Tonight we worked on sexuality, and it's importance as an actor.

Sexuality is no longer tabu when it comes to TV and film. If this is the industry you choose, then of course owning your sexuality will make your work progress faster. If you own your sexuality, it is another tool or amo in your arsinal. You do not have to chose to let your sexuality show if it is against your beliefs, etc.

I do not judge or hold anything against any religion, way of life, or choices. For that I can only teach what is "human behavior." Not according to law, religion, or personal beliefs. You have to learn real true human behavior from every walk of life. The life that character is living needs to be told honestly from that characters circumstance of his own life. If that way of teaching fits in to one of the categories then so be it. My honesty about life and living is where creating "real life" comes into play. We as humans and mammals, have primal needs. One of those primal needs (which means how we were made) is to procreate which involves some of our sexuality.

You must own and love your character no matter who he is or what he does. If you hate the character that you are now playing, then you have already prejudged your character. You chose everything for him without even giving that characters life a chance. Do not play a character! Be a human being.

I have to make sure you guys are prepared for the world that you work in. I have to make sure you understand all of what that entails. If you choose not to learn it, then that is your own personal decision. However, I will teach anyone and I will help you understand everyone.

Sexuality is not wrong or gross ... It's natural. We were made with sexual needs. We as humans later decided to try and make it wrong to show.

As an actor we must be able to take our own judgment out of our work sometimes. We need to be able to look over situations from every angle.


You cannot be who you judge..
