Act like a professional, in your regard and in respect to your career, with respect to your highest self. Learn to act like a professional actor. That’s why it’s called that. And when you are ready to put something out for the public, and for your future employers to see, make sure it is only at the level that your future employers will want to employ you from…and employ you over all the other actors.

Funny stuff
Funny Videos :: Only A Partial Cop-out, From Dana
Why Might These Videos Have Value For Actors?
1. One of the most valuable things to do is to laugh. That’s my opinion.
2. It’s also a gift to be able to make people laugh. Funny Or Die has contributions some of the funniest actors and comedians.

He’s also amongst peers…(VIDEO

My two least “faves” (may as well use the lingo, isn’t that just fab?)…(and oh, I am cringing as I avoid typing them) …are:
Terms Used To Describe Actors:
–Thesps– and –Starrers–.
Yes. I have read them. In Variety. And Other Perfectly Acceptable Publications. (Excuse me…I must now exit for a second, to throw up.)

When I met this Texas actor on Twitter, and I learned he lived in Austin; I was stoked. I’d been to Austin on a roadtrip back in my college days, where I had a wild weekend of live music…Many LA actors that originally come from Texas; buy an additional home there, after they start to make some real acting bucks.
