Hi all you wonderful and talented Stage32 people!!! :-) My name is Robert Sherry, and I'm an actor. I live in Burbank, California and love it! I have extensive training from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Hollywood, CA, as well as a lot of my experience or training coming from doing Theater, primarily at the famous Hudson Theater on theatre row. Along with that I've done a few promos here and there, a few short films, and was fortunate enough to (we'll see next month) be featured in David Ayer's "Fury" which comes out next month. (October 14th) Needless to say, I am working my butt off to be the best actor and person I can be. My ultimate goal is to be a "working" actor that is known for excellence and be able to work with some of my favorite actors, directors, and writers in the industry. To get there, I know there is SO much talent out there. SO many great up and coming writers, directors, and actors, etc. (industry folk in general) SO, I just wanted to let everyone out there know, I am here, I am ready and willing to give 100% and the best performance I can give to tell your stories because I absolutely love what I do, and I love what we all do. I wish EVERYONE on here the best of luck and success in your goals and your future. I wish more of the great art and stories would see the light of day, and I feel like Stage32 has given us the opportunity to bring all of us artists together so that we can create something beautiful for the world to see. I had an absolutely amazing time at the Stage32 meetup/108 Stitches premiere, and I HIGHLY encourage any/all Stage32 members to attend these events because it's absolutely amazing the talent and people we have in our community. It's so great to come across and meet with such genuinely nice people. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!!! **Also, if you haven't seen David Rountree's 108 stitches yet, check it out, it's fricking awesome, and I'm looking forward to seeing "Cut!" in December! :-)

Expand commentHi Robert, reading your introduction gives me the butterflies. Glad we could connect. Candice, as for the NYFA, I travel to NYC quite a bit for acting projects and I've worked on shorts with upcoming NYFA directors as well. I have to agree with Robert, the quality has risen over the years and I see them more frequently shooting in NYC and they also seem to have better equipment than they used to have. I also agree, that you get out, what you put in. I studied the directing course at Fordham Films in Harrisburg and there were students, who didn't even know, how to properly use a computer, yet they weren't willing to put in the work or do their own research. I was able to graduate with honors from there, but I also put a ton of research and learning into it during my free time. The sky's the limit, if you put in the work, no matter, where you learn!
Thanks for the info, Robert. And I totally agree with the idea that what you put in, is what you get out. I'm going to learn as much as I can and meet / network with other filmmakers and to enjoy avoi...
Expand commentThanks for the info, Robert. And I totally agree with the idea that what you put in, is what you get out. I'm going to learn as much as I can and meet / network with other filmmakers and to enjoy avoiding what is predicted to be the 2nd really nasty Calgary winter in a row, lol. I'm glad to hear that major improvements have been made on their programs, because even if you put everything into what you're doing, if a "link" in the proverbial chain is broken, well...you know the rest. I'm doing their 2 month program (can't afford the 1 yr program), so it'll be interesting to see how that goes. I'm looking forward to it to say the least.
Glad I could help! :-) Pretty interesting actually, someone from England just moved into my apartment building and started classes at NYFA (down the road) today. She's doing the full 3 year Bachelor's...
Expand commentGlad I could help! :-) Pretty interesting actually, someone from England just moved into my apartment building and started classes at NYFA (down the road) today. She's doing the full 3 year Bachelor's program though. I'm not too sure how the 2 month program is, but I definitely hope it teaches you some new things and you definitely get your money and time worth there! :-)
