What happens when you walk away from a successful 30-year corporate career and decide to chase a dream you never thought was possible?

On this episode of Next Act with Jeff Ornstein, Jeff sits down with Mike Enright, a SAG-AFTRA actor who proves that it is never too late to reinvent yourself. After decades working in IT sales, PR, communications, radio, and television, Mike discovered acting later in life and took a leap into film and television.

He opens up about overcoming fear, handling rejection, finding confidence, and embracing the challenges that come with starting over. 

Together, Jeff and Mike explore what it means to pursue a passion later in life, why background acting can be a valuable stepping stone, the importance of learning the craft, and how every experience from your past can prepare you for your next chapter.

Mike’s message is simple: it’s never too late to take a chance on yourself.
