Actor/Model and Voice-Over Artist, Brian E. Neal Recently Featured in “Best of” Vogue Italia, Proves Hard Work and Determination is the Key to Success

Chicago, IL, September 25, 2016 --(PR.com)-- A recent interview with Brian E. Neal proves that he is no stranger to knowing what it takes to succeed in one’s path of choice. Brian E. Neal stated in a recent interview that he knows “if you do your best to do everything the right way by remaining dedicated, working hard and proceeding passionately in the direction of your dreams, things have a great chance of working out the way you want them to.” He also conveyed that “he wants to serve as an example to others through his work as a model, actor and voice over artist, to demonstrate clearly that hard work does pay off and much good in life is attainable.” Recently, he was part of a circus themed shoot brought in as a lead model and acrobat. The shoot was hosted by photographer, Thomas HP Jerusalem a.k.a. Jerry to those who know him in the Chicago area. The photographer then submitted photographs from the shoot to Vogue Italia, who then picked up the photographs. Two of five photographs that Vogue Italia selected from this shoot of Brian E. Neal, appeared on Vogue Italia’s “Best of” page on their website. Additionally, Neal was recently featured as a young father in American Girl Magazine. Neal started to actively pursue both of his passions of acting and modeling at the age of 25, and according to how things evolved, “he is a true example of someone who has true talent, a dream and works hard to live that dream,” according to an industry peer. According to Neal, his start in modeling simply came about from seeking out legitimate opportunities through searching online platforms, which lead to his participation in runway shows in the Chicago area. The runway show work later evolved into Commercial and Fashion Print work. In terms of acting, he was provided with a list by Actors and Models for Christ of agents in the area for him to pursue, in an effort to find appropriate representation. He actively pursued that list, and Neal concluded, after this, “the rest is history.”

Brian E. Neal has over 29 credits to his name as an actor, according to IMDb.com. He became a union actor in December 2014, obtaining his SAG/AFTRA membership then. “I started work as a background actor and then more roles followed, now working in a supporting and principle role capacity.” Many actors just getting started in the industry have asked Neal when the ability to join the union came about and after what specific roles. According to Brian E. Neal, he was cast for a film entitled “Lower Wacker Drive” written and directed by Greg Cervantez. This role made him “SAG/AFTRA eligible.” After this he was involved in two commercials, one for Nike and one for PowerAde. It was then his time to join SAG/AFTRA, “happily,” Neal added. Brian E. Neal states, “I want the world to know that I had a dream to pursue my passions and do what I love for work, so I made a plan to be able to live my dream, and worked hard to enforce that dream until I started succeeding, and it worked!” He wants to show others “it’s possible.” After all, it is common knowledge the word “impossible” truly means “I’m possible” another industry peer stated, and “Brian E. Neal is a good example of that.” It makes sense in terms of a general consensus that one of Neal’s favorite actors is Will Smith, known for working hard to achieve all he has to date. “I have followed his career from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air days. I watched it so much that I think I started to pick up some of his mannerisms, like when he would stare at the camera as if he were looking at us, the audience, anytime something silly happened,” Neal articulated. Neal having reached his first significant dream of becoming a working actor and model, has conveyed that he has high hopes of one day possibly being able to work alongside Will Smith on a film or TV project. “I have immense respect for him, he is very talented and has worked hard to achieve all he has, that is evident,” Neal concluded. So Will Smith. If you are listening. Brian E. Neal is also a man on a mission to achieve much good through hard work, determination and perseverance.
