Just Traw a Rock for a.. for a Psychologic Horror idea by KiWilliam 13031996 • last post Aug 25th
"A pragmatic farmer dismisses a bat bite, only to descend into a terrifying maelstrom of paranoia and rage when a visiting doctor identifies the early signs of rabies. Forced to confront a diagnosis that is a death sentence, he becomes the subject of an intimate and harrowing human drama. This is a psychological horror that charts one man's devastating descent into madness; a character study on fear, loss of control, and mortality.

Phoning it in... by Brandon Keeton • last post Aug 23rd
Ugh! I'm telling on myself again. There was an audition I did a while back where I just phoned it in. I wasn't really interested in the material and I didn't mind letting it show. I even went so far as to audition in my underwear. Buuuuuuut.... that was exactly what they were looking for with the character and I ended up getting the part. And yes, it actually ended up being a good time on set.
What Kind of Training Have you Had? by Suzanne Bronson • last post Aug 21st
We come from all over the world on this platform. We are in all different stages of our careers. Some of you are new to acting, some of you are veterans, some of you even do it for a living. I am curious what kind of training, if any, everyone has had. I went to a performing arts high school my senior year, then I majored in theater in college. (Didn't complete, so I stayed in Orange County) where, I went to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. (Hated it!) Then private classes in OC. I have also taken private classes at Playhouse West with one Jeff Goldblum! and Mark Pellegrino. (loved it) I have had real life training about what a set is like when I worked as an extra for four years. Classes will teach you how to act, but theater is an entirely different animal from a movie set with a camera in your face.

The Art of the Cameo: Which Ones Do You Love Most? by Ashley Renee Smith • last post Aug 20th
From Muhammad Ali in Diff’rent Strokes to Sting in Only Murders in the Building, a perfectly placed cameo can be unforgettable, and even iconic. Cameos like these don’t just break the fourth wall, they leave a lasting impression and often become fan-favorite moments.
This new article from Deadline highlights ten of the most memorable TV cameos of all time, and it’s a fascinating reminder of how much impact one brief appearance can have on both a story and an audience:
https://deadline.com/2025/08/from-muhammad-ali-to-al-gore-ten-memorable-...
So let’s start a conversation:
What’s your favorite cameo performance in TV or film and why did it stick with you?
And for the actors here: Would you ever want to play a fictional version of yourself on screen?
Some of my personal favorites are Prince in New Girl, basically every Stan Lee appearance in the Marvel movies, Bill Murray in Zombieland, and Peter Jackson in Entourage. And more recently, Scorsese in The Studio!

Actors, what is the best advice you have ever received regarding your technique? by Alexandra Stevens • last post Aug 19th
In an recent interview at the Sarajevo Film Festival, actor Gary Oldman - who I love - shared the best advice he had ever received. He said: "it was a criticism that his eyes looked dead in a scene, sharing that he learned right then and there that much of acting comes from and through the eyes."
