The charity I will be running for in September is: Housing Justice – The grassroots homelessness charity that works directly with the…

6 figure actor will be running a half-marathon in September – no big deal, don’t worry about it.

We are increasingly being forced into positions that keep us weak. Financially weak. Spiritually weak. And the worst part is, we think we can’t do anything about it. How do I make $8 (£5.91) last for six days? That was the question Ashlea Bassham had been struggling with. 32p per meal. Until she came upon a secret facebook group, 50 people strong….

unf*ck your acting in 5 Books

Book #1 saved me from being a 32 year old man still afraid of checking his bank account (I was 31 when i read it) In Book #5 I discovered the meaning of life Book #2 was how i survived being humiliated on set. Book #3 said that i could become a Macbook Pro, if I just figure out my backstory. I did and i did. Book #4 confirmed my deepest beliefs: I was a fucking amateur. Now I am not. None of these are about acting. All will make you a better actor. If you prefer to watch your books, I’ve…

All either for beginners, or relying on the “get more lucky by doing this” notion. But nothing concrete. And nothing really for us. The actors in the…

Everything has gone higgledlepiggldy Due to tech issues – I have had to fire my old email provider. I like these new guys though – if youre still here by the end of this – there’s something new for you to play with at the bottom. Higgledy f*kn piggledy HARD I think about this Kennedy speech nearly every week: We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; We can pick our hard, or we can have it thrust upon us without…
