Just something I've been thinking about...

*sigh* I know that I've said that I'm over this...and that I won't dwell on the whole Theater thing...but...I can't help it. I try very hard in theater...and I know that I'm a good actor...I may not be the best...but damn it, I'm not so bad that I have to be a tech all the time... I'm worse with tech stuff than I am on the stage! I don't fucking

Tony, look at me. Am I a nice looking actor? No, I get typecast for my body type. I knew I wouldn't get Danny in Grease. I know I won't ever play Claudio in Much Ado. But you work with what you have. Adam makes it because he doesn't care if he embarasses himself. He puts himself out there. You hold back. You are too hard on yourself. So you're a good actor and you know it. We don't. You have to prove it to us. That's what acting is. Being great and not using it is as useless as tits on a boar. If you worry that people will think you will suck, you will suck. Just have some self-confidence or at least the decency to not worry about eternal shame for screwing up. Half of the battle is about body type anyway. You have a character actor look about you. If I worried that I'd never get a part, I wouldn't. People put you in a role because they think you can play it well. Holding back does not show that you can play it well. Take a chance, be confident, and just know that you have friends backing you even if you fail

the Theatre Society only HEAL was just an idea being tossed around, it didn't stick.
