For the Actor

For the Actor FTA was founded by veteran actor Peter Looney who studied with Sanford Meisner himself and multi award winning filmmaker and director Julia Huffman.

“For the Actor is a creative space that feels intimate, supportive and playful. Julia and Peter work in a wonderful teaching partnership to bring the best out of their students as they lead them to deeper connections in their work”
-Actress Sheryl Lee

“I learned about camera angles, breaking down scripts, and how to use my vulnerability and “weirdness” in a totally different way. Now when I audit

ion, I feel like I’m a step ahead of the competition.”
London Garcia
Actor & Comedian

Peter Looney coached me when I was an actor; as a producer/director, I have used him, and some of his students, in my films. His methods get quick results, and they turn out the most organic and spontaneous of performances. Peter is a wonderful, passionate teacher with incredible insight. He challenges his students like few coaches dare. Tom Shell
