Veteran Actress
Mindy Robinson
Works with Real Vets in Her Latest Role in
Range 15

Robinson is one of the hardest working actresses in Hollywood with over 150 appearances on TV and film, and has no problem holding her own amongst the testosterone-fueled landscape of Range 15.

Range 15 plays like The Hangover meets Act of Valor, with zombies to fight instead of terrorists. Intentionally campy and packed to the brim with surprising celebrity appearances, the action/horror/comedy also features a cast which is made up of no less than 75 percent veterans. Among the working actors cast in the remaining 25 percent is Mindy Robinson, whose veteran boyfriend Randy Couture (three-time UFC Heavyweight Champion, two-time UFC Light Heavyweight Champion)

I mean that's what people's pets eat first when you die and it takes awhile for people to find the body, so they must be on to something, right? Num num num!

G&C: There are a lot of great celebrity appearances in Range 15, many of which play a zombie version of themselves. Are there any other celebrities you’d like to see as zombies?

MR: I'd like to see Tom Hanks play a zombie, and I bet he'd still win a fucking Oscar for it!

G&C: Range 15 has a zombie narrative but plays much more as a comedy than a horror film. You’ve worked a great deal in both genres. Do you have a preference/favorite?

MR: Comedies are my favorite, because I am already kind of weird and goofy. I just feel like it comes more naturally to me. It's only when I have to be serious or afraid of something that I feel like I'm actually "acting."

G&C: You have an obvious knack for comedy. Was any of your performance in Range 15 improvised?

MR: I did improvise a bit. In fact, they almost cut my favorite scene out! But people saw it in the bloopers and loved it so much it ended up in the final version. Life is improvised, so I think sometimes the best additions are the ones you come up with at the moment! Plus, those tend to be the most fucked up

    Every impersonation he did were very well crafted, the physical and vocal aspects of it were amazing as well. The amount of character building that must have taken to achieve the final product must have been immense. It was also very clear that since it was his own story that he kept it very close to his heart and every word, every sentence was though out and calculated. To be yourself in a performance can be really scary and take you off balance. In Mr. Wright’s case he admitted to the audience in the performance to how hard it was for him to write the script since it was his own story he was going to be projecting.…

    Back in the 1930s, society grouped and showed prejudice against those who weren’t the “perfects” that society visualized. Everyone with defects, disabilities, etc. were put underneath one label that expressed society’s feelings about them. Laura Hillenbrand, the author, used several very strongly connotated words to describe a majority of the nation’s view and attitude towards these people such as “undesirable”. The disabled or “feeble-minded” were seen as keeping the nation back from achieving its full potential. This was several decades ago, and many of us say and many hear politicians say that “we have come a long way since then”.…

    Throughout my 4 years at Booker T., I've met a variety of people, of whom, I never dreamed I'd ever come into contact with. Of those people, there is one person that really stands out to me. For the sake of her privacy, I wont reveal her name, I'll use a pseudo name (lat's say, Amanda). Amanda is an African American female in the theater cluster, she is a talented mime and even more talented costume designer. Amanda also happens to be a very far right winged republican with some of the most intense views on immigration and religion influenced studies that I've ever seen in someone of her race.…

    Stereotype, a word that conjures up a myriad of feelings and images in ones brain. It allows people to place others into boxes, categorizing them for future reference. However, the danger here is that stereotypes do not make room for the expansion upon said boxes. Michael Pickering, a professor of media and cultural analysis at Loughborough University in the UK, expands upon this idea of stereotypes and their inflexibility in his book Stereotyping: The Politics of Representation published in 2001 by Palgrave Macmillan.…

    The Royal Family, written by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber, is a play about three generations of a wealthy family during the 1920s. I watched the play on December 6, 2015 at the Pierce College Arts Building. The play was directed Anita Adcock, who did great job setting the play as she intended it to be. Everything from the costumes, the lighting, to the typecasting was excellently produced. Particularly, the set design was able to greatly express the theme of the play.…

    Project 5 Reflection 1. What did I notice about how believable and relatable I was in this performance? I felt that the energy and enthusiasm I brought to the stories helped make my performance believable and relatable. I tried to include Broadway fan snippets in each story to help bring that relatability through the script and through the delivery. For example, the “not throwing away his shot” line about Lin Manual-Miranda, which is a snippet from a song from Hamilton.…

    A Christmas Carol Critique

    Upon seeing A Christmas Carol on the night of Friday, November 18th, I had what I thought to be a firm understanding of the Charles Dicken’s classic. It was until the show was over that I realized my previous interpretation was completely senseless, with little to no opinion deriving beyond the script. As I dove into the performance in the Joan C, Edwards playhouse, I made personal connections that I had never made before when watching other adaptions of A Christmas Carol, in particular Scrooge (1970), my father’s favorite. Every detail of this performance aided in my overwhelming positive review, asserting this play as my favorite of all the revisions I have seen.…
