Hollywood Reporter: Armie Hammer now turning down jobs. A low-budget Western (that I produced) named Frontier Crucible brought him back by Preston Poulter  •  last post Jan 3rd

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Armie Hammer now has to turn down work because he's getting so many offers. 

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/armie-hammer-talks-comeback-turning-jobs-down-podcast-1236097804/

He got massively #MeToo-ed during COVID and had not worked in acting since. As the producer of the movie that facilitated his return to acting, Frontier Crucible (referenced in the article), I can say he was quite professional and charming during our entire three weeks of shooting.

Great for the New Year! Tips for Better Headshots, According To a Top Acting Coach: by Tammy Hunt  •  last post Dec 27th


- Go pro. Spend money-it’s worth it. Go to a professional who is trained, understands lighting, and takes headshots for a living, not some friend who happens to have a decent camera who “sorta knows a little about photography.”

- Opt for personality over glamour. Make sure it looks like you. Chill with the airbrushing. Casting directors expect you to look just like your headshot and will not be happy when you show up looking totally different or 10 years older.

- Remember: It’s all about the eyes. Just like with on-camera acting, it’s all about the eyes and what’s happening behind them. It’s your closeup, your moment. Your eyes should be perfectly in focus, alive, and energized, not dead and glazed over.

- Pay attention to framing, lighting, and background. In general, a good headshot is chest up with good lighting on your face, and no strong dramatic shadows, unless you are going in for “The Phantom of the Opera.” Three-quarter shots are good for print, and extreme close-ups are good for, well, nothing.

- Consider natural light vs. studio. Some photographers do both, as they offer a different look and feel. Natural light gives a very real, “film” look, which I prefer. Studio lighting tends to be a little more polished, with a more neutral backdrop. Both can be wonderful. If you are more of a sitcom actor, perhaps a well-lit studio headshot is more suited for you.

- Don’t go crazy with clothing and props. I once saw a headshot of a guy with a bird on his head. Why? Because he wanted to stand out. Let’s not get crazy here. Keep it simple and classy. Professionalism not desperation gets you noticed. A simple, solid shirt with a little texture that fits you.

- Go easy with the makeup. Yes, lots can be done with retouching. There is no need to put on tons of makeup. You want to look like yourself on your best day and not look like you tried too hard. Do your hair the way you would for every audition.

- Matt Newton, On-Camera Acting Coach

Black short hair, brown eyes, Not a gym body but not also a fat body. , kinda skinny. I have a litte problem in my noise. I´ve born of 6 months instead of 9 months just like a lot of people so I have one nostril bigger than the other. That´s the only thing that worry me.
Im currently enrolling in a Acting Bachelor Degree in my original Country (Portugal) and I´m going in an Erasmus exchange program to Nanterre Paris University in France to study "Arts du Spectacle: Cinema and Theatre.

Im telling all of this for you to know that I have acting experience and I´m going to get even more on France however what worries me most is the image.

The TV Show That Made History: For The Wrong Reason


https://youtu.be/R7s95q0NgNY

It was disappointing to see a TV show (I was cast in,) that had such potential fail so miserably. There were so many amazing actors working on the show: Steven Pasquale, Phylicia Rashad, Lin-Manuel Miranda, F. Murray Abraham, James Cromwell, and Jurnee Smollett

Watch the video and learn why.

Proud of Cynthia by Sam Sokolow  •  last post Dec 18th

Getting to work with Cynthia Erivo a few years back when she was famous but not a household name when she led our series GENIUS: ARETHA was incredible. I've always been in true awe. I am so happy I got to do that before her rocketship took off to Pluto. Amazing!!! https://deadline.com/2024/12/cynthia-erivo-james-mangold-sundance-film-f...

My Journey as an Actor: Overcoming Obstacle and Pursuing Passions by Emola Durojaye  •  last post Dec 15th


"As an aspiring actor and writer, I've always been passionate about storytelling. Growing up in Badagry local government, Ibiye, Lagos State I was fascinated by the way movies and TV shows could transport me to different worlds and make me feel seen.

I remember spending hours watching old films with my family and trying to recreate the scenes with my siblings. As I got older, my love for storytelling only grew stronger.

Despite facing several challengee, I've continued to pursue my dreams in the entertainment industry. I've had the opportunity to work on Remfyn Media Concept, which has taught me so much about the craft and business of storytelling.

I'm excited to connect with other creatives on Stage 32 and learn from their experiences. What's your story? What inspires you to create?"
