Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Lucas Dyer. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Lucas , you’ve got such an interesting story, but before we jump into that, let’s first talk about a topic near and dear to us – generosity. We think success, happiness and wellbeing depends on authentic generosity and empathy and so we’d love to hear about how you become such a generous person – where do you think your generosity comes from?
My generosity comes from how I was raised and the way I was treated growing up. I was raised by a single mother, and watching her kindness and strength had a deep impact on me. No matter what challenges she faced, she always carried herself with a smile and treated others with compassion. Seeing that, especially at a young age, made me want to be a better person. Her example taught me that even when life is difficult, you can still choose to be kind—and that lesson has stayed with me ever since.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I’m an actor and storyteller who’s passionate about bringing characters to life on stage and screen. While I currently work as a production planner at a motorcycle factory, my heart has always belonged to the world of performing arts. Acting allows me to explore the human experience, connect with others emotionally, and contribute to stories that move people — and that’s what excites me the most.
What’s special about this path for me is that it’s deeply personal. Coming from a background where I had to work hard to carve out opportunities, I’ve learned the value of persistence, humility, and growth. I’ve been fortunate to be part of a few films recently, including Cherry Pie and Mean Girls the Musical, and I’m always on the lookout for the next role or creative project that challenges me as an artist.
Right now, I’m focusing on building my presence in both theater and film. I’ve also started exploring voice acting and am excited about the possibilities it offers. Long-term, I hope to inspire others through meaningful roles and eventually create stories of my own that highlight underrepresented voices and real human experiences.
Whether it’s a small indie project or a major production, I show up with full dedication — and I’m grateful for every chance I get to grow in this field.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Resilience has been essential, especially in an industry like acting where rejection is common and opportunities can be unpredictable. I’ve learned not to let setbacks define me but instead to treat each experience as part of the process. For anyone starting out, I’d say: develop a thick skin, but keep your heart open. Stay committed even when things get tough — consistency builds character and opportunity.
Curiosity has kept me growing, both as a performer and as a person. Whether I’m diving into a new script, studying human behavior, or just observing life around me, I’m always learning. My advice: stay curious. Take classes, ask questions, study performances, and never stop exploring new perspectives — it’ll enrich your craft and deepen your understanding of the world.
Empathy is the foundation of great storytelling. It helps me connect with characters, with audiences, and with the people I work alongside. To develop empathy, start by listening — truly listening — to others’ stories and experiences. Acting isn’t just about performing; it’s about understanding people on a deeper level.
At the end of the day, growth in this field (or any field) doesn’t happen overnight. But if you can stay resilient, curious, and empathetic, you’ll not only grow as a professional — you’ll grow as a person.
As we end our chat, is there a book you can leave people with that’s been meaningful to you and your development?
One book that played an important role in my development is Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White. I first read it as a kid, and even though it’s a children’s story, it stuck with me in ways I didn’t fully understand until I got older. It was one of the first stories that made me feel something deep — sadness, hope, love — all at once. That emotional impact really opened my eyes to the power of storytelling, which I think planted a seed for my love of acting.
What resonated most with me was Charlotte’s quiet strength and selflessness. She didn’t have to help Wilbur, but she did anyway — with compassion, intelligence, and no desire for recognition. Watching how she changed Wilbur’s life reminded me that some of the most meaningful things we do are behind the scenes. That idea helped shape who I try to be in real life and as an artist: someone who lifts others up, even in small ways.
It also taught me that everyone has value, even when they feel overlooked or ordinary. Wilbur felt like no one special, but Charlotte saw something in him worth saving. That reminder — that we all matter — has stayed with me. It’s helped me approach roles with more empathy and look at people, both on stage and in real life, with more kindness and curiosity.
Looking back, I think Charlotte’s Web was one of the first stories that showed me how art can touch hearts and change people — and that’s exactly what I hope to do as an actor.
