Auditions Of Well-Known Actors :: New Page

Posted by Dana Kaminski on 15th November 2009 in Auditioning

Today I added a new page to Hollywood Actor Prep, called ‘Actors Audition’.

If you look up, almost to the very top near the logo, you’ll see it.

Click on those words, and the new page opens.

I put five there, but call it a tease…I’ve got a list of lots more videos. I’ll throw some more up soon.

Today I posted:

Dustin Hoffman, in drag, auditioning for ‘Tootsie’.

Kristen Bell auditioning for ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’.

A very young Miley Cyrus auditioning for ‘Hannah Montana’.

And two videos of Julia Roberts auditioning for something long before there were professional eyebrow groomers.

I l-o-v-e these!

I hope you do too.  Please let me know…

In case you feel it’s too athletic to scroll to the top of the page, here’s a link: Hollywood Actor Prep Actors Audition Page.

Best,

Dustin Hoffman: The Acting Of Melissa Leo

Lots and lots of buzz abounds, about the film “Frozen River”…and the acting of Melissa Leo.  Especially with Oscar season approaching…

 

I love this thing that Variety’s doing:

Actors talk about great performances of fellow actors…

(I ran one of these before: Natalie Portman “champions” Sean Penn, for his acting performance in “Milk”–[click for trailer].)

Here’s Dustin Hoffman talking about (probable Oscar nominee) Melissa Leo:


“It’s funny. When you’re in the business, you can tell something in the first minutes of watching, particularly in terms of the actors. Just at the start of “Frozen River,” the first thing I saw I went, “Oh! oh!” I don’t even know the director (Courtney Hunt), but there was such a documentary feel to that performance by Melissa Leo. I don’t know Melissa Leo, but that’s an extraordinary piece of work. There’s not a false moment. I felt she knew it and lived that life.”

I’ll be posting, some more, about Melissa Leo, over the next week…

Best,
