some how get out of the small confines of this cable access that maybe you know so everything just needs a chance to build and grow the quiet life of desperation and that leads into we have these amazing guest today we have well i do a lot of things although i'd like to hear more about what my son does i'm very proud of him for life it was really an actor i reenact primarily revolutionary war characters colonel edward hand is who i'm known for and lawrenceville i also reenact george washington every july fourth at the morgan museum and about ten years ago i was asked to do albert einstein i am now the official albert einstein or piii de princeton on also and he has done reenactments for from everything from nursery schools to nursing homes and everything in between you've been in plays a musical at the bucks county playhouse tretton one more month while the new mccar i guess what people need to know is more battles of the revolution took place in new jersey and in any of the thirteen original colonies states and we don't get the recognition where do well even though we have trenton in princeton mom when you when you enter the state there's a big sign that says welcome to new jersey it's a postage stamp were you trying to attract a lot of lists i think it should have washington crossed as you write write it will get back to the more that we have your create he did a great job and so i wrote most of it and during rehearsals i'd sit in on them and write more things i'd just seen the actors improvise and how they worked with each other which is a lot of fun so if the roles were accepted to the second city improv school so so it's interesting order that i was actually i did the comedy studies program at second city my junior year at brandeis i studied abroad and the land of  chicago was fun because when i returned i had thought a questionnaire that was you know how accepting were they of american culture if my nine out of ten and you know so that was my away from a campus adventure but i did that guy couple years ago and he knew of my interest in theater and history and he just he has stablished the colonel hand historic march but there's never been an actual colonel hand and he said bill you can be colonel hand now i've been a colonel hand longer than a colonel hand was colonel had and so every year usually the first saturday january we have this march we fire off the cabin at shaba concrete which is next to notre dame high school is shaped like a tricorn hat and by the way you can put any fruit filling you want but because of george washington we only fill them with cherry like it which is a myth right the whole cherry tree yes well actually  washington or your next care or what kind of lairs your approach to a character development i know it's kind of different i guess improv and what maybe does washington do you want to go first because you go first ok so in the case of of washington obviously all you have are portraits but i'm not about to effect whatever accent you may have had because we don't really know what it was in the case of einstein what i actually did was i watched a number of tapes going back films of einstein and then i realized if i tried to sound just like him no one would understand a word i said or his german accent was that that xerxes at least i'm basically doing dr ruth as a man and that's why i developed that example when he arrives in princeton the first thing he did was he went to the five and ten and bought a comb and then he went to the baltimore which was an ice cream shop and restaurant on that street and he saw a graduate student and he said i want that and it was an ice cream cone vanilla with chocolate as he would have said shrimp goals prickle yes sprinkles i thought he said he wanted the student one hundred one and then someone  for who's your audience or it's it's a wide range i do a lot of libraries i do a lot of senior citizens groups and i was just asked to go to a theatre in northeastern pennsylvania every year they bring in several reactors i think it's funny because i'm following ulysses s grant they've already had a george washington there but they're bringing me again and i have i have done schools thing from three and four year olds people in germany who tried to get away from it because of the mob caesar nazis didn't let them and he once said a snail and abandon his shell still remains a snow  national characters so for me to do sketch comedy and acting and the know what's the difference what sketch comedy and just regular writing what you know well the big thing is a lot of people think that sketch comedy first sketch comedy or you want to be funny it's a thing of like ok this is a funny character gets written a funny way how can i bring that out how can i showcase that best it's improv it's very different in that you're just coming up with the character yourself like something clever interesting premise interesting thing of like the world you're in i could be playing you know someone that you know or someone that you've seen something like that so a lot of things conspire you so kind of thing and just you know when you watch him and you get them and people laugh because they they've seen that you know they know that type of person andrew is jack sparrow for how we play this after being harry potter  much because you don't want to get to the point where it's not funny anymore i'm so one big thing is just being able to go through and find ways to make things funny again and not like huge you know drastic changes not like in the last week a lot of that stuff and harvey korman would really have a hard time anyway and there's nothing wrong with doing a little imitation for example years ago i was a the play the man who came to dinner oh yeah as you know i played the doctor and then after