It would be difficult to go to the movies or turn on the TV right now and not see Chris Messina. He will be in six films by the end of the year, including Ruby Sparks and Celeste and Jesse Forever, and is currently on Damages, The Newsroom, and the upcoming The Mindy Project.
This could be Jason Sudeikis’ biggest year on Saturday Night Live, since his impersonation of presidential candidate Mitt Romney will be in high demand. Except the actor might be ready to move on to other projects.
While Jeremy Renner is on an incredible role since starring in the Oscar-winning The Hurt Locker, that doesn’t mean he’s necessarily happy with everything he does on screen. In fact, in an interview he actually reveals that he’s disappointed with his role in The Avengers as the bowman Hawkeye. He also talks about how his career has changed from small indie movies to a big budget action star.
Christopher also talks about being thrust into the Broadway run of La Cage with only 7 days of rehearsal!
To be a successful actor, you have to have a system
We love our dog acting stories here at Daily Actor, and this is one of the better ones: the breakout star of the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival is Michael, a deaf pit bull who stars in The Two Gentlemen of Verona.
Although movies like The 40 Year Old Virgin are hilarious, I think Steve Carell is at his best in supporting roles. In fact, in the Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones movie Hope Springs about an aging couple that is looking to put the spark back into their relationship, Carrell plays a more subdued role than usual as the couple’s therapist.
If nothing else, Jeremy Renner has ensured his future job security by becoming the ultimate franchise player: not only is Renner taking over the Jason Bourne franchise in The Bourne Legacy, Renner also is also now a key piece of the Mission: Impossible and The Avengers franchises. Renner has since become a familiar face in action films, something he wasn’t known for when he became famous from his role in The Hurt Locker.
People will try just about anything to get out of jury duty.
But I’ve never seen anything like this: a judge presiding over a high-profile attempted murder case in Brooklyn delayed the trial for several hours to allow one of the jurors to audition for a television show. But it wasn’t just any show. In one of those moments that seems to prove that the universe has a sense of humor, the juror received a call to audition for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
