Did y'all enjoy The Actor Awards?!
I loved Harrison Ford's acceptance speech!
“The stories we tell have a unique capacity to create moments with emotional connection. They bring us together,” he said. “So while we’re all at different stages of our lives and careers in this room, we all share somethin...

...then! Then, you hear back from one feature film...

How would you portray loneliness when you are the only conscious being in existence?
Curious how actors approach emotional scale in high-concept roles.
That makes sense, Maurice Vaughan .
Simple actions alone can say a lot.
But in this case, it’s even deeper —
not just doing things alone…
It’s being the only consciousness that exists.
So maybe the lonelin...

really like the behavioral detail you described, Cat Fields
Those small rituals —
checking the phone, pouring a drink, turning the TV off —

For a human character, that works beautif...

acting isn’t portraying a feeling, it’s living it.
In this case, the character would be the only conscious being in existence.

Absolutely you can be lonely if you have never known connection. That is in our DNA. Think of how they cuddle babies in the NICU. Even animals need connection with each other. Punch the monkey is a good example.

Would you mind reposting this one toe?
Suzanne Bronson you mean in English?
Yes. I would love to be able to read it. I think you will get more engagement.
Few actors have been in more great movies, and brought such integrity and authenticity to every single role. Wow - what a career. What's your favorite Robert Duvall movie of all time? I have a big list, but I have to start with "The Godfather". What's yours?
Falling Down with Michael Douglas

second hand lions does it for me
SO MANY, such an impressive catalog of work, The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, THX II38, but the one that holds a special place for me is The Great Santini. The man was a force both on and off screen.
Best portrayal of a southern preacher, The Apostle.
