ashmore is perhaps best known for his roles as jimmy olsen in smallville and as steve jinks in warehouse 13 ( both american tv shows made in canada ) .
loyalists will surely support this proudly canadian feature nonetheless , which could lead to limited domestic theatrical play . harper ( sara canning ) isn ' t exactly hitting on all cylinders after a major tiff with her boyfriend ray ( aaron ashmore ) , followed by his rejection of her ill - timed marriage proposal , complete with the engagement ring she wants him to put on her finger .

ashmore is familiar with previous interpretations of jimmy olsen , particularly from the richard donner movies and the recent superman returns film . in fact , sam huntington , who played jimmy olsen in superman returns , is a friend . because of their busy schedules , they haven ' t gotten a chance to talk about it , but it is something aaron would like to do in the future .
my roommate mike [ daugherty , one of the screenwriters of superman returns ] told him that i got the part , and he text messaged me , like ' yeah ! way to go aaron ' and stuff . i haven ' t talked to him because i ' ve just been all over the place , but i ' m looking forward to sitting down with him , and being like ' big screen , small screen . who knew ?

while aaron is one of the three principal characters in the space network show killjoys , where he plays john jaqobis , one of three bounty hunters bringing to justice bad guys who operate in a planetary system called the quad .
best known for roles in much loved series smallville and warehouse 13 , canadian born aaron ashmore’s acting career began in his youth , appearing in a small role in the aruthr hiller - directed film , married to it . from there , he appeared in canadian television productions such as are you afraid of the dark ? and due south before making an appearance in an episode of the nickelodeon series animorphs .
ashmore originally was up for the role of jaime waite for the teen medical program in a heartbeat , but didn ' t make the cut . christopher ralph beat him to it .
as john jaqobis on syfy’s kick - butt summer series killjoys , aaron ashmore gets to blast into outer space . jaqobis , older brother d’avin ( luke macfarlane ) , and fellow bounty hunter dutch ( hannah john - kamen ) make a formidable trio , serving warrants for various individuals they’re tasked with recovering for the reclamation apprehension coalition ( rac ) — while also trying to navigate what could be an impending civil war .
ashmore originally auditioned for the role of duncan kane , veronica’s ex - boyfriend , on rob thomas’ teen - noir drama . that role eventually went to teddy dunn , but ashmore was called back in season 1 to play troy vandegraff , who briefly dated veronica before it was revealed that he was just using her to help him smuggle steroids into the country from mexico .
ashmore starred in two different episodes of this horror anthology series : in 1993 , he played billy , a young boy who visits the 13th floor of his apartment building with his sister , and in 2000 , ashmore took on the role of jake , a jock who had to team up with a popular girl to save the world from a threat against the planet .
coming to his personal life he was dating zoe kate . he has a good relation with her girlfriend and they decided to get married . in 2014 zoe kate was known as the wife of aaron richard ashmore . they are happily married couple and there is mutual understanding between both of them . his personal life and professional life are well managed . since he is married to a girl proves that he is not gay .
the screening information for aaron ' s new movie , ' i put a hit on you ' , at slamdance is in ! the 2014 slamdance film festival will take place in park city , ut from january 17th - 23rd , 2014 .
he is an amazing character and an extraordinary actor . he has shined in all of his roles in tv shows and pictures and this has made him the actor he is today . he is not only an astonishing actor but also a very handsome man and his attractive smile has flattered women in the past and will keep on doing so in future . he is none other than the very brilliant and very versatile aaron richard ashmore .
killjoys isn’t the first genre show ashmore has been a part of . he also photographed superman as jimmy olsen on the wb’s smallville , betrayed veronica mars , and retrieved objects for warehouse 13 .
in 2010 , ashmore starred as marcus , one of the three journalists who investigate a cult said to practice human sacrifice in a small town in poland , in the horror film the shrine .
ashmore’s television career flourished with further roles in series and tv movies such as crime in connecticut : the story of alex kelly , love letters , emily of new moon , run the wild fields , the famous jett jackson and la femme nikita before transition into more film roles . 2001 saw ashmore appear in the films the safety of objects and treed murray , both roles expanding upon his versatile repertoire .
as season 3 of killjoys ramps up , ew spoke to ashmore about what fans can expect from johnny — who’s gone through some recent changes — as well as what he loved about his previous parts .
there is something always very satisfying about playing death scenes ,
said ashmore , adding he was killed off in the first season of the show warehouse 13 where he played as agent steve jinks .
ashmore , 32 , has filled many sci - fi roles during his career but expects ottawans to best recognize him for his role as jimmy olson , the intrepid photojournalist he played on the tv series smallville .
fans of veronica mars are probably the ones who know aaron the best , from his role as troy vandegraff in several episodes of the show ' s first season and one episode in year two . so what was it like going from one snarky blonde to another , as jimmy is rumored to be romantically involved with chloe sullivan in smallville ' s sixth year ?
i feel really , really lucky to be able to do that . somebody ' s gotta do it , so i will definitely volunteer to be the one that goes from one beautiful girl to the next ,
aaron says .
he was cast as jimmy olsen , first love interest of chloe sullivan , for the sixth season of smallville on the wb television network and continued to play him into its eighth season . [ 2 ] two years after leaving the show , ashmore returns to play his character ' s younger brother on the series finale . coincidentally , his friend sam huntington played olsen in superman returns and the two have both appeared in veronica mars . ashmore ' s twin brother appeared on smallville in earlier seasons , and he was offered by director bryan singer to play jimmy olsen in superman returns before huntington . besides his recurring role on smallville , ashmore had roles in the 2007 films palo alto , privileged , the stone angel and the christmas cottage . aaron starred the horror film fear island , with haylie duff in vancouver . urltoken announced on october 6 , 2010 , that he will have a role in maple pictures comedy film servitude , which stars joe dinicol , lauren collins , linda kash , and john bregar .
