Success!
Acting class today. Had a scene from True Crime, in which I played Eastwood’s part, Steve Everett. Had the script for a week or more to work the lines, but only practiced with my partner Chelsea in the hallway for 20 minutes. Nevertheless, we (as Randy Jackson would say) “worked it out, dog.” Scene came off really well. Ralph said he was impressed with us and that he really believed my character lived in that bar… “no hobbies, no friends, just his car out front and drinkin’.”
It’s so nice to have real life experiences to draw on. 🙂
And it’s a long way from doing that scene from “According to Jim” and having him ask “You do know this is a comedy, right?”
But it’s true… I felt the difference. This thing actors do (real actors, not me) is hard work. Till today I always felt self-conscious, not really listening to the other person between my lines… I was (cue John Lovitz) “ACTING!”
Today was cool. Now if I can only maintain. Next week, Jerry McGuire.
That’s a horror flick, right?
