About
Actors Channel TV is a production of the Hang On To The Dream Foundation
and was created by Emmy Award winning TV Host/Actor/ Executive Producer Christopher Ewing
as a way to help support and recognize the outstanding achievements of up & coming
actors and actresses from around the world. Mr. Ewing is a long time supporter of the arts
and is the president and founder of the Hang On To The Dream Foundation,
as well as the Indie Music Channel and the Indie Music Hall Of Fame.
"I created 'Actors Channel TV' because I have always felt that there needed to be more support for up & coming actors and actresses" says Christopher. "There are so many incredibly talented people out here who aren't getting enough recognition for their talent, either on radio or TV, just because they aren't on a big TV show or movie, or because they haven't gotten their big break yet. I just feel that, whether an actor or actress is on a show or in a movie, or not, they are still talented and deserve to be heard or seen until their big break comes along. 'Actors Channel TV', is a television channel on Roku and Amazon Fire TV dedicated to broadcasting their reels and any shows they may have created themselves, thereby, helping them promote their talents around the world."