as for troy’s later return , ashmore thinks it allowed veronica to be the bigger person as she worked to prove that troy was indeed innocent : “it was interesting to have her stand up for somebody who’d totally screwed her over . ”
in 2011 , ashmore joined season 3 of syfy series warehouse 13 , where he played the role of atf agent steve jinks , a human polygraph of sorts – who has the unique ability to discern whether someone is lying or not .
, in richmond , british columbia , canada . he is the son of homemaker linda and manufacturing engineer rick . when they were 10 , their mother was a part of a club called the
multiple births association ,
or as aaron likes to call it ,
the multiple rugrats .
the support group , located in alberta . . .
a regular human , ashmore’s nate was a struggling musician who was childhood best friends with kenzi ( ksenia solo ) , human best friend to succubus bo ( anna silk ) . nate’s return to kenzi’s life sparked a romance , but to keep him safe from magical threats , she wound up breaking up with him a few episodes later . “i don’t think that he ever found out anything about all the magic and the dangerous things that were going on , and it was kind of sad because he was falling in love with her , ” says ashmore .
“shawn’s character interacted with clark so much , ” ashmore says . “i almost didn’t audition for it because i thought ‘there’s no way that they’re going to hire the twin brother of a guy who was heavily featured on the show . ’” luckily , he went to the audition .
aaron has already done a day of shooting as jimmy olsen and is impressed with the
well - oiled machine
they have at smallville .
it was actually the first day that they started back . even with a 3 - month break or whatever it is , they just jump right back in . so it was great ,
he said .
the series also gave ashmore a chance to play two different versions of the character when a magically imbued object in the mystical warehouse split jinks into two . “it was interesting to shoot because you’re literally playing one very stern grumpy version of the character , and the other half is this flamboyantly gay version of him , ” remembers ashmore . “the idea is if you mix them together you get who steve is . but when they’re separated , they’re just polar opposites . getting to play both of them and interact with myself through a green screen was really fun . ”
“i thought he was an interesting character because he wasn’t your stereotypically calm or centered buddhist , ” ashmore recalls . “he could be a little uptight or negative at times . so it was funny that he was [ buddhist ] , because you wouldn’t assume that . it was just something he adopted to help center himself . ”
aaron does not know at this time how many episodes of smallville will feature jimmy olsen , but he has had time for some outside projects . one project is currently filming - a movie called palo alto also starring ryan hansen ,
dick casablancas
of veronica mars .
i don ' t know when it ' s going to be out , but keep an eye open for it , because i think it ' s gonna be great ,
aaron tells us . and although he does not know what the plans are , he wouldn ' t rule out a return appearance on veronica mars if they should want to bring back troy .
i think veronica mars is a great show , so if they wanted me to , i would love to . i love the show , and i love the character of troy , too ,
he tells us .
“it doesn’t mean that he’s a completely different character , ” says ashmore , “but some of the things that have happened to him over the past two seasons are showing . it’s interesting because d’avin is playing some of the lighter stuff and keeps feeling like he’s joined this family , so he’s opening up , while john’s closing up a little bit . ”
it’s these additional dimensions to his character that keep ashmore so excited about playing john : “there’s obviously this real heart to him , but at the same time he also surprises me as an actor by shooting someone in the head , or blowing somebody away . getting a chance to play a three - dimensional character has been pretty fun and exciting . ”
aaron ' s first s mallville scenes are set at the daily planet , where he shares screen time with allison mack ( chloe ) and tom welling ( clark ) .
i got to do a couple scenes with allison mack , and i did a scene with tom welling as well . both were very welcome , and it was just totally cool . they were just like , ' come and play ' . it was really great ,
he revealed .
as as result , ashmore says he “obviously responds” to similar material , but he also credits the direction of his career to the rising popularity of genre storytelling : “as an actor , you’re going out for a ton of different things , but if half of it is genre stuff , the likelihood that you’re going to get into some of that is pretty high . ”
“there’s maybe a little bit of darkness that’s crept into john this season , ” ashmore says . and no wonder — last season , john’s girlfriend , pawter simms ( sarah power ) was killed , leading him to not only shoot her killer ( mayko nguyen’s delle sayah kendry ) in revenge but also leave his partners ( and their ship ) and set off on his own .
the actor didn’t know about his character’s true intentions until the got the script for that episode , which he says helped his performance . “i think it’s interesting because then you’re not playing into anything or foreshadowing that he’s going to be a bad guy , ” says ashmore . “you actually think that he’s going to be this really cool guy and that he and veronica are going to get along very well . ”
last season on warehouse 13 , walter sykes ( anthony michael hall ) devised to destroy the warehouse and get vengeance on the regents . although it backfired that resulted to his demise , sykes was successful at destroying the warehouse and therefore , killing several others in the process . mrs . frederic ( cch pounder ) , steve jinks ( aaron ashmore ) and h . g . wells ( jaime murray ) were all killed . this leaves the last remaining ones , pete lattimer ( eddie mcclintock ) , myka bering ( joanne kelly ) , and artie nielsen ( saul rubinek ) with the tough task of traveling to the other side of the planet to find an artifact that may or may not exist . what kind of artifact is it ? what could be the ultimate price of possessing it ? if the team is able to find it , how then will it impact things on warehouse 13 season 4 ? which warehouse 13 character are you ?
souvenir from the set : “when killjoys ends , hopefully not for a couple more years , i would definitely take my jacket , ” says ashmore . “they custom make these jackets , and they have all this really cool armor and patches , and all that stuff on them . we also have these futuristic guns that look like regular guns , but they’ve been modified so they’re really cool , so i’d take that , and definitely a few little science - y things . ”
