NEW YEAR- NEW YOU- WHAT'S IN A NAME?

As I believe I may have noted in the last posting, after a five year stint of being "Anderson Reid" professionally, I am returning to just simply being "ME." The version of me that I have always been- "Reid Gormly." I don't for a second regret going by Anderson in my acting world for the last five years because I realize now that it was part of my journey that I needed to work through and discover that as an actor, the best I can do is just be myself, and not an idea of what I need to be to be successful. The most successful actors don't necessarily make a million dollars, although let's be honest- that would be amazing, but rather, they are the ones that are to put it simply, honest in their work.

By making this return to Reid, I must say that there is something truly freeing a

bout not trying to uphold the regal demeanor of ANDERSON. I am

eternally grateful to my parents for being so meticulous while naming me and for endowing me with such a rich family name in ANDERSON. It is a name to be proud of and one that

I do cherish and for the last five years, it has lea

d me on a journey of self-exploration and digging through all that I am. There have been highlights, as well as lowlights during the arc of this time, and as I move into a chapter of my life in which I am overwhelming content with who I am as a person, as an actor, and most importa

ntly, in Christ, I felt it time to close the chapter of my life that from here on out will be known as THE ANDERSON CHRONICLES.

So together, we step onto Hollywood Boulevard and back into the casting offices full of life, personality, humor, drama, emotion, love, style, and a renewed swagger as the one, the only, REID.
