My actor-friend believes that the age displayed on his IMDb page is severely limiting the roles he gets and wishes to remove it.

Filming emotional scenes

I know with comedy, usually each scene is performed multiple times, of course depending on time and other external factors. Sometimes multiple takes are used for opportunities to improvise. But when it comes to very heavy scenes in dramas, are those typically...

The new Actor’s Access layout is crap.

I can’t filter by region on my phone when I’m web browser. The app doesn’t filter by region. What are the developers thinking? It was fine before!

I’ve always had this thought in my head...Why can British and Australian actors do American accents better than Americans can do American accents???