“there was this huge aspect of [ jimmy’s ] personality that was very insecure and and constantly worried about chloe loving clark that felt a bit soap - ish in a way that i wasn’t crazy about , ” ashmore admits . “but i really liked the interactions with clark and how interested jimmy was in superman and tracking him down . they definitely had a lot of great moments where he was putting the pieces together that clark is superman , which felt very iconic to me . ”
as for the popular book series itself , ashmore says while he never read all of it because he and his brother were in their late teens when shawn was starring on the show , he did pick up a few books when his brother got cast . “i thought they were really fun , and that it was a good little series… but we may have missed it . if we were five or six years younger , we probably would have been the perfect age range for them . ”
“ [ troy ] was so nice to veronica and she’d had such a crappy time of things that people were like , ‘this guy’s great . ’ it lulled them into a false sense of security , so when he turned out to be a jerk , people were so angry at him , ” says ashmore , who enjoyed playing troy’s sense of humor and wit . “he could have been such a nice guy and great for veronica , but like most people , he turned out to be an ass . ”
“when i did the first one , i was definitely a fan of the show . i was the perfect age range for that , ” ashmore recalls . “by the time i did the second episode , i still watched it , but i was a little older , so i was into slightly older things . but most of my friends watched the show , too , so it was something that you did that all of your friends were going to watch , and you knew that so that was exciting . ”
photographer marcus ( aaron ashmore ) and workaholic journalist carmen ( cindy sampson ) are on the verge of a breakup , but carmen thinks she can salvage the relationship at the same time she can boost her career by breaking a missing person’s story about an american backpacker who disappeared somewhere in poland . going against her boss’ orders , she hops over to a small village with marcus and her babe - in - the - woods assistant sara ( meghan heffern ) . threatened by the locals but refusing to leave without answers , the trio come upon a clearing in the woods engulfed in a dense white fog . inside the fog is a demonic statue that seems to be alive . then the villagers get really pissed about trespassing on their “shrine” and carmen and sara soon find themselves dressed in white for a cult sacrifice . i had a strange feeling that meghan heffern was channeling heather matarazzo’s character from hostel : part ii , and you know how that turned out for her . ( watching the torture / death scene involving a mask with sharp metal thorns being pummeled into the victim’s eyes , i had a nice flashback to barbara steele’s death at the beginning of black sunday ) .
“i’ve always been a big fan of science fiction and fantasy , ” says ashmore , who was a big chronicles of narnia and tolkien fan when he was younger . “i was a huge star trek fan . i watched next generation every day whenever it was on , and then i got into deep space nine which i really , really liked . i also loved the x - files , which was a huge show i didn’t miss . my parents , my brother , and i would watch it every week it was on . ”
the role may have been in his sci - fi wheelhouse , but it did challenge him in another area : as nate , ashmore had to play guitar on camera . “it turned out fine , but it was a little nerve wracking pushing your boundaries around stuff like that , where you’re like , ‘there’s going to be a lot of people watching me sing , and i’m not a singer . ’ but that’s a great thing about playing these roles . sometimes you end up pushing yourself a little out of your comfort zone . ”
“that show had a really big fan base , but also the character i played was gay , and that really resonated with a lot of people , ” says ashmore about his role as steve jinks , a new warehouse agent introduced in the third season of the syfy drama . jinks was hired to replace myka bering ( joanne kelly ) before being partnered with claudia donovan ( stitchers ’ allison scagliotti ) . it was revealed that not only was jinks gay and a buddhist , but that he also had the ability to tell when anyone is lying .
“i couldn’t believe that i booked the part , ” laughs ashmore of his role as jimmy olsen , who worked alongside clark kent ( tom welling ) and lois lane ( erica durance ) as a photojournalist at the daily planet , where he the first person to get a photo of ‘the blur’ ( clark’s superhero moniker at the time ) . jimy also married and divorced clark’s best friend chloe sullivan ( allison mack ) . he would later die on the series , but not before learning clark’s secret and telling his ex - wife he would always love her .
he was showned as jimmy olsen , first love attention of chloe sullivan , for the sixth period of smallville on the wb tv network and sustained to act him into its eighth season . two years after goodbye the show , ashmore returns to play his attractiveness ' s younger brother on the series ending . unexpectedly , his colleague sam huntington played olsen in superman returns and the two have together seen in veronica mars . urltoken publicized on october 6 , 2010 , that he will have a part in maple pictures funniness movie servitude , which stars joe dinicol , lauren collins , linda kash , and john bregar .
cloaking the hitman in anonymity is another miscalculation – without a clear threat , much of the urgency dissipates . the script ' s shortcomings fortunately don ' t put undue limitations on the actors , who remain enticing through much of the film . canning plays the linchpin , her outrageous ( if implausible ) behavior providing the impetus for the couple ' s inconsistent chemistry . ashmore at first appears sympathetic as her frazzled boyfriend , until revelations about his personal history tip the power balance back to neutral . working within some obvious resource constraints , stewart and clark keep the film looking nicely polished , sustained by james klopko ' s lucent cinematography .
i ' m not the most gregarious personality , so any amount of attention makes me shy or nervous , but i ' m not opposed to that at all . people respond to the character and care about him , and that makes me proud that we ' ve created a character together with the writers that people really care about , and that ' s the biggest compliment to me .
anne blythe has a great life : a good job , close friends , and a potential book deal for her first novel . when it comes to finding someone to share her life with , however , she just can ' t seem to get it right . when her latest relationship implodes , and her best friend announces she ' s engaged , anne impulsively calls what she thinks is a dating serviceâ€”only to discover that it ' s actually an exclusive , and pricey , arranged
after all , arranged marriages are the norm for millions of women around the world ; maybe it could work for her .
a few months later , anne is traveling to a mexican resort , where , over the course of a weekend , she meets and then marries jack . and initially , everything seems to be working out .

