I had to do this scene where the girl pulls a gun out on me and I pull her close to me to take it away. Anyways she did this little moan thing when I pulled her close and let's just say my privates were standing straighter than a Baptist boy in Sunday morning church. Pretty sure everyone saw the Lion's Pride in my pant…

I will be attending the ARTS International showcase next year in Orlando, Fl. I’ve been reading different monologues to find which genre I fit in best. Are there any tips from you fellow actors/actresses that I could do for practice to better myself? Thank you all.

Long story short. Knew an actor/playwright friend coming up the ranks for past ten years. She's worked at acting, so have I, she decided to give it up become an agent and has been doing so for the last 3 years. Maybe it has to do with a fact she gained a lot of weight, maybe it doesn't. This year I booked a series co-s…

So, I'm on backstage, and there's this job that actually sounds like it was made for me! (Nervous guy, with a southern drawl) The only catch is: the only way to audition is to use an iOS app, and I have an android phone... I reached out to the people who listed the audition and they said that the android app is coming…

Recently I went to an agent "class", a.k.a., pay-to-meet-and-greet, and had a wonderful session in the room. The warmest I've had in such meet-ups. The agent loved my monologue and gave me great feedback. We really hit it off and spent much of our remaining time smiling and laughing as...

So yeah, I did not start acting when I was a kid, my parents never liked the idea and one of my teachers said I am at a disadvantage because agents care about teens or early 20s actors in order to develop them as they want.
