HOLLYWOOD ACTOR PREP by Dana Kaminski

Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr., Playing Lead Title Role

For full list of the supporting players, go to this link at IMDB.

(Sorry, to my iPhone users, about the trailers being in ‘flash’…it was just a bit easier this time.)

Precious Trailer, With Mo’Nique Who May Get An Academy Award Nom For Acting In This Film

Directed by Lee Daniels, this movie has a newcomer-actor in the lead title role, Gabourey ‘Gabby’ Sidibe.  Some well-known musical names are also acting in Precious, such as Lenny Kravitz, and Mariah Carey.  Full cast list at IMDB.

Doesn’t Every Actress Wish To Work With Pedro Almodovar? ...Broken Embraces

Here’s a trailer with one of his usual actor-hires, and acting-Oscar winner as well, Penelope Cruz.

Bad Lieutenant: Port Of  Call New Orleans, Directed By The Esteemed Werner Herzog

Yet, this film is a remake and Harvey Keitel was the actor in the original, and it’s one of his most famous roles. So there’s a little murmur of complaint inside the artistic film community,  where great acting performances are regarded as sacred.

Negating the murmurs, somewhat, is the fact that Werner Herzog directed this one.  He’s solidly in the master league of directors; and you can’t get any more artistic, as a definition, than Mr. Herzog;  whether he’s doing documentaries, or narrative films.

Besides  Nicolas Cage, this Bad Lieutenant also has an exciting cast list. Here are just a few actor names to throw: Val Kilmer, Eva Mendez, Michael Shannon, Fairuza Balk, Brad Dourif, Vondie Curtis-Hall…See the full list of actors at this IMDB page link.

Enjoy!

Alice In Wonderland By Tim Burton With Johnny Depp

Actor Johnny Depp can play imaginative characters, with the most grounding of anyone I can think of.

Was there ever more emotional truth, than in the character of “Edward Scissorhands”? I could write a book…

Two Posts A Week Only, On Hollywood Actor Prep?!

I know I haven’t been writing as much…it’s summer, a-n-d I am doing other work that will show up here, and elsewhere…

Stay with me. I promise to continue to provide actor advice and experiential information, about professional acting.

I believe that acting awareness needs to extend out to the real world too, about the lives of actors.

I need to do other things, too; for my own evolution…

I am still on-focus, on my mission, to make the ‘Actors-life’ better, and I do believe I will…I am building a foundation, brick by brick…
