Canadian actor and comedian Will Sasso has made important contributions to the entertainment sector. He talked about how his path into comedy started out unexpectedly but ended up being immensely fulfilling in an interview.
Sasso's story begins when he was a computer programmer living in Montreal. His career as a comedian developed naturally; he had no intention of becoming one. He once went into a bar called The Rivoli while in Toronto and, on a whim, ended up doing stand-up comedy. Sasso quickly realized that he genuinely enjoyed giving live performances.
However, it was his entry into the Canadian film industry that truly signaled the start of his comedic career. In order to be near cameras and actors, he found himself taking on extra roles, small parts, and any other job that came up. Through observation and interaction with well-known comedians and actors, this exposure allowed him to hone his comedic abilities.
Sasso frequently discusses how he was able to hone his distinct comedic style by filming in different places across Canada. He seems to have discovered the ideal brush for the first time, enabling hues and forms to organically spill onto the canvas. Before everything finally fell into place, every new scene or set felt like a chance to try out various comedic approaches.
Sasso learned from this experience that sometimes discovering your true calling involves discovering a path where you feel at home rather than making a conscious decision. Though there were many trial-and-error moments along the way, his path from computer programming to stand-up comedy and finally to acting ultimately brought him to a profession he genuinely loves.
Sasso inspires others to pursue their passions, even if they initially appear unrelated or unlikely, by sharing his story. He demonstrates how, when you're receptive to new experiences, the best discoveries can occasionally come as a surprise.
