This much I know: Lochlann O’Mearain, actor

As an actor, I believe your biggest enemy is yourself.

The challenge is to keep mental clarity and focus when times are bad, as well as good.

There were 12 people in my drama class in Trinity College and only three are still making a living from acting — a modest living. When the phone call goes and you get a job — you are ecstatic. But, if you don’t get an audition you tend to question yourself and your direction. Knowing your objectives clearly and writing them down certainly helps.