additional resolutions include no longer using the royal we as the staff actual consists of one person but you know . . . baby steps .
- playing at the festival . the festival runs from jan . 17th - 23rd , 2014 in park city , utah .
than hawke is one of the most naturally plausible screen actors working today , but regression is the film that has finally defeated him . not even he can sell you on the psychological turmoil of a man who’s haunted by a sachet of cup - a - soup .
this is , believe it or not , one of the less absurd twists of alejandro amenábar’s supernatural thriller , in which hawke plays bruce kenner , a minnesotan plain - clothes cop who’s investigating a suspected local outbreak of devil - worship .
from its occult premise to the voguishly dingy 1990s period setting and plentiful shots of greenish oil refineries , the film desperately wishes it were true detective – though its plot feels heavily inspired by the notorious
west memphis three
case of 1993 , in which a trio of arkansas teenagers were wrongly convicted of murdering three young boys in a stomach - churning blood rite .
the victim here is still alive , but only just . she’s angela ( emma watson ) , a frail and troubled teenager whose father john ( david dencik ) confesses to having sexually abused her , even though he has no specific memory of the crime . baffled , kenner turns to dr raines ( david thewlis ) , an english hypnotherapist with both the appearance and personality of an illegally dumped armchair .
the doctor uses regression therapy to draw out the gory particulars , and gory is indeed the word for them .
angela , it transpires , was an unwilling participant in some dread satanic ceremony – and further details gleaned from her waifish runaway brother ( devon bostick ) and distressed - leather handbag of a grandmother ( dale dickey ) paint a truly boschian picture of child sacrifice and ritualistic rape in the moonlit backwoods . the initially sceptical kenner is shaken , and suspects he might be the next target of this murderous cabal . and this is where , among other things , the cup - a - soup comes in .
as the director of the others and open your eyes , amenábar is no stranger to psychologically vivid thrillers with ghostly overtones , but regression feels depressingly like journeyman work . a few flourishes make an impression – close - ups of the hooded figures evoke the flash - frames of the demon pazuzu in the exorcist – but they’re exclusively visual , and tend to be defanged by the corny sound effects ( so much backwards whispering ) and snarlingly unsubtle score .
by all rights , watson should be the film’s unnerving heart , but her role – through the fault of the script , rather than the actress – is pure dramatic cardboard . as for the wisdom of building a did - she - didn’t - she guessing game around a vulnerable young woman’s rape testimony , the choice feels at best unfortunate .
the real west memphis three case has already been well - served by cinema , in atom egoyan’s underrated procedural devil’s knot , the paradise lost documentaries , and amy berg’s excellent west of memphis . all of those films took a sober , analytical tack that was at shivery odds with the lurid material . regression fails by trying to have it both ways : you just can’t feel sceptical and scared at the same time .

