    Are actors messed up ?

    I always wondered, are a lot of actors seriously traumatized people, that try desperately to keep normal in real life and let all the pain loose during acting. ​ Take Bryce Dallas Howard for example. ​ She can cry on queue and laugh hysterically...

    How Helpful is it to Read Actor Biography's?

    I read articles regarding acting and whatnot, but very recently I was very strongly advised to read actor biographies in order to "help me learn how to get work". This recommendation came from someone who is fairly outside the industry. I don't want to be...

    Workshop or Class for Working Actors NYC

    Any recommendations? I’m looking for a place to sharpen skills in between projects. No crazy “my method is the only method” places or cult like workshops. Just honest acting work with professionals who’ve already got experience and skill.

    Do all actors start off in theater?

    I’m very interested in acting but I’ve never liked the idea of performing live on stage. I know it’s great experience and all but it’s just not my forte. Is this a deal breaker?

    Let’s talk TEETH!!!

    As I assume a large amount of actors are, I’ve always been concerned that my smile is hurting me more than helping me as an actor. I was wondering what everyone’s experience with getting cosmetic work done to your teeth has been like. What work have you...
