There are few similarities between soccer and acting, Tristian Eggerling says. And he should know since he’s both a forward with OC Sporting White in the fourth-tier United Premier Soccer League Division 1 and an actor whose credits include TV’s “Modern Family” and the big-screen slasher “Halloween Kills.”
“They are polar opposite,” he said. “One of them is very much about having a mental will to push yourself and push through pain and just have kind of a stubbornness to you.”
That would be soccer.
“The other one is much more about getting into a feel of empathy and really getting in tune with your emotions,” he adds.
