An Actors Path
I'm searching for 'stats' about breaking into show business and
'this' lands on my desk.
'Lip augmentation has gained popularity as celebrities bask
in the limelight'
Okay, now I'm distracted...You see, I'm looking for something a
bit more shrewd, something that might shed light on a young
actors life, like working hard at it because you love it and you
want to be the best.
I know, I know, the whole working hard part is like sand
in your mouth, and full lips, well, if you have them, flaunt
them.
Okay, I'm losing ground, I'm nosing around for a story that
celebrates the business of acting, such as training hard, harder
than any elite athlete, and developing an indestructible
no-nonsense big business sense. More Donald Trump and less
Extreme Makeover.
But, I'm sidetracked by full lipped celebrities and their bad
acting shockers, distracted by Jimmy Cho shoes and modeling
naked, and then wham, like the scent of sticky buns in
Grand Central Station this phenomenally interesting cast
of characters wakes up my hunger.
Phillip Seymour Hoffmann in Capote Felicity Huffman in
Transamerica And Cynthia Nixon in Warm Springs
All serious minded, hard working, dyed in the wool New York City
stage actors, winning awards for seriously cool projects and
making over the enterprise!
Okay, now that's focused. This is the message...
Anything you really want is hard to get. Be prepared and do
your best.
And with that, consider the words of Phillip Seymour Hoffmann...
'I'm afraid I'll be the kind of actor who thought he would
make a difference and didn't.'
