Movie 2 of 2026 in the books. Is This Thing On? Went in expecting more laughs, came out realizing it’s really a relationship movie wearing a comedy jacket. Arnett and Laura Dern are fully committed. Very Bradley Cooper in how much it cares about chemistry and character. Not bad, just not that funny

Actors who understand how decisions are made work more than actors who only focus on performance. Both matter. But one gets you hired. #ActingCareer

Another deep morning coffee thought...Actors who book consistently don’t audition like they’re being judged. They audition like they’re being trusted. #MorningCoffee #ActorLife

Every time the industry changes, someone announces the end of cinema, television, or culture itself. Then a great project comes along and ruins the funeral.

Actors who book a lot don’t audition louder. They audition clearer. Big difference. (Also applies to meetings, emails, and life in general.)

The Bride feels like Mickey 17 all over again. Same release lane, lots of “bold vision” energy, not enough myth. Human-looking monsters don’t travel well, and the Joker 2 comps aren’t helping. youtu.be/LJraZRHhFwQ?...

The industry isn’t “dead.” It’s just allergic to vague ideas, bad prep, and people who confuse enthusiasm with readiness. Always has been. #IndustryInsights

Experience changes your perspective.
Not because you know more, but because you finally know what doesn’t matter.

Most careers don’t stall because of lack of talent. They stall because of poor timing, unclear positioning, and too many yeses early on.
Momentum is built by restraint long before it’s built by exposure.

The only thing that Jake Paul has similar and comparable to Anthony Joshua is that both have first names as last names. #PaulJoshua

You can’t control ACTRA negotiations, market slowdowns, or when the next big series shoots in town. You can control your readiness, your relationships, and the way you show up when the window opens. If you want momentum later, build discipline now.

The “Dodgers in four” crowd must have been watching a different sport. The Blue Jays aren’t underdogs, they’re unbothered. Keep doubting, it fuels them. 🇨🇦🔥 #BlueJays #MLBPlayoffs

The Jays fought to the 18th inning with only Vladdy and Varsho still batting from the starting lineup. The Dodgers had all nine starters till the end, and still, we made them earn every out. #WorldSeries #BlueJays #Game3