that i was sense of you over one of my favorite quick einstein stories is his stepdaughter said there's a sheep dog down the street it has so much further it can't tell what's head from its tail a only happy mistake absolutely and in improv it's totally true there are times when you go and be like ok you know if you start playing a character you're seen partner will come on and say something that totally throws you off and then if you go with it and you incorporate that in  you know or something doesn't work or an actor forget to get you a line yeah and you just you go with it and so that's where and where improv supplement sketch comedy even the death of a big part of it it's you know it has that time or it can come and you say ok what can we do different career how do you keep your mouth to keep your motivation how do you keep your i guess if you want to call your artistic ambitions well i think after a while you realize that you're not going to be exactly where you want to be there are things i'm still working on i currently working annual colonel had to store march at ten o'clock at the lawrence township me this building and then on march tenth we're doing a little early that will be the princeton's annual pike day celebration around prince and yours truly interview in this exercise so reno is going to play a person that speaks only in jibberish and she's being interviewed by ed and tim is a talk show host and he's going to interview ask her some questions and answer is being interviewed because she's the leave the first thing that she said when she stepped onto the moon was i wish i had spent a little less time on the waterfall powered rocket of a little more  comet which actually was producing musical tones as it went through space which is very unusual because there aren't spaces very hard for sound to transmit but it was such that it allowed her to to called adjustments or new choice in this situation we're going to have had and serena are going to be a young couple deeply in love and they want to get married but they need the blessing of serena's debt who is a very very stubborn man and is valid very reasonable but somehow can be wooed or swayed because of his love for his daughter but he's really very particular about who's daughter going to be with ok and i'm going to stop you and give you a new adjustment to play in the scene you keep playing the scene just with that adjustment added to it ok it's not about the adjustment just it's in there continuing the scene in that way as if you're drunk or whatever ok so when you guys just begin you well i wish i could say the same but you know my daughter meant everything to me and frankly i think she could do a little but i'll tell you tell him about your your your your your scientific that you're working on t enough money to support my daughter really fast one and he doesn't have to be the only one working i can make a lot of my or did you say you work did you hear me paying attention to know why he wants to i don't blame him i don't know why anybody would want to you know do anything where's my camera when i need a picture of a the situation is you are his daughter's school teacher and you're coming in there to complain because the teachers is always at the door is always complained the teachers mean to her and she's been giving her bad grades and you know your daughter is better and you coming in to see what just what's going on but may start falling in love with ok and what we're going to do is we'll start the scene and the next sentence has to begin with the last letter of the sentence that the your partner so every every every opportunity i have to be with my daughters teachers i will i will take her on is of the so rally your daughter is silly yes it's really quiet and doesn't really raise her hand you know i mean chiefly can be not as a sort of certainly but but i think that she's she's very bright she clearly understands the material judging by your homework i don't think that she's being judged fairly yes because she doesn't really raise her head and she doesn't participate it's not easy to judge her i don't hear from her she just kind of you have to say what she's like  fifteen years seriously yes so so i imagine you've seen a lot of of students over the years the times i know my daughter likes your class a lot and and and i can i can understand why yes i can too i mean you know all of the students in the class they love being here we have a great time we're doing a lot of work and she should you know we should just encourage her to participate and i think you'll be happy with the result progress and and your class if that's if that's all right two lines the opening line in the closing line you've got to fill in the middle some now and get there together the first line is wheat what about my trust fund and the last line is  mine's a large one that's words wait what about my trust fund is the first one anybody can say go with it and the last line has to be mine's a large one and he knows what he's doing and does now yes i have i used to have the same issues and i had a good financial advisor and i just don't worry about it anymore you know but but i had what about it it's nothing everything's going up that's so only direction it's the one it up i carry oh yes so don't worry about anything going down it never goes down you know like that i'm down like the roof of the factory when you had but and it's really doing pretty well doing anyway how is your life my girl at o'shea's like she's you know she's always whoa that's actually why i'm asking i would really like to have a wedding i can these people you don't like they don't do favors for you we let him up for his life hiding do that for them so you know and we don't worry about the trust fund the trust fund is doing
