Most of us don't know the name of Rowan Le Compte, an amazing artist. His work in stain glass is truly amazing at the American Cathedral. I don't think I can do just to this interview in my own words so I hope you will go and listen to it.

I am so excited and pleased with my new book,The Right Questions for Actors.As all of you know in Hong Kong that were in my workshops I LOVE working with actors and helping you to become self sufficient when preparing for auditions and acting jobs.
I really want you to have a manual or tool book that you can use when you can't get help of your coach.
I am excited to finally have this workbook to offer to actors, directors and writers.
I love working with all of you and this workbook is an extension of that work. <...Read more
HELLO HONG KONG
Even Lucas (photo)knows.... that it is important to have the right tools AND know how to use them.
That's what actors learn in my workshops. You learn about Actors Tools and how to use them. So join me in May for some intensive workouts in my 2-day Acting Workshops. You will learn about the tools that Professional Actors use to create exciting, believable roles.
I am so happy to be returning to Hong Kong In May. I met and worked with so many wonderful artists the last time I taught my wo...Read more
I’M BAAAAAAAACK!
I have been absent blogging for a while, friends, while I was finishing the rewrite and proofing of my new book which will be available very soon. It is called The Right Questions for Actors. This book will be available when I come to Hong Kong for my next group of workshops. More on AnD very soon.
I am very excited and pleased with the book and the look of this manual. I believe it will prove to be a manual that no actor will want to be without. In fact I have created it in a small hand...Read more
New Friends from the LA Party come visit me on AnD
Thank you AnD for arranging a great get together in Los Angeles. I wasn’t able to meet everyone there but had great conversations with the people I did meet. It was such a kick to meet people I had chatted with on AnD. Sommer, Melly, Warren. Of course it was fabulous to see Terence again, having worked with him in Hong Kong. And Grace a big thank you for all your hard work.
I also met some great new people. Unfortunately I didn’t get ...Read more
Dear Friends at AnD.
I was so proud today watching the changing of the guard in my country. I know it is easy to criticize. We all do it and so often. But I looked at almost 2 million people shoved together so close and yet there were no arrests, no incidents. So it can be done. People can live with each other in harmony. It was more important to share hope and an event that meant so much to so many of us than to let small problems get in the way.
I only wish we could all do this more of the time....Read more

Great Hotel in Hong Kong
I have been asked a lot about where I stayed when I went to Hong Kong a few months ago. Hong Kong, like New York City, can be a challenge so I want to share with you a wonderful choice for a hotel in Hong Kong.
As you know it is always easy to find an expensive great hotel in most cities but looking for a mid-priced hotel that gives you your money’s worth is not always as easy to find. Well I was so fortunate to find a wonderful hotel in the Kowloon area of Hong Kong.

It feel hopeful here where I am and I hope it does where ever you are too.
Almost everyone I know has had to face a different challenge this year. Something they had never had to face before but what I have seen in everyone including myself that we are stronger than we think. Glad to see that!
Bless you all and I look forward to seeing all of you again s...Read more
