I am never a fan of actors commenting on another actor's work while they are in the process of creating their art, but I am happy to read that Caan had the decency to apologize. https://deadline.com/2024/07/james-caan-not-amused-will-ferrell-while-fi......

It is common for writers to place notes in the sides we use for auditions. Their comments or ideas could be anything from having your character scream, laugh or is surprised for certain lines or responses.
It is important to read what they have to say, but I don’t believe it is necessary to follow...

I am going to try a little experiment here in a few of the lounges.

Amazing Things Happened When I Gambled At An Audition
Have you ever experienced a weird audition? If so, share it with us.
Yes, I read an interview about he went in as the character and said horrible things to the writers and producers. That too was a gamble that paid off. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Yes, I heard that too. :-)
It certainly worked for him.
"When we connect to people with our emotions we generally want two things: To be understood and/or to have the other person feel the same way that we feel. In order to have these things happen, first we must deeply feel the emotion and second, the emotion needs to be expressed in a strong and compel...

Mr. Confident can you please open your eyes while you introduce yourself, I want to start the audition today.
Yes, I really like this, thank you, Craig. so true.
I'm one of those actors who spent years at a university learning how to be...myself, and called it an acting degree. Sure a lot of us here can relate to that, and we are all basking in the pride of our parents, right? (Is this thing on?)
Many of us actors can feel like we are floundering out here in...

You're amazing, Ashley Ottesen! Thank you for taking the time to answer everyone's questions!
Is this thing still on? I just noticed you had a merch shop. Mind telling us how that came about and the challenges that come with pulling that together?
Brian Swenlin the merch came about because the audience asked for it

At this year’s Cannes 2024, Stage 32 hosted a fantastic expert panel exploring how last year's strikes rocked the industry and changed the overall production landscape. You can watch the great conversation in today’s blog.

Thanks for sharing, Maurice Vaughan! It's a wonderful panel!
You're welcome, Ashley Renee Smith. They give incredible advice and insight! I'm glad Stage 32 posted the conversation for those who couldn't be at Cannes.
It is wild to think about the last few years of Armie Hammer's life. Imagine going from A-list celebrity to selling time shares. Even more so, imagine walking into a time-share sales office and seeing Armie Hammer behind the desk.

Back in LA, I was with a small group, and Armie was there, and we would all have a pint, and this happened over months. I found him to be a very down to Earth man, and it's a drag all this happened to...

His whole life story is pretty out there. His father ran a renowned art gallery in NY that got caught selling fake works by famed artists too. There's a documentary called "Made You Look: A True Story About Fake Art" that' all about it.
Wild is an understatement.

Expand commentAshley Renee Smith, I couldn't agree more with you. It's not right, when an actor makes another actor's life on set difficult and comments on their performance. They are not the director and have to remember that the other actor was hired for a purpose, namely that they are right for the role and can do an amazing job.

Expand commentExcellent point, Brigitte. If it's not your vision, it's not your place to criticize. // One of the most supportive actors I ever worked on a shoot with was Lily Tomlin. Joel Schumacher directed her in "The Incredible Shrinking Woman". She was a joy for all from cast to crew. And I've just started watching "Grace and Frankie" again. They must have all had such fun on those film sets. // Thanks, Tom, for bringing this up.

Exactly Brigitte I agree wit h you.Those actors make themselves important on set than they are, in my openion, they have inferiority of complex. They want to be on the midle point. The want to be considerate than others.
