On Sunday my acting coach told my partner and I that we were done with our scene. That’s not to say that we performed the scene perfectly, but more of that we demonstrated that we understood the scene and the characters and were able to present a believable interpretation of the scene. I know for myself, I would still need a lot of work to add in a believable Bronx accent (I left out the accent on Sunday’s performance) and I would also like to add the little nuances that would make my character slightly creepy and introduce doubt to the audience (only makes sense since the play is called Doubt). But ultimately my coach was happy because he could see me become more grounded and connected in each moment. I wasn’t trying to “act”. He said that right now their goal with me is to really ground me as an actor and help me exude more confidence as a leading man.

Last Sunday I appeared on the show Restoration Realities with my wife. It’s a show about restoring old houses and in the show the two hosts walk us through a couple of projects. That was fun and we got a new screen door too.
