AMDA Graduate Showcase
This was really cool. I had gone to speak to the AMDA second year New York-to-Los Angeles actors back in February and only a couple of them had headshots at the time. What a difference three months make! Wow! Great stuff! So glad to know these kids.
Industry types all over: Michael Donovan, Mark Sikes, Jeff Gerrard, Daniel Hoff, Tim Omundson, Cleveland O'Neal, Steven Nash, Bill Blalock, Stu Levin, James Carey, Todd Breaugh, and of course Keith Johnson as my guest/partner in all things. There were more industry types there, but those were the ones who I knew on-sight. We all stayed around after and did the schmooze thing, giving feedback, enjoying the night. I was especially pleased to connect with so many great actors who were able to say, "I did what you said," and have the impact I'd made on them show--and thank me for it. Awesome.
Yeah, I'm still a teacher at heart.
Standout actors whose work we will all certainly know soon: Julia Morales, Africa Y. Boyd, Mia Moniz, Sundeep Mangat, Michelle Harding (my absolute FAVORITE of all the students--man, did she kick ass!!), Torrie Gregor, Pamela Rodriguez, Molly Durand, Garrett Allain, Chandra Goetz, N'daba Cetewayo, Asa Ambrister, Joanna Solis, Lora Lee Jones, and Ryan Gibson.
Man, there was so much good stuff there! I'm excited to see where these AMDA graduates go from here!
