To Act or To Direct… That Was The Question
I’ve mentioned this in a couple different interviews but wanted to expand on it a bit in a new unit of time. I think it was mid 2005, I sat down with my mentor and teacher, Milton Katselas to discuss my decision to QUIT acting. I was very frustrated. I wasn’t enjoying acting, the business mostly, but it affected my desire to improve my craft in class. So I was going to tell Milton that I wanted to quit acting and pursue directing. I sat across from him in his incredible house and pleaded my case, “I don’t enjoy acting anymore. I love directing. I realize when I assist you Milton, I’m watching you as a director, seeing how you break a story, talk to the actors and tell a story. When I watch a movie, I’m thinking as a director, as a filmmaker, not as an actor studying their choices. I am a director!” I sat back in my chair, I felt good about what I just spewed to him. Sitting next to me, was Art Cohan, the Senior Stage Manager of the Beverly Hills Playhouse, Milton’s right hand and one of my best friends. I looked over to him for reassurance as Milton began writing on his notepad in broad strokes. He wrote the words ACTOR and DIRECTOR and drew a line between them. He turned the pad to me and said, “You have to make a decision today, ACTOR or DIRECTOR… you can only do one… which?” |
