I actually meant to post this insightful article from David Thomson and the Wall Street Journal a few weeks ago. I’m not sure I agree with everything he says but it’s an interesting look into how life and our perception of it shifts how actors actually present their work. Art reflects or interprets life and [...]

I’m gonna file this one under great performances. Awkward is always funny. And these two are classics, thanks Andy. BTW, this is way before the term “Epic Fail”. Andy Kaufman performs Mighty Mouse – watch more funny videos Andy Kaufman Elvis Impresion – watch more funny videos

Good acting doesn’t always have to be that serious. When I was performing in Julius Caesar I had one brief scene alone with Denzel Washington. This was just before the “tent scene” between Brutus (Denzel) and Cassius. I was Cassius’ attendant, Pindarus and came in before him “to do salutations from him“. Got [...]

Um, so Wolverine and 007 walk into a bar, right… Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Yesterday, the internets were buzzing about Hugh Jackman (starring in a Broadway production of “A Steady Rain” with Daniel Craig) giving a theatergoer the business after their cell phone went off mid-show.

This is actor Andre Royo and this is his nightmare. It takes some time to develop but it’s funny… take a look. Oh and remind me to tell you one day about MY first professional acting job on a soap. Exactly like this. But not so funny. Thanks Tambay for posting.
