  • Acting is Believing

    2010-05-27 5:09 / 会员可以看



    A friend of mine once told me a story of his experience working with Tyne Daly.  I remember watching Ms. Daly on the 80s cop drama Cagney and Lacey in which she was fantastic. 

    They were doing a play on Broadway when,
    on the opening night, Ms. Daly, who was the lead actress, huddled all the actors together before the curtains went up.  She said...

    "Whoever believes the most, wins."

    This was an important lesson for my friend and it has been for me, too.  I often think about this story when I forget what acting is about.  It keeps it simple and it keeps me focused.  I can forget about the crew and the camera and just believe in the world and the circumstances that I find myself in.

    Tyne Daly has won 6 Emmy Awards, a Tony and has been nominated 5 times for a Golden Globe.

    I've never had the chance to work with Tyne Daly but I've had some fantastic teachers in my life.  I've had some really bad ones, too.  The sort that think acting is therapy.  Bad therapy.  I once spent an entire lesson crying over the song Another Brick in the Wall by Pink Floyd.  I won't mention the teacher's name but she was in an 80s movie about an alien who wants to go home. 

    I feel very fortunate to have met my acting coach early on in my career.  She's not a guru nor a pseudo therapist.  She just helps me believe. 

    My friend and acting coach, Jeanne Hartman, is back in Hong Kong to teach her amazing 2 day intensive acting classes.  If you wanna join us,  click here for more details.

    Alec Baldwin is hilarious on 30 Rock but do you remember him in Malice and Glengarry Glen Ross?

  • Jasmine and Acting Classes

    Jasmine




    I've been meaning to write a blog for ages but I've been completely consumed with the shooting of my new movie, Jasmine, written and directed by AnDer, Dax Phelan.  It's been an tough shoot with lots of ups and downs but there have been some really enjoyable moments, too.

    The story is about a man who returns home to Hong Kong to deal with the aftermath of the murder of his wife.  It's been extremely taxing emotionally, but I've been fortunate to work with so many good people who believe in the project.






    One of the things I've been so pleased about is how many actors we auditioned and cast in the film from the acting workshops that I've been organizing for the past year with Jeanne Hartman.  Of course, I got to know Jen Thym from the class and was honoured to have her come onboard the film as our producer.  I'm still searching for a cameo for her.  Grace Huang is the title character and my wife in the movie, Jasmine.  The quality of the acting at the auditions was fantastic and  my only disappointment was that there weren't enough roles to go around.  Some of the alumni that I really wanted to cast in substantial roles were Stephanie Fodor and Jayson Li but we'll have to save you for next time guys!  I promise this is only the first of many movies we'll be making.





    I'd also like to thank actor-directors, Tony Shyu and Ezra Emerson for, not only, taking the class but for being such fantastic sports and helping us fill out our bar scenes!  Hmm... not much acting going on there, I suspect.





    One of the great things about working on Jasmine was working with fellow actors and AnDers, Eugenia Yuan, Glen Chin, Byron Mann, Sarah Lian, Kate Sullivan, Simon Yin, Rob Lok, Jane Wong, Cara G, Matt Hendrichs, Jo Jo Yee and Brian Yang.  Thanks for being in the movie, it means a lot to me.






    Once, I finish shooting Jasmine I'll be moving right into hosting Jeanne Hartman's new acting workshops in Hong Kong in December.  Jeanne has been my acting teacher since the start of my career and I'm always proud to bring her out here.  She's top class.  If you want info on her HK workshops, please click HERE.  I hope to see you all there!





    Jason

    I'm an Assistant Director for local Hong Kong Director Dante Lam's upcoming feature film. He has shot award-winning films such as "Stool Pigeon" and "The Beast stalker" to name a few.

    We are currently looking to cast several roles for the film which is an action drama. The story revolves around a group of International Defence Commission officers who escort a virus expert from an Army base in Amman, Jordan to the International Court of Justice. While transporting the suspect, the Escort Team are ambushed. The suspect is then kidnapped by a group of Villains who plan to use the virus as a bio-weapon of mass destruction. An international hunt down for the group of villains ensues with Jon, our lead character, fighting against time to save his niece who has been injected with the virus and held hostage.

    If this is something that interests you then please write back at lightbluejay@gmail.com and let me know where you are located.
    Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

    Best regards,
    Jay
