Am I Wasting My Time? (AEA related question) by ReesesIsGross  •  last post Aug 14th

What kind of roles do you find most fulfilling? by Suzanne Bronson  •  last post Aug 14th

In an ideal world, we would only take those roles that fulfill us as actors. There's roles we take to pay the bills, and then there's roles we take because we love it. Did you know that Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman didn't get paid much for the last two seasons of  Sherlock? But they kept coming  back because it was fun and they loved it! What role is that for you? What roles do you find most fulfilling and why? Have you played a role where you took a pay cut for no pay just because you thought it would be fun for you as an actor? Let's hear it!

Cillian Murphy On His Character In TIFF-Bound ‘Steve’ & The Balance Of Telling Tough Stories That Entertain by Ashley Renee Smith  •  last post Aug 14th

If you’re an actor who gravitates toward character-driven work, this is an interview you’ll want to read.


In this new Q&A from Deadline, Cillian Murphy opens up about his upcoming indie drama Steve, a minimalist film that strips everything back to focus on the raw, emotional weight of a man in crisis.
Read the full interview here: https://deadline.com/2025/08/cillian-murphy-movie-steve-interview-1236484583/

Murphy talks about why he chose this project after Oppenheimer, how the script reminded him of early Ken Loach, and why silence and stillness can be just as powerful as dialogue. He also reflects on trusting the audience to lean in, even when a story unfolds quietly.

Have you ever taken on a role where you had to do more with less?
What’s a performance that stayed with you because of its subtlety or restraint?

Acting Learning Advice by Faisal Askari  •  last post Aug 13th

Hello everyone my name is Faisal Askari and I am hoping to work on a series pilot as a protagonist but I don't have any type of acting experience and I haven't learned acting too. In order to perform the role I am working to learn acting but along with this I have a lot of other things to do in the same Project. The reason why I am here is to ask you whether I should learn whole acting thing from start or just learn what's important for the character now and then expand my learning afterwards.


Now I am considering to learn only what this character requires because of a few reasons like my learning method is quite different like I learn things when I see someone doing it at advanced level or I learn by doing things instead of taking lessons. 


Another reason why I think my approach would be good and work because the character is both the most easiest character to portray and most difficult character to portray depending on the actor's experience. 

Let me tell you a bit about the traits of the character. He is a billionaire 21 years old man and is kind of over confident as hell. The character (Aryan) is a man with a lot of fame, money, political power and he is almost untouchable for most of the people which is why he is too arrogant. He doesn't show any type of emotions and mostly keeps his face blank (which is difficult to keep and that's why it is a difficult character but he also gives reactions mix of evil smiles or over confident expressions which is easy part). 



I am confident about keeping my face blank and the expression but the thing I am worried about is his accent and dialogue style. Even though he speaks less but still his every word says something much bigger so what do you guys say?

Worst note you've ever gotten? by Brandon Keeton  •  last post Aug 12th

Ok, you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about!  Lol!  What is the WORST note you've received while on set.  As they say on social media, "I'll go first!"


I had spent most of the week before a gig memorizing lines for one of those infomercials.  I knew they were going to have a teleprompter but I wanted to impress the production with memorizing everything they had sent me.  Eight pages, single spaced.

I get to set and LITERALLY right before the cameras roll, the Director lets me know that he has rewritten the entire script the night before without telling anyone, even his client.  

So, I'm basically doing a cold read on a teleprompter and he gives me the note to "just go for it!"  Excuse me?  Dude!? Just go for WHAT?

A few days later, after the check clears, he feels the need to reach out via email and tell me I'll never make it in this business if I can't be "more professional" and "take bigger risks" with my acting.  

So, you've heard mine, let me hear yours!