jon knautz’s sophomore effort the shrine surprised me . it’s a blend of certain genre horrors – satanic cults , torture porn , demonic possession flicks – and out of the mix it creates something heady , and if the beginning comes across as a bit ho - hum ( characters follow the horror handbook by making stupid decisions ) , the ending makes up for it by subverting audience expectations in a number of ways . the horrors , when they come , are visceral and uncompromising – and upon further reflection , political . if the shrine indulges our sense of superiority in watching these kinds of films by having its characters make predictable decisions ( a character gets multiple warning signs – from dreams and irate villagers , but ignores them ) , it punishes them ( and the audience ) by upending the “final girl” trope completely . it reminded me of when richard falcon described miike’s audition ( and hitchcock’s psycho ) as a “breach of contract between filmmaker and audience . ” i’m not sure that the shrine does it as well as those films , but i like that it tries .
sure , i ' m an evil demon . but i love modeling on the side .
the shrine plays a little bit with conventions . one example is how our victims see the villagers as demons / monsters , a tactic that is eventually revealed to be misdirection , but it’s a good one . the movie has some other neat tricks , especially during the final minutes when it suddenly becomes the evil dead , with a newly possessed “deadite” laying waste to the poor saps who obviously haven’t been doing their cult thing long enough . i have to tread lightly here when discussing the plot , lest i give away too much . i will just say that there is a reason why the polish spoken by the villagers isn’t subtitled ( and i hear that it’s butchered polish anyway , but no matter for english speakers ) . i will also tell you that because the ending packs a decent visual punch , the fact that the whole sequence plays out in a different language is of no lasting consequence , a testament to the power of horror in the visual medium . no , they’re definitely not in poland ( more like ontario ) , and we’re never told the origins of the evil statue in the fog , but that’s not the point anyway .
there’s something of political commentary in the shrine , as evidenced by the need for carmen to intervene in a situation that she has no business doing , as unprepared she and her friends are for the mission . when they get to the village , they find that they are subject to forces they don’t understand , and they misidentify the source of the danger – the villagers / cultists are the “enemy” only because of the barriers in language , custom , and religion . sounds like a jab at america’s foreign policy , doesn’t it ? even without that subtext , the film entertains and matches its fatalism ( the “chosen” ones are already doomed , like ti west’s house of the devil or sam raimi’s drag me to hell ) with a sense of cosmic justice ( the one character who is the most reasonable and cautious escapes alive ) . the shrine seems more fresh than a lot of its counterparts in modern horror . i think it’s worth a look .
i am so intrigued by ed & lorraine warren . i h . . .

