// LIFE IN FOOTY TO ACTING LIMELIGHT
Today we feature the first actor on Beyond The Curtain.
Ethan Panizza is a talented actor, most recently seen on our screens in the Channel 10 show Playing for Keeps.
He has an interesting journey where he was on a straight road to one life in footy and changed course to follow his heart and pursue an acting career. Whilst playing professional footy for Claremont Football Club in Western Australia, the team his Dad played for, and obtaining an electrical apprenticeship; it was an injury that gave him the space to listen to his deep calling for acting.
In our chat we discuss his road from footy to acting, his experiences in LA and most recent time on set of Playing for Keeps. Ethan is also super open with his experiences with depression and what he has done to combat this and prioritise his mental health.
Something in this for everyone, enjoy!
