Screen Acting Alumna Appears on Sons of Anarchy
September 21, 2012
Lexi Sakowitz (’12) recently made her debut on the FX series
Sons of Anarchy
and will continue to appear on several more episodes throughout the season. Says Lexi, ”It is pretty exciting, and working with those guys was an absolute dream come true. My experience as a screen actor was absolutely invaluable. My reel is what broke me into the business, period. Without it, I wouldn’t have gotten any of the meetings with casting directors, producers, directors, or network executives, who after seeing the work on my reel have launched me onto as many projects as possible. If you don’t have a reel fresh out of school you take yourself out of the running, and will instead find yourself trying to put together your own material in a last ditch, last minute effort to show them something that will showcase your talent. After having the opportunity to be in so many Dodge films I had the quality of material to match anyone else’s reel in the business.”
