I am one of “those” actors who thinks that training unleashes talent. Training allows the artist to go deeper. It can teach the actor new things about themselves. It’s what happens between acting jobs. Well, let’s be honest, it happens on the...

I had a fantastic callback audition for Deadline yesterday. As I mentioned on my FB Fan Page, the audition was a complete success because 1. I arrived early and 2. I did it! A few other things helped, of course: I “knew” the role, I was off book, and I...
