Pro-Actor:: Ed Asner’s Rousing Speech From Actor Rally At CBS
This is a second video, a different one with Ed Asner featured, from the CBS Rally…
…That I edited and posted for Hollywood Actor Prep, that is. (The first is an interview and can be viewed by clicking here.)
I find this speech powerful.
I am typing out his words here; because they are so true, and so very moving for me.
Maybe all actors should keep this and play it back, from time-to-time. If you know any, please send it on to them by email, or post it on your Facebook page.

What Ed Asner says into the megaphone:
…Warriors,
Keep up this wonderful demonstration, every week,
Thanks to Scott Wilson.
And I’ll be with you each time as much as I can
Right now I am going to get a blood transfusion
So that I can come back next week
Know that this is the righteous cause that you are fighting for fairness
In an industry that’s usually been fair
But the great leaders of the past are gone
So by your demonstrating here
Hopefully you will make them produce leaders
Who have compassion
Who understand this business
And who appreciate actors
Rather than machines
Don’t let the robots take us over
Either in management or performance
You are artists
Never forget it
Never forget it
***
I’d love for you to let me know what you think of this….
