The entertainment industry isn't feeling very entertaining to Devon Werkheiser these days.
On Tuesday, July 28, the Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide star shared a carousel on Instagram that began as a series of Stories, opening up about the frustrations he's faced navigating today's entertainment industry.
"I'm losing it. Losing faith. Losing belief," one slide read. "Losing my mind," the post began.
Werkheiser, now 35, went on to compare today's self-taped audition process with the days when actors regularly auditioned in person. "When we used to audition in person, it didn't feel so bad," he wrote. "Even when I didn't book, I knew if I was getting callbacks or not. I knew if my work was landing."

Or going backwards. Or just standing in my room, pretending I'm a part of something. It's starting to genuinely freak me out," he continued.
Werkheiser also pushed back on the common advice actors often receive. "'Make your own stuff!' I am. 'Work with people you know!' I am. 'Do social media!' I have," he wrote. "But nothing has moved the needle in a very long time."
Several actors responded with words of encouragement, including his former Ned's Declassified co-star Daniel Curtis Lee, who provided some comic relief.
“Ever since my doctor prescribed me a daily dose of phuqemol, the pain is at least manageable. ? But seriously the actor’s journey is a wild ride. I feel you,” he said.
Former Disney Channel star Jake Thomas also chimed in, writing, “I just keep goin. Idk. Maybe social media is the stop gap. But I’ve also been doing behind the camera stuff for a long while now, and that keeps me from going crazy.”
Big Time Rush actor Kendall Schmidtreplied, in part, “This is a very real and valid concern/take. Those of us who have been acting since we were kids are well aware of how much it has changed.”
Werkheiser starred as Ned Bigby on Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, which aired on Nickelodeon from 2004 to 2007. The comedy followed Ned and his friends, Moze (Lindsey Shaw), and Cookie (Lee), as they navigated middle school while sharing humorous "survival guide" tips for everything from homework and bullies to first crushes.
Werkheiser has continued acting while co-hosting the Ned's Declassified Podcast Survival Guide alongside Shaw and Lee, where he regularly reconnects with former castmates.
