Day 15 - Acting Class, Self Reflection and The Golden Globes

Day 15 - VLOG CLICK HERE!

I joined an acting class with Rana Joy Glickman. Wesam introduced me to it and its been great. We usually start the class with a certain topic. Today it was "assumptions."  Draw your own conclusions about it. I did a scene that I wrote about a would-be politician pushed into the light due to the passing of his wife. You find out through twists and turns that the wife was murdered so an independent energy firm could secure a strong grasp on a new energy nation. Over a course of 2 years, the husband transitions into the role of politician and excels. He uncovers the conspiracy and tries to expose it. Heavy stuff!

After discussing the scene and my work and upon returning home I realize it was the first time I had put the scene up on its feet and the first time I had opened myself up to the material.  The beats weren't clearly defined yet. I know where they are but in the moment I glazed them over. As an actor I have to be honest with myself and admit it needs some work.

Finished the evening with the Golden Globes. No real surprises except Matt LeBlanc winning for being himself. He was the only member of "Friends" that was never nominated for an Emmy. GO MATT! And congrats the "Modern Family" for winning best comedy TV show. I love that show. Its a modern day "Seinfeld" with a family twist. Spend the 30 minutes every Wednesday and watch something that isn't crap!

Until tomorrow.
