Today we’d like to introduce you to Cole Wells.
Hi Cole, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I got my first acting job at two years old. I was in a music video and that opened me up to the world of acting. From there, I started doing shorts, festival films, commercials, and modeling. When I was 10, I stopped screen acting and moved to theatre. I performed in plays and musicals all throughout junior high and high school.
At 15, I decided I wanted to start doing film again so I’ve been rebuilding my network and filling in my resume. I’ve also started working as a makeup artist for modeling agencies and editorial shoots. I am an avid music fan and have released original music as well as multiple covers with music videos.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Definitely not a smooth road. I moved to Texas during high school and there were not many acting opportunities in the area. Social media has also made a huge impact in the development of the industry during the last few years so coming back, I’ve had to make a lot of adjustments.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am a creative who leans towards out of the box and unusual skill sets. I am known for my special skills, which include martial arts, circus arts, and accents. As a makeup artist, I’ve created two original photo series where I played photographer, makeup artist, creative director, and location scout. I’m a renaissance woman who prides herself on being able to switch roles at the drop of a hat.
What are your plans for the future?
My plan/biggest dream is to move into the UK market. I would love to be able to split my time between England and America, both as an actor and producer. My mom and I launched a production company a few years ago and I plan on making projects that emphasize quality and highlight new faces.
