American actors

minute, you arrive at your assigned seat and the well dressed man wishes you a wonderful evening and leaves to assist another audience member. Waiting for the show to begin, you decide to look through your program. Headshots and biographies of the actors and characters amuse you for a short period of time, but then you begin to notice that there are more people involved in the show than you had originally thought. Pages and pages of credits for everything from stagehands and…

As usual, I had to a do a little research to discover who played some of the minor characters, and I did ascertain that while this cast has some notable and recognized professionals, there are also several outstanding newcomers. Thankfully, all the actors and actresses work together to make this another of my favorites of the holiday season. In fact, at the end of this film, I declared that this is unmistakably my kind of film. No stranger to the screen, Deborah gives a blissfully magnificent…

The instruments present all belong to the String family; Cello, Violin, Viola and the Double Bass are all present in the Scene. This creates a very peculiar sound, no Brass instruments to create the usual ‘Noise’ affiliated with action and no Woodwind to soften the sound and calm things down. The sound is very rough, the high, screeching Violins create excitement as the action becomes more frenzied, so do the Violins. Each knife blow is accompanied by ‘screams’ by the high violins. This goes on…

shows not only the actors appearance, but also helps to portray aspects of their lives and the setting they are in. The many different kinds of makeup are…

Casting is a vital part of creating a movie and the director must be involved in the process to bring his or her vision to life. In the case of some movies any actor who fits a general type will be able to fulfill a director’s vision, but in other cases there is only one actor who will work in the role. Both of these situations are reflected in the casting of the protagonists in The Drop and Spy. The movie Spy without the casting of Melissa McCarthy would have lost the impact of the majority of…

thoroughly describe the feat of acting. Acting is not all there is to being an actor. There are various trials and competitions such as auditions and casting calls to go through prior to even being able to capture a job. After that, having the title of “actor” means hours devoted to memorizing lines and cues (Encyclopedia of Careers, 16). All this is still only the surface of all the actions that must be taken to really be an actor. Acting displays a mixture of various skills including…

The Actors Society is constituted by human beings. Although sociologists seldom endow agency to individuals, they still describes some of the actions of the actors in their works. The two theorists here are French theorists, who have tendency toward bestowing less agency to the actors as most French theorists do. However, their discussion cannot lose the part of actors if they want a whole picture instead of a partial one. In my view, albeit Durkheim and Foucault are similar at putting less…

age? There’s an ever-increasing gap between the age of the actors/actresses that play teenage roles in television and it’s actually a problem we need to address. A big topic in today’s world is how teenagers view themselves, their bodies, and how television sets these unrealistic notions about what a fourteen year old may look like. The critical media analysis I am going to be discussing is related to the ages and diversity of the actors and actress’s television shows hire to play teenagers.…

audience member. Instead, this play had concepts of body changing and to me there was not a single main actor the entire time. By changing who the play revolved around through this body changing, the writer was able to have themes of the difficulty of finding one’s true self and the agony that comes with this journey. Examples of this theme can be seen through all of the characters since every actor had their own chance of spotlight when they had their opportunity of being Margo Vail or Arthur.…

While I have been a When Calls the Heart fan from Day One, I sometimes lose track of the actors who were a part of the cast in seasons one and two. Thankfully, I am connected with a superb network of Hearties who keep me abreast of such things, and recently, that is exactly what happened. Katelyn Meger, the actress who is fondly remembered as Rachel from When Calls the Heart, has matured into a lovely, young lady whose star is quickly on the ascent. Not too long ago, I had the supreme honor of…
