The Actor's Lab 4414 West 2nd Street, Los Angeles, CA 90004

"Jointing the Actor’s Lab has been an incredible experience and the best decision I’ve made for my career. Both JD Lewis and Theo Devaney are very well trained and experienced in the industry. Studying at the lab has helped me develop a clear vision of what I want in my acting career and has challenged me to be the best artist I can be. I strongly recommend the lab to anyone looking to take the next step in their acting journey."

"I began taking private coaching at The Actor’s Lab with JD Lewis back in 2013. Shortly after I started working with JD I lost my right leg below the knee in a serious motorcycle accident. I reached out to JD a couple of weeks after my accident to tell him why I had missed a couple of my session, and that I would need to take a little time off as I recovered. I also asked him if he thought I could still successfully pursue acting as an amputee; to which, he assured me I could. So I did. Two months later I was back at The Actor’s Lab studying with JD. After nearly a year of private study JD highly recommended that I study in the intermediate class with other actors; which I did. During my year and a half in the intermediate class I learned, not only a great deal about acting, but also about the business of acting. It was also during this period that I signed with my agent; whom I still have to this day. I went on to study in The Actor’s Lab Master Class under JD and later Pat Dortch, which was an amazing experience! I would spend the next two and a half years studying with several incredibly talented, working actors—many of which, I still consider friends to this day. These incredible individuals inspired me, pushed me, and shaped me into the actor that I am today, and I love seeing all they’ve accomplished since. That said, while studying at The Actor’s Lab, and since, I’ve guest starred on several projects, such as, AMC’s The Walking Dead, NBC’s The Village, CBS’s NCIS: New Orleans, and CBS’s FBI. If you’re interested in becoming an actor, or you’re already an actor and you’re serious about developing your craft, and learning the business of acting, I highly recommend The Actor’s Lab."

"The Actor’s Lab has been instrumental in my growth as an actor and I am forever grateful to the space and community. It’s a small class size and we are encouraged to create our own work and hold each other accountable in our career goals. The Lab will aid you in forming a business plan based on your castability and they also guide you through networking in the business. With the level of attention I get and the industry guests that come to speak, I feel like I’m getting a lot of useful knowledge to truly advance in my acting career!"

"If you want to become a better actor, improve your business and marketing skills, make huge leaps in your work and work ethic, and be surrounded with like-minded and encouraging artists... then The Actor's Lab is your new home. JD Lewis is an amazing coach and one of the best motivators I've ever met. He has created an incredible space for actors to expand in all areas and book work! Highly recommend for anyone from novice to working actor."

"As a former student at The Actor’s Lab, I can highly recommend it. It's some of the best training I've ever received. I feel more confident and equipped as an actor after working with J.D. Lewis. He is insightful and encouraging, always looking to build positively on one's own choices. Plus, he's got a great sense of humor! A wonderful place to study."
