6 Actors Having Great Success Late In Life - Guess How Old They Were?

https://youtu.be/oPZwCa_FF4s

How old were you when you began acting? Leave your answer below.

Not everyone gets started or has success at an early age. There are quite a few incredibly well known and successful actors who either started or had success later in life.

Here are the names of the 6 actors discussed in this video.
#Alan Rickman
#Samuel L. Jackson
#Danny Aiello
#Kathryn Joosten
#Dennis Farina
#John Mahoney
I also share a story about the time I met John Mahoney. What a nice man.

Author/Actor/Teacher Michael Laskin talks about the difference between art and business is that they need to coexist! by Ashley Renee Smith  •  last post Jun 19th

This is a great interview! 

While artists should prioritize themselves as artists first, they also need to understand and embrace the business side of their craft. Sustaining oneself in the acting career requires navigating the challenges of the industry, where success can be elusive and rejection is common. It's important for actors to realize that the casting process is not personal and that casting directors want them to succeed. Building a community of fellow actors and having a supportive partner can make the journey easier.

Artificial intelligence by Lee Kim  •  last post Jun 17th

What does everyone think about artificial intelligence and the impact it will have on the industry? (Talent, directors, writers, etc.)? I'm aware of the WGA writers' strike. But, apart from that (although not diminishing at all the importance of it), I wanted to get people's perspectives on AI. (This is a very broad question and could address anything from large language models to AI-generated art, etc.) Thanks, Lee https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm12295430

Do you want to direct? by Sam Sokolow  •  last post Jun 14th

Some of the best directors started their careers acting (from Clint Eastwood to Regina King). If you want to learn the fundamentals of film directing, Stage 32 is hosting a course I highly recommend that starts this coming Sunday, June 18th called DIRECTING 101. 


Award-winning director Clay Liford takes you on a 4-session journey to the heart of film directing and all of the responsibilities, challenges and opportunities it entails. 

Here's a link so you can see how Clay has designed his class and register for it while you still can: https://www.stage32.com/classes/Stage-32-4-Part-Class-Directing-101

In person auditions by Omari Washington  •  last post Jun 14th

For all my actor peeps out there, do you guys think casting directors will start in person auditions ever again? Self tapes are cool but I feel like it's almost like trying to win the lottery because casting sees at least 3 times as more talent now per role since it's mainly self tapes.

A Few Good Actors by Dwayne Pagnotto  •  last post Jun 13th

Where can I find specifically, English actors and actresses (ages 12-56)who live in America, to act in my American sitcom?


I mean is there a web-service that would provide me with such information? 

I already found one site where there's lots of British actors and actresses, who are the ages I'm looking for and are perfect for the roles in every single way. But they all live in the UK. So I know that whenever I present my show bible to whoever wishes to buy my TV Pilot rights, they are gonna ask me first thing, "Couldn't you find any talent here in the US to act in your TV series?" Right? So what do I do?

And if they do, I can understand them asking that, because they will most likely have to pay double for any British actors who have to actually travel here to work on the TV series, right? Especially minors. So how do i find the right English actors and actresses I need in the states to help bring my TV show to life?

Besides that, the website charges $6.55 a month in order to interact with the members there. And i cannot see paying that, if the people who buy my TV series are gonna get mad at me cause they have to pay double to whichever British talent moves here.

A Great Diego Luna Interview! by Ashley Renee Smith  •  last post Jun 12th

Check out this great video interview with Diego Luna, talking about the "Film That Lit His Fuse" as a teenager and what his journey was to become the international actor that he is today. 

Is there anything about Diego's story that surprised or inspired you? I really enjoyed his perspective on what "Hollywood" actually is and how important creativity is when production value is limited.

Acting by Josiah Bhola Hillaire  •  last post Jun 8th

The question I’m going to ask may rub people the wrong way and I do apologize if it comes across as rude, but I’m going to ask it. Why does racism play a huge factor in the fact that black entertainers are struggling while other people are making it? I know black actors, writers, etc. from New York and California who have been struggling for years while seeing other ethnicities thriving.
