Even though Ramadan has come and gone for this year, I would still like Sunday in particular be the day (not necessarily the only one) where this space is used to go a little deeper than the usual silliness. At the same time though, I won’t be forcing the issue if it’s not there. […]
Came out of my first network call back a little while ago. Had my full ‘TV Star’ confidence going, nailed the scene in one take…and now we move on. Not always possible and not everyone’s method, but it’s just the reality: even when you’re getting some ‘yes’s like I do, it’s still 98 percent […]
