When playing an “evil” character you should always find the motivating factor that comes from righteous reasons. In the mind of an evil doer, perpetrating this evil act is with a purpose that gives them some form of emotional resolution. This makes the bad coupled with the good a 3 dimensional more authentic portrayal of the human being that resides within. In the same way, the “good” character has some form of a dark side that can drive their need to be good. Yin and yang: can’t feel the dark without the light, and you can’t feel the light without the dark.

Congratulations Jane Levy for your comedy show Sunset PI (opposite Jake Johnson) being one of the 4 shows NBC picked up this year!!!! Loved working with you on this wonderful project. A joy to have great co-stars and great writing to play with. You are a true risk taker in the choices you make. (and a little self bragging, as I’m due that from time to time) out of 4 shows NBC picked up, I worked with the stars on two of them. The other being David Boreanaz on the reboot of Rockford Files.). Yay team!👏❤️

Mexico talent you did not disappoint. The work was brave and inspired. It was such a joy to be a part of life changing moments for all of us.

Dreams stay dreams if you don’t take action. You can make a dream a reality if you do the work. Greatness isn’t for people who are lazy or play it safe. Be brave and make risky choices. Time is meant to be filled with creative endeavor. Script analysis should be riddled with ways to empower the character’s journey for both you and your audience. And always remember, it’s not over til its over. There’s always more to explore. Never Give Up.

Berlin MasterClass first and second day reactions for your viewing pleasure. Thank you for your kind words! Very inspiring two days!

So excited to return to Tokyo to do a master class, not only are there so many more revelations and ways to be a part of the international market and get international Acting jobs but so many new things over 20 years of information, new exercises, new ways to play things that will allow you to dig deeper, make more profound and unique choices that create a remarkable performance, and choices that will allow you to become a force that cannot be denied. All in the new updated and revised THE POWER OF THE ACTOR book that is being launched at the same time that I come. And in this book that will be available to you - you can watch all this new things from the new book come alive with instruction at the workshop/masterclass - to give you new abilities to use to create greatness. It’s going to be the best workshop of all that I’ve ever done in Tokyo. Let’s learn and grow together .❤️

The point of our being a part of telling a story through acting (writing, or directing) is to give people hope that they can overcome their own traumas, pain, insecurities and fears as the character’s To sit in your pain is a victims choice, Frankly a journey that is depressing to play and to watch. We need to make empowering choices with our pain - create a 3 ring circus with your “stuff”. So many ways to effect change, only one way to give up. Tell a story that needs to be told. Be an emotional hero for others AND yourself.
