Review: Elio, Pixar's Sweet Alien Adventure

1 week ago | dailyactor.com | Lance Carter

When the first trailer for Elio came out, my eight-year-old daughter immediately declared that we had to see it. So, we planned a daddy-daughter date. We grabbed a quick bite to eat and played a few rounds of electronic Battleship at the restaurant (she beat me, of course). But the real highlight was the movie because she absolutely loved it.
Tom Hiddleston on Embracing Life’s Small Moments and the Soul of "The Life of Chuck"

1 week ago | dailyactor.com | Lance Carter

In The Life of Chuck, the new film from Mike Flanagan based on the short story by Stephen King, Tom Hiddleston stars as Charles Krantz, a seemingly ordinary man whose extraordinary inner world is revealed as his life is told in reverse. He’s joined by an all-star cast that includes Mark Hamill, Karen Gillan, and Chiwetel Ejiofor in a story that explores memory, mortality, and the beauty of the everyday. For Hiddleston, the role felt instantly meaningful.

Casting directors Jessica Kelly (Euphoria, Y2K) and Lisa Parasyn (Schitt’s Creek, Lost Girl) know a thing or two about finding the right actor for a role, and in the new Prime Video comedy series Overcompensating, they had their work cut out for them. With hundreds of roles to fill and thousands of submissions to sift through, they worked closely with series creator and star Benito Skinner to bring the show’s unique tone and offbeat characters to life.

Interview: Robert Westenberg on Rediscovering the Spotlight and Channeling Neil Diamond in "A Beautiful Noise"

1 month ago | dailyactor.com | Lance Carter

After years of acclaimed work on Broadway, including standout performances in Into the Woods, 1776, and Company, Tony nominee Robert Westenberg stepped away from the New York spotlight to focus on teaching, directing, and family life. But when the opportunity to play Neil Diamond in the national tour of A Beautiful Noise came calling, it was an offer he couldn’t pass up.
Review: "Lilo & Stitch" is Exactly What My Kids Wanted

1 month ago | dailyactor.com | Lance Carter

As the father of two young girls, Lilo & Stitch has been a mainstay in our house for years. Well, mostly Stitch, because as my daughters say, “he’s adorable.” They’ve watched the original movie and the TV series on repeat, and I’d bet we have at least a dozen Stitch stuffies scattered around the house. And ever since they saw the first trailer for this new live-action version, I kept getting asked when they could see it.
Interview: Ramon Rodriguez on Crafting the Quiet Cool of Will Trent and the Joy of Playing a “Strange Cat”

1 month ago | dailyactor.com | Lance Carter

There are some shows where you just want to hang out in that world, and for me, Will Trent is one of them. From the first episode, I was hooked and to be honest, I kinda want to be Will’s best friend. Ramon Rodriguez, who stars as Will, laughed when I told him that. “You want to be Will’s best friend? That’s amazing. I love that,” he said.
Daily Actor: Monologues, Acting Tips, Interviews, Resources

There are two things I know to be true: Tom Cruise is our last action hero, and Tom Cruise is our last movie star. And he proves it once again in Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning, the (hopefully not) series finale that’s basically two-and-a-half hours of pure adrenaline. The movie is basically one massive, action-packed set piece that flows seamlessly into the next and into the next. But even with all the chaos and spectacle, it doesn’t skimp on character.
Review: 'Friendship'

1 month ago | dailyactor.com | Lance Carter

Getting new friends as an adult is admittedly hard. When you’re young, you pick them up left and right and they come and go just as quickly. The older you get, friends fall by the wayside, and seemingly before you know it, you’ve got no one. At least that’s how it seems for Craig, played brilliantly by Tim Robinson in writer Andrew DeYoung’s directorial debut, Friendship.
Review: Thunderbolts* to the Rescue

1 month ago | dailyactor.com | Lance Carter

I’ve heard a lot of good things about Thunderbolts*, the latest Marvel movie opening this week—but you never really know with those early reactions. They could be fanboys or shills, so you always have to take them with a grain of salt. But man, did they get it right. The film kicks off with an action-packed sequence featuring Yelena (Florence Pugh) on a mission for Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus).
