Artists need to take care of each other and this is a very cool move by Jeff Goldblum. He can only help so many by doing this but the optics are awesome and it makes me like him even more (and I've always been a fan - his performance in THE FLY is legendary). https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/jeff-goldblum-a…

Is it worth it? That’s a question you’ll want to ask yourself and your agent. If you have an offer for weekly scale but you have to be a local hire in another state, the cost of airfare, accommodations & rental car/Uber will have you barely come out even (taxes & agency fees are other contributing factors). At the end…

Dominic Sessa would be amazing in this role. Is there anyone else you can think of that could play Bordain? Or any other non-scripted TV stars worthy of a biopic? https://deadline.com/2024/08/a24-anthony-bourdain-biopic-dominic-sessa-1236038429/

In 2024, every actor needs a website. Not having one would be akin to 20 years ago not having a headshot. It can be tricky to decide what to include on your website. Personally, I have built countless actor websites, so I thought I would offer some tips for you. This is in no way an exhaustive list, but instead, a grea…

Tom Cruise closing out the Olympic games last night and setting the table for Los Angeles '28 was super cool!

- Using lines as an excuse - “When I know the lines I’ll be able to perform the scene better” - this is an excuse to cover up many things, mainly inhibitions, the fear of trying something or not knowing what to do because you haven’t read the scene/script enough. As Lee Strasberg (The Method guru) once said, learning l…

1. Go pro. Spend money—it’s worth it. Go to a professional who is trained, understands lighting, and takes headshots for a living, not some friend who happens to have a decent camera who “sorta knows a little about photography.” 2. Opt for personality over glamour. Make sure it looks like you. Chill with the airbrushin…

“It used to be that changing an overly ethnic or difficult-to-pronounce name was virtually essential for Hollywood success. Now, in a way, the reverse is true.
