    From Childhood Dreams to Hollywood Screens: A Conversation with Nicholas Gonzalez

    From Childhood Dreams to Hollywood Screens: A Conversation with Nicholas Gonzalez

    In this extraordinary and heartwarming episode, we invite you to join us as we sit down with the renowned actor, Nicholas Gonzalez. But this is no ordinary interview; it's a heartfelt conversation between old friends who have known each other since childhood. Together, we trace our journey from the "innocence" of youth to the glamour of Hollywood.

    Nicholas Gonzalez, a beloved figure in the world of entertainment, opened up about his experiences in the industry, his dreams, and the path that led Nicholas to become a celebrated actor.

    Bio:
    Nicholas Edward Gonzalez is an American actor. He is best known for playing the roles of Alex Santiago on the Showtime television series Resurrection Blvd. and Dr. Neil Melendez on the ABC television series The Good Doctor. Born in San Antonio, Texas, Gonzalez is conversant in Spanish, having lived in a bilingual household.

    He attended Central Catholic High School in San Antonio, where he was an accomplished cross-country and track runner, winning the Texas State Championship in the mile and two-mile. After graduating in 1994 and turning down a presidential appointment to West Point, Gonzalez pursued an English degree at Stanford University in California. He spent two terms at Oxford University in England.

    The following summer, he returned to Europe on a research grant where he studied at Oxford and Trinity College, Dublin to complete his thesis on James Joyce's Ulysses. While at Stanford he had chanced on acting after taking an improvisational theatre elective and began taking part in student theater. He was approached to do a one-man theater piece called Gas by María Irene Fornés.

    Alma Martinez, an actress and Stanford professor, encouraged him to become a professional actor. Upon graduating from Stanford in 1998 Gonzalez decided to pursue acting and, with Martinez's help, connected with the theatrical movement in San Francisco. He was once encouraged to use his middle name Edward to conceal his ethnicity and go by "Nicholas Edward" but declined to do so.

    Opening Quote: "...If you're not willing to change and you're not willing to grow, you're just going to die and you're just going to like you can probably live comfortably, you know, doing the same thing over and over again, like those dinosaurs that are still doing from there who are if once from their database or whatever have you. But if you're not willing to, you know, tell your story, bring in, you know, actual inquiries and bring in people that are going to pull you up and then literally talk about things that no one wants to talk about or answer questions on a regular basis. You know, just being out there, being a good person."                                                                   - Chris Lee

    Opening Quote: "...Take it as a learning lesson so that you never do it again, because these shifts that we're having in the market are not a matter of if they happen. It's always a matter of when they come. They're cyclical, things go up, and things go down. That's just the way economies work. So live within your means next time around for sure. If you already were, then good job because you obviously learned something or somebody taught it to you and just focus on making yourself better, hone your craft, get better at your message, figure out what value it is you bring your own respective markets and focus on putting out that message. The deals will come. We're not that far away from another little shift in our favor whether it's to lower rates or a little bit more inventory, things will move."                                  - Arjun Dhingra
