NYFA BFA Acting for Film Student Rosario Amico has had the unique opportunity to work on set of A Good Cop while also completing his BFA at New York Film Academy.
Rosario spoke with NYFA on the art of balancing his work and his studies, mental health and booking without an agent!
New York Film Academy (NYFA): First, can you tell us a bit about yourself, where you’re from? A memory that you’d like to share?
Rosario Amico (RA): Hello! I am from Garden City Long Island, NY – grew up there my whole life. I am 22 years of age and I got bit by the acting bug at 15 and I haven’t stopped since. A memory that comes to mind, since this is an interview about me and acting, I thought it would be appropriate to recall the moment in time I decided to quit conventional college for the third time studying business management to pursue my dream of being an actor full time.
NYFA: What brought you to the New York Film Academy?
RA: I started performing on the stage in musical theater productions in highschool and I did regional shows for about two years after graduating high school. Until one day I literally decided I wanted to do something different. I wanted to make my transition to film and TV. None of my theater contacts had any knowledge of that field. I knew I needed to take it upon myself to find a school where I could get the education required to succeed in film and TV. I had a friend from high school who went to NYFA right after graduating. So I reached out to her, visited the school and here I am! I loved the hands-on approach.
