There are amazing people everywhere, in every field, doing incredible work, or who just are incredible because they bring love, joy, generosity, and a strong work ethic to their job, regardless of the color of their collar. But actors are something special to me. Of course I’m going to say that. It’s my field. But you really, really are.
I’ve had the pleasure of working on a job for the last couple weeks where all I have to do for the session is interview the actors and get to know them a little bit. I know some session directors are “over it” and have lost the love of our job—if they ever even had it to begin with—and would loathe hearing actors talk about themselves all day, but to me it’s been one of my favorite jobs in recent memory. I get to see you guys act all the time, but I rarely get a chance to see you.
First off, and obviously, so many of the actors I interviewed are from interesting places around the world: Siberia, Turkey, South Africa, France, Fiji, Argentina, Australia, Connecticut.
