in to the pressures of fitting in and letting toxic friendships crush his spirit, Patrick threw in the towel for many years as the pressures and impact on his mental health all became too much.   

Years later, he's reignited his passion and landed his first three TV Credits while living in Europe and he's relocated home to England to follow his dreams.   

In this weeks conversation we talk about body dysmorphia, mental health struggles and juggling full time employment while trying to Make It.
