We use actors more than once if we're pleased with their work and their courtesy towards others, however, being able to hire different actors can be a freeing experience. We put out notices, sent e-mails to people who have worked here before to send their resumes to the director. With Tom I was aware of his work before he came to the city. I'm fortunate to work with Tom. He's quick and intelligent.
Respect is what the director deserves.
I won't tell the director what to do or who to hire. I never say don't. As a performer I respect what the director should do. A director can be the most brilliant around, but with the confines of this type production, he must be able to manage time. With Tom, I liked his work.
