When discussing the content of the theater, I like seeing themes that explore overcoming some type of struggle or just wanting to be loved. The characters I like to see is people who actually show deep emotion in who they are playing. I like for the actors to actually fulfill the characters actions and rolls making me feel as if I have the same feelings he or she is portraying in the play. The plots that interest me during a play is actually seeing a character try over and over…

System in Hollywood is what powers the rise of unknowns into household names and Hollywood fame. The Star, the actor and even the real person all play a role in the success and failure of an actor or actress, personas which in combination will be able to make or break a film before it is even released. Harrison Ford manages this expertly, a rough yet heroic star, a quick witted and dead pan actor, and the actual person hidden away from the public kept extremely private. These traits are what…

and the Big Five were making money hand-over-fist. They controlled everything that had anything to do with movies from production to exhibition. In 1946 the studios had made an astonishing $121,000,000 in profits. The years after World War II, the film industry changed radically and Hollywood began a period of decline.

insanely overrated. I think talent comes through hard work and learning the craft. I find this an interesting occupation I 'm in, and I guess I 've always approached if differently than most of the world. I know a lot of people think that to be an actor, you have to be born with it. Everyone assumes that everyone who does it is just naturally good at it.
