Ask Me Anything (AMA) Wednesday 7/17 to Thursday 7/18- Using Social Media Content to Forge Your Own Path as a Performer and Creator

I'm one of those actors who spent years at a university learning how to be...myself, and called it an acting degree. Sure a lot of us here can relate to that, and we are all basking in the pride of our parents, right? (Is this thing on?)

Many of us actors can feel like we are floundering out here in...

Armie Hammer interview

It is wild to think about the last few years of Armie Hammer's life. Imagine going from A-list celebrity to selling time shares. Even more so, imagine walking into a time-share sales office and seeing Armie Hammer behind the desk.

His whole life story is pretty out there. His father ran a renowned art gallery in NY that got caught selling fake works by famed artists too. There's a documentary called "Made You Look: A True Story About Fake Art" that' all about it.

Ashley Renee Smith

Wild is an understatement.
