ABOUT ME
JOCK MACDONALD
Actor. Writer. Director. Consultant. Coach.
With more than 50 years of professional experience across the United States, Canada, and Europe, Jock MacDonald has built a career that spans stage, film, television, directing, and writing — and he has never stopped doing any of it.
Acting For Film has been a successful corporation since 2000 — providing private coaching, consulting, and intensive workshops to actors, directors, and writers across North America and Europe.
He is currently consulting on active productions for Prime Video, Hulu, and Sky. Directors and actors he works with are appearing on major streaming platforms worldwide. Directors he coaches return to work with him before every new project.
His coaching is built on one premise: the work either happens or it doesn't. His job is to create the conditions where it does.
He has led intensive workshops in Paris, Dublin, Montreal, Toronto, Boston, Los Angeles, and New York — bringing the same work to actors and directors across North America and Europe.
