Weeeerrrrrkkkk.
That’s all I did today 😛 New type of work with Netflix. Figuring out my workflow still. Wasted a lot of time today doing things in a non-optimal manner, and there were some server issues to contend with to boot.
I was just about to write a whole diatribe about this scene I did in college and talk about “attraction” in a script…but after rolling it over in my mind, it was rather self-indulgent 😛 And a long time ago. Suffice it to say, folks, that my job as an actor is to deliver what the script is telling me to deliver. That, and I can’t stand an actor who isn’t getting themselves into the emotional and actionable state they’re supposed to, and then blames that on their scene partner for “not giving them what they need.” That’s your fucking job. If my scene partner isn’t giving me what I think they should, then it’s my job to give them back the reaction they’re supposed to be seeing, and maybe that will help them get where they’re supposed to. My job is to give, give, give…not shut down and then blame the other person for it. Fuck that.
It’s magic to watch two actors being completely supportive of each other. I suppose that’s “chemistry”…but I also think it’s my job as an actor 😛
I haven’t talked about acting much on this blog. I suppose I miss it…and I do. I loved theater school. It taught me so much about life. For reals. I grew up in theater school. I’ll forever be grateful for that, and for teaching me so much about excellence and work ethic. Not to say that I found excellence, per se…no, I mean I saw excellence. And I saw all the work that it took to get there.
Anyway…random thoughts tonight. Liz talking about her acting class made me think about theater school for some reason. 10 years ago, this summer. THAT is fucking crazy.
Time flies, guys. Time fucking flies.
It was a good day today 😛 One of the better ones I’ve had recently. I felt energized. Feels good 🙂 Good night!
