Send us a text In this episode of The VIP Voice, I sit down with the incredibly talented Oscar Torre—an actor and director whose career spans major productions like The Hangover Part III, The Haves and the Have Nots, Gaslit, and his directorial works Just a Man and a Woman and his latest creation, A Summer Night Movie. From Accidental Actor to Acclaimed Talent Oscar’s journey into acting wasn’t planned—it was a twist of fate. What started as a last-minute elective course turned into a lifelong passion. He candidly shares how, in the beginning, he was nervous and, by his own admission, “pretty awful.” But through dedication and a deep commitment to authenticity, he transformed into a powerhouse performer. The Art of Fully Becoming the Character For Oscar, acting is about total immersion. When the director calls “action,” he believes in immediate transformation—embracing the role with unwavering commitment. He also shares a key piece of wisdom: No matter your role, always act like the lead. He reflects on his experience in The Hangover Part III, where despite working alongside A-list stars like Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis, he remained focused on owning his presence on screen rather than getting caught up in starstruck moments. Stepping into Directing & Owning the Vision Unlike most first-time directors who start with short films, Oscar dove straight into a feature. Initially searching for a director, he eventually realized that no one understood the script's vision better than him—so he took the helm. This decision not only shaped the success of his films but also gave him a newfound respect for directing, teaching him how a director’s leadership sets the tone for a production—either fostering peace or creating chaos. Building Strong Relationships in Film Oscar emphasizes the critical importance of relationships on set, particularly between the director and director of photography—a dynamic that can make or break a production. He shares how overcoming challenges, including nearly losing his mother during filming, shaped his perspective on resilience in the industry. The Surprising Connection Between COVID & OnlyFans One of the most unexpected turns in our conversation? How the pandemic sparked a surge in OnlyFans content—giving people a new way to connect and financially sustain themselves. This trend became the foundation for his latest project, A Summer Night Movie, which was conceptualized during the production of Just a Man and a Woman.  Golden Advice for Aspiring Filmmakers Oscar leaves us with a powerful takeaway: You don’t need to have it all figured out—just take action. Surround yourself with people who understand the craft, continuously refine your skills, and never wait for opportunities to be handed to you. True professionals stand out by their ability to repeat excellence—even after 15 takes. This episode is a must-listen for actors, directors, and creatives looking to break barriers in the entertainment industry!
