Hey actors! We are halfway through the summer, and I feel like I am in the summer slump. Here in Phoenix, Arizona, there is a heat warning. It has been too hot to go outside for months and will be many more months. Half the world is in the middle of winter, and some of you may have the winter blues. When things get qui…

I'm 21 and currently studying law. My plan, at least on paper, is to become a media/entertainment lawyer.

As the title says, I’m just curious if I’m crazy or if it is a red flag? They post their other actors bookings and didn’t post my recent commercial booking.

I shot a co star today, and basically… I sucked. I know, you might think “I doubt you sucked!” But truly I don’t know what happened to me.

Comedic acting is my favorite thing to do. I would say I excel at it. Improv is another story - I freeze up and I don't know what to say.

The character you play existed long before their first line of dialogue — and the actors who understand that life are the ones who walk into every scene with something extra. As Viola Davis puts it, "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are. But as an actor, the job is to figure out who they were befo…