born in chicago , illinois , in 1890 , the daughter of a stagehand and an actress , clara kimball young made her stage debut at age three . she became a skilled actress in vaudeville productions and stock and then began her association with the film company vitagraph in 1909 . at this period , she was married to james young , an actor and director she had met in salt lake city stock . under his tutelage , she quickly became a polished performer for vitagraph , maintaining a hectic film schedule there . although she appeared in a few comedies , she was often typecast in matronly roles . in 1914 , a prominent fan magazine named her the most popular screen actress in america .
the picture version adheres closely to the stage drama . a regrettable number of the skillful touches by which the author made clear the acts of his characters have been left out , but enough of the original material remains to hold the interest at all times , and to point the moral . albert capellani ' s direction is excellent throughout , and clara kimball young succeeds admirably in indicating the moods of laura murdock . joseph kilgour is seen in his original character of the broker - - a flawless piece of work , rockcliffe fellows as john madison , louise bates as elfie st . clair , frank kingdon as burgess and walter mcelweas as jerry contribute superior quality impersonations .

you have cast for both theatre and commercials . what are the major differences that actors need to know before walking in the room ? np : the first major difference is commercial auditions are always filmed and typically theatre auditions are not . therefore , the actor needs to be aware of the fact that with a theatre audition they need to reach a live audience and with commercials it needs to be more intimate . although both mediums require impeccable timing and rhythm , the difference is in the preparation . when casting for theatre , actors are generally given the material in advance , and for commercials they are not , so actors need to learn to prepare on the spot .

