We had the good fortune of connecting with Andrew Rosales and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Andrew, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
How I think risk taking played a part in my career is ever since I was a kid I was a risk taker and at times I took a little too much of a risk. But it’s helped me in the long run good and bad by showing me my path and what I need to do to get to where I want to be. The first time I took a huge risk was when I was a freshman in high school and I was still discovering myself but this one teacher approached me in the hall wag during passing period and asked me if I like to film and I said yes at the time because it has always been my interest. A few hours later I get a email about a club that is all about filming but it’s during the hours I had class so the day after I took the risk by doing all the work that morning for all my classes and ditched them for months to pursue my dream of being a film maker/Actor. I also met amazing people and made huge connections I also landed brand deals because of the risk I took and how far it got me as a person.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
When I first started I didn’t know much when it came to acting, Filming or pretty much anything but as life went on and as I took risk I learned and gradually grew. What sets me apart from others is the fact that I’m constantly thinking of new ideas and always putting out content that stands out and that you can always expect to get something new or interesting from me.How I got here professional is by working hard and making connections throughout the times I was on set or I really put in all the hours I needed and never really had goal I just kept going. It was not easy though and even at times I felt like giving up because of life or school or even a relationship but I still pushed through and it was essential for me to push through so that negative mind set goes away and I don’t have to think of the negatives but overall I just pushed through and worked hard. The lessons I learned along the way is to keep the faith and trust in what your heart believes in no matter what and that you do have a purpose no matter where you come from or who you are.I want the world to know that it’s okay to struggle and talking to someone is helpful in the end and to always push ! but I also want the world to know that I have so much on the way and to be on a lookout for me and my positive energy to the world.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Some of my favorite spots in my city is one being Rollem Up a restaurant in Chino hills and if I wanted to take them to have fun I would take them to the chino hills state park or I would take a drive to the shoppes !

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to shoutout the amazing people along the way such as my high school teachers Mr.Rolland and Mr. Mardian ! I would like to also say a thanks to everyone I have either met on set or in general good or bad because without them or the experience I would not be here today.

Thank you all for the support and love and the ones that have been patient!
