New actress in USA by Kawtar Mendouhi  •  last post Aug 1st

hi I'm from Morocco

Let's talk inspiriation! by Suzanne Bronson  •  last post Jul 31st

Who are some actors who have inspired you? Is there a particular actor who continues to blow you away with their performances? Who you would love to work with and would fanboy/girl out on? For me, it's Nicole Kidman. I have admired her career and the different kinds of roles she plays. I like to think, "I can do that." When I was a child, I would say I was really inspired by Anthony Hopkins and Val Kilmer. To this day, LEGENDS OF THE FALL and TOMBSTONE are in my TOP 10.

Variety Actors on Actors: Adam Scott and Kristen Bell by Ashley Renee Smith  •  last post Jul 31st

Ever wonder what happens when two longtime friends and seasoned performers sit down for a candid conversation about their craft?


In this Variety Actors on Actors interview, Adam Scott and Kristen Bell dive into the creative process behind their latest projects, Severance and Nobody Wants This. The conversation is refreshingly honest and full of mutual respect, from Bell’s questions about the psychological tension of Severance to Scott’s praise for the authentic chemistry between Bell and Adam Brody.

They also touch on what it means to work with friends, how their careers have evolved, and how they find joy in the in-between moments, on and off set.

Watch the full conversation here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sgOicK_ix1E&pp=ygUHVmFyaWV0edIHCQnHCQGHKiGM7w%3D%3D

What stood out to you most from this exchange? Have you ever worked with someone you had a personal connection with, and how did it impact your performance?

Hello all, I thought I'd share this excellent workshop I discovered many years ago from the legendary Michael Caine!

Just a cheeky question by Matthew Nunn  •  last post Jul 29th

So I'm from a pretty small town where there's really no filmmaking opportunities other than the ones me and my team create, I just thought I'd shoot up a question about how I can work and grow as an actor while not receiving jobs, so that when I am going for work I can still make a very compelling case. Cheers

Is acting just Passion or Profession? The Truth About an Actor´s Life. #actress #stage32 Nicolà MelissiAn 10.6K subscribers Analytics Edit video Remi by Nicolá MelissiAn  •  last post Jul 29th

https://youtu.be/hfdnyAcQYi8?si=ylBtPyvctB7J8hlY

As a proud Stage 32 Ambassador for Germany and the Dominican Republic, I am excited to share my thoughts on a question that so many actors face: Is acting just a passion, or is it truly a profession? For many, the journey begins with love for the craft — the thrill of stepping into a character and telling stories that move people. But behind the passion lies the discipline, persistence, and professionalism required to build a sustainable career. Acting is more than dreams and talent; it is also about constant learning, networking, and embracing the business side of the industry. I believe that true success comes when passion and professionalism walk hand in hand, and through Stage 32, I am grateful to connect with creatives around the world who share this vision.


Bend It Like Beckham Sequel In The Making by Alexandra Stevens  •  last post Jul 29th

Posting about something very British here. Gurinder Chadha writer/director is working on the sequel script to Bend It Like Beckham which was a smash hit back in 2002.  See article here https://deadline.com/2025/07/bend-it-like-beckham-sequel-gurinder-chadha-1236469339/


This news came just  before the British women's football team, The Lionesses won  the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025  2 days ago. Chadha only decided to write a sequel when she felt a strong pull to do so due to a great plot idea. She is trying to create great character arcs to entice the original actresses (Keira Knightley and Parminder Nagra) back again.
Actors, would you have liked to play in the original film and why or why not?
Had you done so, would you interested in playing in the sequel of a film you did 23 years ago? If so, what themes would you like to see it explored this team?

FUN Auditioning! by Brandon Keeton  •  last post Jul 28th

Like a bullet fired down range, most of the time, I turn in a self tape submission and then forget about it. You can't get it back, so why worry about it?

But every now and then, like today, I get one that I have an absolute BALL doing and wish there was more to be done. I just auditioned for a well known car company and it was one of the most fun auditions I've had in a while.

It was comedy based and I'm usually not a comedic actor. 80% of my resume is dramatic cops, dads and teachers.

But this time around, I really had fun with it.

That being said, I'd love to hear about YOUR auditions that you just had fun doing, whether you got the part or not! I look forward to what you have! Have a GREAT day!

Upcoming Webinar! How to Find Representation As a Multi-Hyphenate Actor by Sydney S  •  last post Jul 28th

In today’s entertainment landscape, being a multi-hyphenate is no longer the exception — it’s becoming the norm. Actor-writers are uniquely positioned to tell personal, compelling stories, and their dual skillset is in high demand across indie and studio spaces. But while opportunities are growing, many multi-hyphenates struggle to package and present themselves effectively to representation. This webinar exists to close that gap — to demystify the representation process, teach creatives how to professionally market themselves, and provide practical tools for getting noticed. Whether you’re writing vehicles for yourself, developing an indie pilot, or crafting shorts to showcase your range, learning how to navigate the industry as both an actor and a writer is essential to building a sustainable creative career.

Overwhelming Schedule by Oracle Laura  •  last post Jul 27th

After predicting in 2011 Ozzy Osbourne's 2019 Parkinson's Disease diagnosis & 2 days before he died I predicted the exact date he would die, I've become busier than ever. But I finally got around to creating a new blog. It only took me a few years to fit it into my increasingly very busy schedule. LOL. I was wise by choosing a quiet summer Sunday. What ways do you manage your busy schedule?

When It Just Clicks by Brandon Keeton  •  last post Jul 25th

  Have you ever had a performance in a film that just clicked?  Like, you were so in tune with the character and what they were doing in that scene, that you could practically do no wrong?  This week, I'm not coming to you as an Actor, I'm coming to you as a Director.

  I got to direct a passion project last week that has been 40 years in the making.  Feel free to check out the first in a series of monthly, real time, blogs I'm doing on it here: https://www.stage32.com/blog/a-story-about-stories-the-making-of-a-passion-project-short-film-4135  The second in the series will follow next week.
  Anyway, I am just really proud of my Actors on this one.  Sure, they had nine months to delve into the character and the music that inspired them (every scene is a song from Genesis).  Sure, they had great costumes done by a true pro of the craft.  Sure, we were filming in a location (a museum) that inspired spookiness and of course an incredible DP (director of the Best Indie film of the year for 2023, Turbo Cola) and Gaffer who seemed to speak a second language when it came to lighting.
  But when the ACTING is on point, everything else, all the work of the other departments, is heightened.    So, what is your experience in this?  Have you had a character you wished you could play over and over because everything else just fell in to place?  A couple of the Actors on our shoot indicated that they can't wait for the feature.  But that, as they say, is a story for another time.  

What are your strengths as an actor? by Suzanne Bronson  •  last post Jul 24th

It's time to humble brag. Would love to hear from those who are working actors as well. What are your strengths as an actor? Are you good at improv? Comedic or dramatic? 


I think I am better at dramatic scenes then comedic ones. My strength as an actor is being able to stay connected to my partner(s) and stay in the scene. My emotions are real and I feel them deeply. 

AI Taking Over Casting Director Jobs? by Matthew Gross  •  last post Jul 22nd

Yes, it is true. I just spoke with a casting company in Arizona. They turned their operations over to an AI. The head casting director lets an AI do all the work. He provides the AI with what a production is looking for, and then the AI searches the casting director's database and gives him a list of talent to contact. I never considered that this could, or would happen. This could revolutionize extras casting, but I think it will be more challenging for an AI to cast principal actors.
