Yeah, we've all heard it. "Can you work as a local?" In other words, we're not paying for any of your housing or gas etc. I am in the fortunate situation that I have family and friends I'm close enough to stay with, in every major market except, for some reason, Chicago. The majority of my acting work has been in N…

I’ve recently been cast as a replacement in a play (I'm in 2 plays at the moment, one my own, and one... this). The rest of the cast and crew are Brazilian, and they’ve already been rehearsing for about two months.

Hey everyone! There is something that I do once a year. It's usually like clockwork around Christmas vacation but I decided to knock it out a little early this year and share it with you as well.

Actors- have you ever had to learn an accent for a role? If so, how did you learn it? I once had to learn a German accent for THE BEAMS ARE CREAKING. This was last century, so I had a cassette with a person teaching German accent, that I would listen to in my car during my commute.

In an ideal world, we would only take those roles that fulfill us as actors. There's roles we take to pay the bills, and then there's roles we take because we love it.
