Haven't posted for the last few days because I've been swept off my feet doing this drama course. The week started with an awesome surprise, the presence of one of my many friends named James (JT, for those in the know), who is doing the exact same class. The mind-bending part of it for me is that this guy is a great, talented and very funny ( Read more... )

The British TV industry appears to be much like its Australian sister, especially in that most fun (and American) of tv sports: playing Six Degrees of Seperation/Kevin Bacon. Don't bother clicking through the cut if you can't be bothered by my musing about some British telly, yeah?

( Acting in playreadings, Acting in books, and Acting of TV: Supernatural )
