ALWAYS LOVED THE MOVIES AND TV...ALWAYS WANTED TO BE IN THEM OR A PART OF IT. DIDN'T LIKE AUDITIONING SO EXTRA WORK WAS PERFECT FOR ME...YOU GET TO BE A PART OF IT WITH NO PRESSURE...I WAS IN MY H.S. PLAY. I PLAYED GRANNY IN ON BORROWED TIME...I REALLY HAD TO BE ON MY TOES CUZ OUR GRAMPS GOT THROWN IN LATER ON IN THE GAME CUZ THE ORIGINAL GRAMPS GOT A REAL PART IN A REAL PLAY...ANYWAY LOTS OF IMPROV AND ANSWERING WHERE HE JUMPED TO BUT BRINGING HIM BACK TO WHERE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE CUZ OTHERWISE THINGS WOULD NOT MAKE SENSE TO THE AUDIENCE...VERY HIGH PRESSURE....I COULD DO WITHOUT...I OFTEN HAVE ACTOR'S NIGHTMARES WHERE I AM IN A PLAY AND I GO COMPLETELY BLANK AND THERE IS NO SCRIPT IN SIGHT AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHO I AM OR WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO SAY OR DO...IT IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE....THOUGHTS ON ACTING...I ADMIRE THOSE WHO DO IT. IT TAKES A LOT OF COURAGE TO JUMP IN THERE AND DO THAT AND ENTERTAIN OTHERS. IT CAN BE VERY SCARY.