dress
the part ? what do you prefer to see from actors ? can being too casual kill the audition ? what is overdressed ? what is underdressed ? np : for commercial auditions , an actor should come in dressed as the character , especially for the callback . no matter how good the performance may be , millions of people will eventually be watching , and we need to be able to picture you as the character .

fun facts : 1 . the original play opened in new york on 19 december 1909 .
laura murdock is a young actress . her husband , a drunkard , is killed by a fall , laura goes to new york to get an engagement and finds herself blocked at every turn by the petty jealousies and politics of the profession . willard brockton , a wealthy banker , has been asked a production and has refused . he meets laura and becomes interested , furnishes the producer with money demanding in return that laura be given the best role in the piece .
theodore roosevelt was the first u . s . president to have his career and life chronicled on a large scale by motion picture companies ( even though his predecessors , grover cleveland and william mckinley , were the first to be filmed ) . this presentation features films which record events in roosevelt ' s life from the spanish - american war in 1898 to his death in 1919 . the majority of films are from the theodore roosevelt association collection , while the remainder are from the paper print collection . besides containing scenes of roosevelt , these films include views of world figures , politicians , monarchs , and friends and family members of roosevelt who influenced his life and the era in which he lived . commemorative events up to 1921 are also included as well as silent documentaries compiled from earlier footage by the theodore roosevelt association between 1919 and 1928 .
another common mistake actors make is to say too much in the room . it ' s fine to ask a question or two if it helps , but try and remember that we are usually on a very tight schedule and unless we engage you , less is more . talk about sides — is it better to have them completely memorized , or would you prefer an actor to just be
familiar
with it , so that they are not committed so strongly to one way of thinking / performing ? np : i prefer actors be very familiar with them , but not have them completely memorized . i believe fully memorizing the material can lock off the performance to spontaneity , and actors stop listening . there is such a thing as being over prepared .
madison finds gold and hurries to new york to marry laura . he discovers the facts of the situation , and laura confesses that she burned the letter brockton had promised to send . deserted by both men she becomes desperate , and tries to fling herself into the dissipations of the night life of broadway .
she is disgusted , however , and attempts to end her life in the river . she is rescued and taken to a hospital . madison is notified , and learns also of the fight she made to remain true to him . he hurries to her side just in time to let her know he understands and forgives , and she dies in his arms .

np : i firmly believe training is the key to a long and successful career . there are many wonderful classes available to performers at all levels . it is also up to the actor to try and create opportunities for themselves rather than just sitting around waiting for the phone to ring .

at 66 , the salty - tongued young became a hollywood correspondent for a 1956 tv show hosted by a youthful johnny carson ( “clara kimball young , carson correspondent” ) . the new medium aired silent films , renewing the fame of many former stars , including young . but by then young did not want to talk about silent films . in 1955 she told an interviewer : “i’m living today” ( as she raised a toast ) . “i’m in the rocket ship era . to hell with the past . ” young died in 1960 at the age of 70 ( “clara kimball young , pioneer actress , dies” ) .
it ' s professionally acted by the entire cast ( save robert montgomery ) . beautiful constance bennett makes her character of the dreamy and uncertain girl totally believable : with a restrained , anxious attitude , never totally at ease . ( in real life bennett had a somewhat different character ! ) and anita page as her more earthy sister . clark gable has a small but important role , one of his very first – and he looks quite natural . robert montgomery is not a great actor , and his character in this film is a bit annoying . adolphe menjou comes across as more sympathetic .

