DESCRIPTION

We continue our “Conversations on Craft” with a look at acting. Our goal is to provide different perspectives on the craft and career of acting. This week, we showcase three wide-ranging interviews with actors on acting from recent episodes of the Digital Production Buzz:

James Castle Stevens spent 16 years in Los Angeles as a professional actor. He started by studying with notable instructors like F. Murray Abraham and John de Lancie, but James soon started working on such television shows as “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” “The Drew Carey Show,” “The King of Queens,” and “Heroes.” He also directs actors for theatrical productions.

Suzanne LaChasse is a Los Angeles-based producer and actor. She and her husband, Ryan Williams, own and operate Screen Actors System, which won the Backstage Magazine Reader’s Choice award for Best On-Camera acting class in Los Angeles. Suzanne is also currently a lead actor in a six episode series of an edgy new comedy/crime series called: “Sketchy.” She shares her thoughts on what it takes to survive as an actor in LA.

Oliver Hollis-Leick is a trained actor specializing in motion capture for the last 13 years. He has played Master Chief, James Bond, Iron Man, Spiderman, Captain Scarlet and hundreds of other characters. He co-founded “The Mocap Vaults” to train a new generation of motion capture performers and filmmakers.
