Seeing active series regulars at commercial auditions

Probably an unpopular opinion, but it chaps my ass. It does. And I know that celebs take away VO work and commercial work and well, lotsa work. I’m just talking about “unknown” successful actors on broadcast TV being at a working class actor commercial...

Victory moment/good directing moment I wanted to share

I haven't taken an acting class in five years and I've been really missing it while doing show after show. I'm opening a show in two days (oh my!) and I've been REALLY struggling with a character whose tendencies are way outside of my range and experience...

I saw “All of us are dead” on netflix, I really enjoyed it. Along with other movies and shows, what do you think makes an actor great. Can you tell when an actor is relaxed?
