oh sweetie, i smell magic in the air! at least, there's definately something magical happening in my loins, if you know what i mean! but i'm curious to know how a strapping young man like yourself got into serious acting instead of dirty little pornography films!
i joined a youth theatre in my local town, and have been a member with them for the last 7 years. that and by doing productions at my high school - which is known throughout europe for it's outstanding shows.
honey, that just takes me back to my early acting career; i too was involved with many members known throughout europe, and all were very, very outstanding! but me, i've always picked films with a lot of raw animal passion; what's it like to work on a real hollywood movie, sugar?
it's great fun most of the time, but there is alot of hanging around to be done. sometimes you'll spend all day sitting waiting to do something, and others you'll work for almost 10 hours with no more than a lunch break!
oh sugar, i completely understand! our director always made us do plenty of stretches before a shoot, so by the end of the day my hindquarters were a wreck! but sweetie, i've just come from seeing your latest film - and how! tell me, was it hard when you were playing a wizard?
it's just a role, as difficult as any other role i could have been given. it is slightly easier to be playing a fictional character than someone that could be real. fortunately an ability to do magic is not necessary!
but i do so love that magic that you do, honey; in fact, i think i'll go watch harry potter in slow motion again! but before i go, do you have any wise wizard words to pass along to those of us eager to penetrate the real acting business?
make sure you know that it is definately what you want to do. it is great fun, but has it's high points and low points. there is alot of rejection, quite a bit of criticism, and lots of competition. be determined, don't give up and you'll go far.
