IMDbPro caught up with Taylor Black to hear the best advice from her mentors, what she's learned from co-owning her own production company, and more!3 of 6
IMDbPro: Do you have any mentors? How did you meet them and what have they taught you?
Taylor Black: Acting coach Anthony Abeson has been a huge mentor to me, as he really helped me hone my acting technique. I constantly hear his words in my head and it's really comforting. He always pushed me out of my comfort zone in his classes, and helped me to understand that stepping out of your comfort zone is a great way to surprise yourself, to grow, and to let go of fear. He taught me not to limit myself to typecast and to always understand the power of surprising someone with a grounded, yet unexpected acting choice.
