Month: September 2023

Throughout my career, I’ve often labeled myself. Comedian, actor, writer, director, improviser… but I’m realizing now I’ve been labeling myself moment to moment based on the opportunities I’m getting. When I’m getting a lot of opportunities to perform live comedy, I might call myself an improviser, or a comedian. When I’m primarily auditioning and acting for films, I might feel like an actor above all, even though I’m also focused on directing. Any label I place on myself in a moment is just a placeholder to explain to other people how I spend my time. It’s not who I AM, it’s just what I’m DOING. Who I AM is kind, curious, and hardworking… I’m interested in weird comedy, and movies that don’t take themselves too seriously. I love my family and my partner, I love sharing personal stories, and I’m so much more than I could ever fit into one paragraph. Labels are restricting. I don’t need to label myself, because I’m COLIN, and I’ll always go wherever my heart and the opportunities meet.
