I’ve been studying acting for about…3-4 years, off and on. And I don’t feel as passionate about it as I did before. ? I never really wanted to be an actor growing up but when I took a class, I learned to love it. I enjoyed acting because I felt alive doing it. Being in the moment with your scene partner. Being truthful…

Gang. Some help. Watched brando's classic performances like streetcar, godfather etc. His presence and expression is on another level. In particular Streetcar.

I’ve seen interviews where these two fine actors put distance between themselves and their iconic characters, and give credit to the writing. “The writing is what brought the character out of me”. I’ve never acted outside of a first grade play, but it seems to me that these actors must have been chosen in casting becau…

I’m exclusively a commercial actor and model, and recently a production company I had worked with took footage from a shoot I had done and used it to create an entirely new ad with new AI-generated footage of me that I had never actually filmed. The standard **non-union** commercial release is essentially a total buyou…
