Around 1998 a friend asked Jim Perez to help set up production tents in the Miami area. He told him that Harrison Ford Started as carpenter on the sets and that anything is possible in Hollywood. It wasn't long before Jim Perez was not just erecting tents, but was also in front of the camera. Unfortunately, a debilitating ailment postponed Jim Perez's career as an actor. On a more positive note, Jim Perez is back and so is his health, attitude and more important, he believes strongly that his understand of the Art of True Acting has grown substantially. As one of his teachers exclaimed, "When acting is no longer a burden but fun and play, you know you're moving in the right direction." For Jim Perez acting is just that, FUN!
