Guys, is improv a cult?

Firstly, I like improv a lot. I just feel like I might have Stockholm Syndrome... For background-- I graduated from film school about 1 1/2 years ago w/a screenwriting BA and just wrapped up a studio gig where I realized working behind a desk is not the part...

Harvard and riches, or acting?

I thought this was pretty important when I read it, so I’m posting it. It’s from an article/interview with Larry Moss from backstage. What are your thoughts

BSW: Do you believe anybody can be taught to act? Moss: The basics, sure. But I find that most people who go to acting class don't love acting. They love attention. There comes a point in your development as an actor when you find out whether you have the...

Acting with Tourettes

I'm a stage actor, and I've been told lots of times that I have a very honest, expressive face. But my big hurdle is that I have Tourettes Syndrome. I've gotten pretty good at repressing my tics while I'm onstage or figuring out a way to work them into my...

The cost of living & pursuing acting in NYC & LA simply does NOT equate. It’s all fucking stacked agains you and I’m drowning no matter what I do.

I’ve been trying this for going on 4 years now, having tried both cities. Each year I make less and less waiting tables and bartending. Now it seems like every job is 25,000 a year MAX. Please, tell me how you survive in NYC or LA on 25,000 a year. Show me...

How do I limit getting type-cast as a child actor who's 6 feet tall?

I'm 16 and beginning my trek into the world of acting. My biggest worry, that has already partially been confirmed, is that I'll be type-cast. I'm fairly thin and just over 6 feet tall, and my worry is that I'll get cast based purely on my height. Many child...

I love to act, rehearsing lines, and research.

My career as an actor started about ten years ago - for my mother's business. She was a great director and we brought in around 500-2500 people, depending in the theatre. As an eight year old boy, you'd expect me to be nervous in front of these people...

Can you still respect an Actor if they are a Horrible person?
