February 14, 2010 was the first date in a year long endeavor, The Love Project, aka, A to Z with Meryl and Me. For one year, biweekly I will upload a video starring me, from one of 26 Meryl Streep scenes. Each scene will be from a movie that starts with a letter from the alphabet. For instance, A is for Adaptation. B is for Before and After and so on ... get it? To learn about the behind the scenes happenings, go to my blog.
I also encourage you to subscribe to my youtube channel where you can comment and rate each video. There are even videos that I will periodically post to update you live!
If you'd like to book me for work, browse through my website. This whole project was designed to make me a better actor whether that means learning a new accent, a musical instrument or braving the African Safari, I plan to do it with gusto. Please tune in every other week or watch daily and read read read, there's so much to say and I love the company!
My absolute admiration for Meryl's acting started before I actually knew it. The first film I ever saw her in was Kramer vs. Kramer and I had a very strong reaction to her character. Perhaps if anyone other than Meryl had played it, that would not have occurred. I got the book and read it after seeing the movie and I was very young! Since then I've been blown away by her performances in The Devil Wears Prada, Doubt, Julie and Julia to name a few.. Prior to this idea that popped in my head, inspired by the movie Julie and Julia, I had only seen 8 of her 46 films. So before this film watching frenzy and random, out of a hat, selection of films, one could say I was a fan but maybe not the biggest in the world. This is no offense to Meryl. I'm a chick flick watcher and some of the drama or intense action was never my thing. Oddly enough, I love to play those roles, I'm just not one to seek them out for free time viewing pleasure. Still, every performance I've watched adding to my list of 8 films, has stopped me in my tracks. She's amazing. My fandom is growing ... yes, I just coined that word but I know you know exactly what I mean. I've learned so much about her process, the language she uses to describe her characters, and even some Meryl idiosyncrasies that I had never known before.
I could go on and on and if you've been reading my blog, you know I already have. I tell you the latest, the greatest and the silliest. I share with you the in's and outs, ups and downs and all the dance
arounds. Check out the pictures on this site as well as my blog which very soon will be populated with stills of me from these Meryl films. Oh, and again I say, comment. Tell me what you think. I obviously have a thick skin or I would never attempt this. It's coming to your heart, from mine.
