Hi. My name is Kris Kemp.
I'm an actor, writer, musician, photographer living in New York City. Currently, I'm living in Bushwick (area of Brooklyn), Brooklyn, New York, a 20-minute subway train ride away from Manhattan.
The Life of a BackGround Actor in New York City
For my day job, I am a BackGround (BG) actor aka "extra" for movies and TV shows. What is an extra? See the people in the background of that movie or TV show? (Neither do we. That means we're doing a good job.) Those are extras. Yes, we actually get paid to walk around in the background. We are the blur in the background, walking wardrobe, atmosphere, Bactors (Background actors), skins.
Me, playing a 1920's type, on a upcoming movie.
My job is really simple. Show up. Shut up. Be obedient.
Show up on set on time.
Shut up (be quiet) during the filming. Usually, we are pantomiming.
Be obedient. If the Production Assistant (PA) asks us to walk to the corner, wait 3 beats (3 seconds) then enter the store, we do it. We obey.

Why So Many Interests
I've traveled a lot of different paths in my life. At one point, I lived in a single-wide mobile home, that sat up on concrete blocks, on 9 acres (half of it underwater) about a mile from the Suwannee River. Then there was the time I lived in Burlington, Vermont, worked at a moving company with a bunch of angry, miserable guys. I write about that experience, using the memory of Jill, the edgy photographer, in the rails, my first novel. I spent 4 months backpacking across Europe (France and Germany) and I document this in How to Travel Europe for $1.50 a Day or Less. So many adventures, experiences, that I am going to share with you.
Writing ebooks
Typically, I learn about things that I'm interested in, take action in that direction, and document the experience. At the end of the day, I usually have an ebook, a journal, or a website as a result. So far, I've written 3 ebooks ...

Music projects
Years ago, I had a Christian music project to raise awareness of, and support for, the persecuted church. Around the same time, I started developing the script for, and composing songs for Dumpster Diver the musical.
Common Themes
Although I have a variety of interests, they share the common theme of freedom--time freedom, health freedom, financial freedom.
Time freedom: finding apps, websites and other technology tools that will enable me to be more time efficient.
Health freedom: incorporating simple tactics to eat well and feel better.
Financial freedom: working smarter, not harder. Developing creative projects such as ebooks in order to make money online.
