Sci-Fi/Civil War
On thursday I was in San Diego attending Comic-Con, along with Jim Cameron, Sigourney Weaver, Zoe Saldana, and Jon Landau, rolling out 25 minutes of 3-D footage from AVATAR. 7,000 film/sci-fi/Cameron fans filled H Hall. Followed the footage we did a panel discussion and Q&A. It was a highly energized crowd and they were totally enraptured. The rest of my 18 hours in San Diego was spent doing many interviews with international, national and internet press. It is great to finally be allowed to talk about the film. I arrived home in NYC on friday evening, and on saturday morning my wife, T, and I drove to Hagerstown, Maryland where I spoke at a Civil War conference that night. The subject was "Acting Historical Figures". That crowd was made up of about 100 Civil War devotees, attending a three day seminar on "Stonewall" Jackson. Although the crowd numbers and subjects were very different, both events featured very passionate and knowing fans. I enjoyed the events equally, and feel really fortunate to have been invited to participate in both.

ReplyDeleteJust want to say I admire you for making it on your own and not coasting on your father's money. Very few people would do that. I wouldn't have the guts to. Enjoyed last nights Law and Order Criminal Intenet. I thought you were the guy on U2 on it, lol! If you ever want to do a guest blog on my Blog, I'd be honored. www.GiftsandFreeAdvice.com/free_advice

Just contact me through a comment box there if interested. Wish you continued success on your great career. - Phil
Slang - I love your work. It would be nice if you'd post about the actors you've worked with who have influenced you the most and how they've influenced you. How about it?
ReplyDeleteSaw you on Psych this evening! Great job, even though it was a short bit.
ReplyDeleteI really loved your role as Stonewall Jackson in God's and Generals. You portrayed him with excellence.
Steve! Give us a post about your workout routine please. There's lots of us grey hairs in the world that'd love to know your secret to those awesome guns. Keep up the great work, pal.
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed that Jackson conference. Glad to hear you & T had a good time.
ReplyDeleteLong time fan, first time comment.
ReplyDeleteFound your blog link posted on an IMDb message board.
Just have to tell you how much I've enjoyed watching you act all these years. You are a true professional--100% commitment & discipline that is so lacking in many actors today. Maybe it's an East Coast thing. Maybe it's your training. Maybe it's working live onstage in front of an audience. Maybe you're just the best there is at what you do.
I wish you continued success--hopefully you won't be so busy you won't have time to blog. Great reading.
My best friend Will and I will celebrate 30 years ourselves next November. We figure we're just getting started...
Keep working. I'll keep watching.