do you put more weight on actors who have high - profile representation , agents or managers ? np : no . it doesn ' t matter who your representatives are ; at grey we have strong relationships and enormous respect for all the agents and managers we work with . they really are the unsung heroes of this business and do not always get the credit they deserve . i have met incredible talent from the most powerful agencies to the smallest boutique ones . i call actors with no representation directly all the time . if an actor is talented , it doesn ' t matter how i find them , just as long as i do . however , i will admit to being slightly biased towards my fellow new yorkers !

eventually brockton claims the customary reward of such assistance , although laura holds out as long as possible . the following summer she goes to denver for a stock engagement , and falls in love with john madison , a newspaper writer . he cannot afford to marry and brockton , who comes west to take laura back with him , sneers at the idea of his marrying the luxury - loving laura . laura promises to wait , however , and brockton promises madison that if laura returns to him he will let madison know .
a few comments on the perfumers : . robert montgomery is not someone i can imagine anyone’s throwing over even a modest income for .
this does not explain why young gave up a namesake company . surely she and garson could have created a new moniker that reflected the appeal of the star , rather than naming it after garson , an unknown . as far as her creative control was concerned , it was not referred to again in the press . furthermore , young’s career began to decline and never recovered . whether it was due to garson’s less able handling of direction and production or the difficulty of prewar stars to reach postwar audiences is unclear . it was probably both .
emily wilding davison , arrested nine times and force - fed 49 times , decides to draw attention to the suffrage cause and disrupt the derby . with a return train ticket and another to a dance that evening in her bag , she steps in front of the king’s speeding horse anmer , possibly to attach a wspu banner of suffragette colours to its bridle . she dies four days later of a skull fracture and internal injuries . her funeral is attended by thousands of women and tens of thousands lined the streets of london as her coffin passed by .
beautiful constance bennett is very convincing as a woman who frankly admits her moral standing — until true love complicates everything . urbane adolphe menjou , as the rich businessman who controls bennett , is slightly more sympathetic than usual in a role he could probably have played in his sleep . and robert montgomery gives his patented friendly portrayal as the steadfast fellow who earnestly loves bennett — until he is told the truth of her situation .

what are some challenges that actors face now that are new to the industry as it evolves ? np : i believe that technology has had a major impact on the industry , but rather than looking at it as a challenge , i think we should see it as a positive development . all of the emerging content outlets have opened up new opportunities to work and be seen . most importantly actors are able to have more control over their career and create their own original content .
actors never want to be thought of as unprofessional or glib when given an opportunity to be considered for a job . so dress the part , it can never hurt .

overdressed is anything that is distracting to your performance or the people watching , anything that you are not comfortable in . no shorts and flip - flops , people ! and , definitely no busy patterns — they stroke the camera and give everyone a headache . remember , it ' s a job interview , and actors should always treat it as such .

how do you feel about social media in general ? does it help to get actors
out there
and
network
or can it be hindering ? are there pros and cons ? can someone ' s social media persona negatively impact his or her professional goals ? what are the plusses ? i believe social media can be a very effective tool in someone ' s career . more and more these days , entertainers are referred to as
brands .
and , social media presence plays a big part in the equity of their brand . as you mentioned , it can help an actor get themselves and their work
out there
and be seen by many more people than in the past . self - promotion is very important in the digital world , just make sure whatever you post is compelling !
and , as with anything , some discretion is necessary . i think actors should be cautious about revealing too much personal information or posting something that could make them seem unprofessional or unemployable . also , they have to be aware of the fact that things live on the internet forever . so , think twice before hitting send on that x - rated photo or tweeting that drunken rant . casting directors use google !

talk about representing a product . can a social media presence or personality damage an actor ' s chance at representing something on commercials or in print ? np : i believe having a positive presence on social media could be very beneficial for certain brands . however , as with anything , there are two sides to this discussion . it may be difficult for us to cast a performer that is overexposed . an actor needs to be able to melt into the character in order for the audience to suspend belief .
