Hollywood Is A Ghost Town by Matthew Gross  •  last post Jun 23rd

Summer hiatus is in full swing, so it's a ghost town here in Hollywood. Some updates: SAG-AFTRA's contracts are set to ends June 30th, and a vote to strike was passed. However, it looks like contract negotiators may extend the negotiations for a few additional days beyond the June 30th expiration date; otherwise all existing union film projects to come to a screeching halt. Today, June 23, members of DGA vote on their new contract; fingers crossed. I woke this morning, had breakfast, and then realized I have absolutely nothing to do today or the next few weeks. Long waits can be tough. Hopefully things will be back to normal in time for the 2023-24 season beginning August. 

A Showrunner’s Guide To A Writing Career In Television by Sam Sokolow  •  last post Jun 23rd

TV show writers' rooms have often been populated by actors who either discovered their talent for character and scene building or who have a connection to the series or material. In fact, my wife, a long time screen and stage actor, recently wrote on a Netflix series. If you want to write for television this Stage 32 class hosted by TV writers and showrunner Todd Slavkin is a must!


Todd's experiences showrunning series for Disney, The CW, ABC, and more have provided him with an arsenal of showrunning tools that he will share with you to prepare you for your own career as a showrunner. Todd has worked in all different kinds of genres and has been involved with many popular television shows, including SMALLVILLE, SHADOWHUNTERS and most recently THE MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY, for which he was nominated for two Emmys. He has written pilots for ABC, NBC, FOX, FREEFORM and The CW, where he developed and was the showrunner of MELROSE PLACE 2.0. 

Todd is a brilliant writer, a wealth of information, a generous and popular educator and simply a terrific person to work with and learn from. Here's a link. so you can see how Todd has designed his class and be among the first to register: https://www.stage32.com/classes/Stage-32-4-Part-Writing-Class-A-Showrunner-s-Guide-To-A-Writing-Career-In-Television

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.
