Every Monday we are celebrating actors we love!
Today we are spotlighting Lindsey Gort- a firecracker of a human being who captured our attention the very first time we saw her. We first met Lindsey when she was performing live in the FOR THE RECORD series here in Los Angeles, showcasing her vocal chops as well as her acting. And we were not surprised to see that stage charisma translate to the screen when she was cast as a young “Samantha Jones” in THE CARRIE DIARIES. Since then she has proven there are many different roles she can play and she is enthusiastic to try them all.
Now Lindsey shares some tips with you:
1.) Be nice to everyone! This is a small town and word travels fast if you’re labeled difficult or mean. Create the environment you want to spend your time in, because if you’re lucky enough to be on set, chances are you will be spending long hours there, and often times you will continue to work with the same people.
2.) There is no such thing as a small role. A great example is when I was cast as a guest star in a pilot and was promoted to a series regular after the first table read. There was another time when I was cast as a guest star for one or two episodes in another show, and it turned into a three-season job (two as a series regular). If I had written off the jobs as “just” a guest star, I wouldn’t have had those opportunities. Basically, I pretend my character is the lead of their own show and try to fill in as much backstory and nuance as I can.
3.) Never give up. I remember booking my first big job, playing a young ‘Samantha Jones’ on The Carrie Diaries/. I had to test three different times because they kept saying no, they were going to keep looking for someone with more experience/more famous. After weeks of back and forth, I finally booked it. As cliché as it sounds, if it’s meant to be, it will be. If you really want a job, see if you can retape if they have notes. Granted, it doesn’t always work, but it could be the difference of booking or not.
Lindsey has more more tips for you in the comment section below. Keep reading!

as they say about the number seven: 7 colors make a rainbow, 7 chords make music, 7 days make a week, 7 continents make a world, and 7 letters make us MARRIED. (so does a legal document). 7 years ago i married a man who told me i was the love of his life, and not a day goes by that he doesn’t make me feel that. i love you, @beaulaughlin ❤️ lucky number 7 will be the best year yet. #whatsinthebox
where Judy Garland filmed A Star Is Born, Goldie Hawn filmed Private Benjamin, Marlon Brando filmed Streetcar, and Friends filmed all the Ones ❤️ to think my face is on the side of Warner Brothers Studios where all of these things filmed, sandwiched between posters for Abbott Elementary (i love) and Ted Lasso (i love love!) is such an honor and something that i will never take for granted. in my darkest of times, i will remember that, if nothing else, i made my young self’s dream come true. merrily merrily merrily merrily…🚣🏼♀️🚣🏼♀️

today would be Judy Garland’s 100th birthday. i’m wearing overalls like she did in Summer Stock. i’m wearing my ruby slippers later tonight. i’m watching her all day on @tcm. the impact she’s had on me starting from when i was maybe 4- including the couple years i believed i *was* her, reincarnated- is boundless. here’s to happy days for all. for judy. aka for me. cuz- reincarnation.
some days are *colder* than others 😂thank you to my ladies for hyping me up at 6am and making me feel like i was a 5’4” victoria’s secret model.
may this week bring you the kind of pure childlike joy i felt riding this horse around Malibu like i was Cowgirl Barbie. Paramount Ranch
🎂 thank you for all the birthday wishes 🎂 growing another year older is a gift- probably the only gift i won’t return or exchange 😂 special thanks to my family for making this weekend so special- and to the valet at @cafe_monarch for busting out a full-on professional lighting kit to take this picture of @beaulaughlin and i 👏🏻👏🏻
shout out to the amazing women who help me transform from a troll doll into a barbie doll every day. @sharpmakeup @reidcheryl @icurenudity i couldn’t do it without you! (literally. i’ve tried. i looked terrible) #allrise #allriseown @allriseown @warnerbrostv @owntv #womenshistorymonth
