I recently learned that a movie I have a small, yet pivotal, role in just earned the Best Ensemble award at the Las Vegas Film Festival. I remember that on the day of filming, my Imposter Syndrome was out in full force. I was convinced that I sucked, that I was the worst actor in the cast, and I would be replaced. U…

Bruce Lee said, "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times".I am wondering, as it pertains to performing. Do you think it is necessary to know a lot of skills or maybe just a few or just one? I know there some instructors that will push for lear…

Before you ever step in front of a camera or into an audition room, the most important work you will do as an actor happens on the page. Analyzing a script for character development is the process of mining the text for everything the writer left — and sometimes deliberately withheld — about who your character is, what…

Anyone who even remotely knows me knows I am a Star Wars fan.

Just curious. What are some techniques you have tried that have worked for you for memorizing lines? I usually just do repetition until the lines stick in my head. Then I can add context and emotion to them.

There are many ways to go about finding a career in acting but first step would be to expose yourself to the real life of actors right from their initial struggling days to after they have become Super Stars.

Since 1946, the Cannes Film Festival has been one of the most consequential stages in an actor's career — not just for the films screened, but for the cultural visibility, critical conversation, and international recognition that no other festival delivers in quite the same way. The festival's earliest editions set the…

We've all got them: The roles we're dying (not literally, but who can turn down a good death scene?) to play.

When it comes to booking acting work, what has been a tactic that has worked best for you? Are there any other ones than these three that you have done? I know for me it has been a combination of the three over the years. But Auditioning seems to be the one that works best for me.

Every actor who has built a lasting career has one thing in common — they kept showing up after the moments that would have made most people stop. Not just the rejections, though there were plenty of those. The callbacks that went nowhere. The roles that went to someone else. The seasons where the auditions dried up en…

Since I got into acting after college and started auditioning, over 35 years ago, my strategy was to avoid the monolgue books and seek out material that I could be pretty sure no one else was going to bring to an audition.
