So I posted an entry a while back about soap actors who should be Hollywood stars. Billy Magnussen is well on his way! He's in a Spielberg film!

Congrats to Billy Im sure he's worked damn hard to get where he is at now.

I guess the thing is with Van if he really wants all that fame/fortune etc for the moment he seems happy to be doing what he's doing The Web series route and IF the movie get's funded hopefully he will get more noterity/attention.

I guess what Im trying to say is Van does what he wants to do and that's awesome, Would I like him to be more well known of course but it's his career/choices. I do believe that Van recently (Sometime earlier this year) switched to a new manager or agent don't ask me the name of it cause I can't recall who it is so maybe that will help his acting career more.

In the meantime have some Dancingish Van hehe

If it's true that he's gotten a new manager/agent, that's good. Just hope his coming out doesn't hurt him.

Dancing!Van is always nice to look at. :)

Cool.

Yeah, I knew it was her. I'm very familiar with studio COOs and presidents so I knew Cody was Alan Horn's daughter. I think it definitely led to Billy getting connections.

I'm very glad to hear that Billy's career is still moving ahead. So far he's been fairly typecast (in AWTW and the 2 plays I saw him in) but he's been able to use that to propel himself further (I don't think the part of Prince Charming in "Into the Woods" is the same type, but I could be wrong). And there's nothing wrong with being typecast, especially if it's getting you work in high profile productions.

Part of it is luck and timing. Wasn't he also dating the daughter of some studio head a few years ago? Every little bit helps.

I hope that it's true that Van has a new agent/manager who will get him seen more often. As we all know, he's very talented. I can't understand why he hasn't appeared on any of the shows that film here in NY (he did well in L.A. that year). No Law & Order? I have actor friends whose only tv credits are L&O.

We just have to be patient.

Yes, he dated the former Warner Bros' president's daughter so that was definitely good for him.

I'm not biased just because I love the Luke character. I honestly watched ATWT just because of Van. I mean, I checked it out 'cause I was curious about the gay couple but he made me stick with it. Seriously, he's good; he just needs the right (and maybe bigger) roles.

Yup, we gotta be patient, I agree.
