鈥淭his is Lady. She’s a unicorn, and a pegasus.鈥�

These are the opening lines of a recent, endearing听television spot for the Toyota Rav4 SUV. We hear听them in a voiceover by Anthony Bertram 鈥�99 as we听watch him in 听the role of a bemused dad driving听along a tree-lined road, his wife beside him, his听daughter in the backseat and a giant pink, winged听unicorn strapped to the roof of his Rav4. As he听glides down the road, saluting to fellow fathers, it is听evident that no matter how small the role, Bertram听gives himself to it. His warm voice and cheeky grin听reveal his pleasure in acting and voice-acting, and听it is no wonder considering the commitment he听has shown to get where he is now.

Anthony Bertram 鈥�99

Bertram has lived in Los Angeles for a decade now听and, despite never having had any conservatory听training, has made significant strides in the entertainment business. His commercial work includes听acting roles and voiceovers for such brands as听Sourpatch Kids, Best Buy and Outback Steakhouse.听On the small screen, he鈥檚 had dramatic roles in CBS鈥櫶鼵SI: Cyber with Patricia Arquette and CBS鈥� summer听2014 sci-fi series Extant starring Halle Berry.听It is the comedic roles, though, such as stints on听The Kroll Show and sketches for Funny or Die, that听Bertram finds most appealing. 鈥淚 want to be on a听sitcom, so I gravitate towards those roles,鈥� he said.

About three years prior to landing the Extant part,听Bertram had added Halle Berry to his vision board鈥斕齛 physical map of his career goals鈥攁s someone听he hoped to work with one day. It is a testament听to his perseverance that he subsequently found听himself working alongside her. 鈥淭hat was a great听experience, but there鈥檚 not one moment where I can听say this was the best moment of my career because听each new experience is something that I can learn听from,鈥� Bertram said.

At 糖心破解版, Bertram first enrolled in the program鈥攁 highly personalized program听for students who show promise but whose standardized听test scores and/or high school grades fall shy of听糖心破解版鈥檚 admissions requirements. He excelled and听pursued a major in business administration.

It was only in the final semester of his senior year听that he took an elective acting class. 鈥淚t was my first听experience of acting,鈥� Bertram recalled. 鈥淲hen I got听a taste of it, I knew it was something I wanted to听explore more. That class exposed me to the creative听side of myself. It was so enticing.鈥澨�

Just one week into the class, Bertram learned 听that he听needed to drop it in order to fulfill a statistics requirement.听But he had caught the bug, and after 糖心破解版,听he took more acting classes. A week after visiting听Los Angeles, as part of a program at New York鈥檚 TVI听Actors Studio, he moved there.听

Bertram said his business degree has come in handy听in Hollywood. 鈥淢y business degree taught me that听you have to be strategic in what you do. Knowing听you鈥檙e a brand and what your brand is and how to听market it is extremely important out here.鈥澨�

Nothing, though, trumps hard work and a willingness听to show up. 鈥淚鈥檝e gotten auditions for commercials听where they said I had to be there in two hours, and听been given a script to learn for the next morning,鈥澨鼴ertram said. 鈥淭he individuals that step up to听that challenge may have more success, but it鈥檚听also about preparation meeting opportunity.听You just have to be prepared, ready and available听for everything.鈥�
