"Feed My Ego"

A pic of my good self with a wonderful actress named Rye.

You may like to note the look of almost supernatural arrogance on my face in this role. Barely required any acting...

The Asian Prince is, indeed a joy to behold.

I have done the odd piece of acting. Did Bouncers just before Christmas, and doing an Alan Ackyborn thing at the end of March. Rehersals start tonight. Had my script for 3 weeks and haven't looked at it once. Whoops...

Not as handsome as the Asian Prince. He's such a bad boy.

You have a beautiful face.

Mm, fair enough; no real point in doing anything creative unless it's enjoyable. Otherwise one may as well be doing the 9to5 if one wants to experience drudgery.

Mind you, speaking personally I enjoy the discipline of adhering to a rehearsal schedule, watching the play come together, and giving the final performance. But then, I'm weird.

Tried directing, enjoyed it. Mostly doing animation direction, animated a big load of a joint story we all did on here ages ago. Then I kinda accidently deleted most of it.

So I gave up on that for a while. Took up writing for ages, but stopped recently to take a break from it. I think because my moods and states of mind change so much, it feels almost impossible for me to write a 'perfect' piece, without me going back in a different state and hating it later.

So just taking a break from pretty much anything creative at the moment. Playing guitar is about as much as I do, I don't pile on the pressure with that. Yet. :)

Yeah, I get really really nervous on the first night of a play. But I rather enjoy the adrenaline rush of it all. Personally, I love being the centre of attention (nothing says "Look at me" quite like getting naked onstage) and like most actors, crave the audiences acceptance.

Maybe you could have a bash at directing? It's just as much fun, and without the worry of people watching you (though with the somewhat different fear caused by people watching what you're responsible for).

Used to love acting, but wasn't allowed to take it further. I had to do things that would help me fit into society, naturally. I failed them all.

Haven't done much for years. The closest I've done is a little Blues Brothers skit we did for a Stars in their Eyes contest. I've got the video of that, should upload it.

But I'm really bad with stage fright. Really can't cope with being the centre of attention. Do you have problems with that, or just doesn't bother you at all?

Odd you should say that; my favourite ever role was the same one that Frank Skinner played in his only West End acting experience.

Naturally, I was better...~cough~

You look a bit like Frank Skinner's better brother.

And tuck in your tie.

A fair few now, yeah. I'm sorta annoyed at the moment cos I was offered the part of Henry V in Henry V part II, but I've had to turn it down. Bah.

D'you act? I have a dim and distant memory of your saying you do.
