"Try your best to remain open to all opportunities. You never know who you might meet during the weirdest and oddest of jobs along the way and what you may learn. Through all that you do maintain your artistic integrity and protect your intellectual property.

Arrive early. Be consistent. Be someone the team can rely on. Be genuine.

There is no substitute for good ol' fashioned hard work and thus you must replenish yourself daily. Surround yourself with folks who work as hard as you do. Everyone is quick to judge you while you are on your journey—even 'friends.' Stay strong and true to you. Your voice is important and needed."

—Javier Muñoz (TISCH '99), actor and star in Hamilton on Broadway
