Secrets to Working With Famous Actors

Here's another acting and modeling quick tip with me, Aaron Marcus. I've been very fortunate. I've had the opportunity to work with some amazing actors, and actually I had scenes with 2 Academy Award-winning actors. One of them I can tell you a little bit about. The other one I can't mention anything about only because it was on a TV series. The person's not a regular on the series, and I can't give out any information because it hasn't aired yet. But one of the people who I worked with was Judi Dench, and there's some real tricks to working with famous actors. And one of the problems is that it's easy, at least for me, and I assume for a lot of people, to feel intimidated, to feel a little nervous. I mean, this is Judi Dench, you know, or this is, you know, another famous actor. And there are some strategies that I always use, and I wanted to share them with you because hopefully that you will have the opportunity to do that as well. So one of the things that I definitely decided on was not having any contact with the actor. I mean, we could rehearse a scene, but I wouldn't just hang out. I wouldn't make small talk. I actually kind of hid. From the actor, from both actors. I didn't want to be influenced in any way, and I was just trying to calm myself down enough, get into character so that I wasn't viewing a famous actor. I was just dealing with another character in a scene. And I tell you, I found that to be incredibly helpful because I know that if I would have hung out, started talking, getting involved in conversations, I would have felt a lot more distressed before doing the scene. So just as a suggestion, if you're going to be working with a well-known actor, you might want to hide a little bit. And once again, I'm not saying don't have rehearsals or anything like that, but, you know, just really sit back, prepare, be ready to shoot the scene, go in there and do it. And then afterwards, I can tell you, with, with both actors, I had lovely times, great conversations, and it was just an incredible experience. Incredible experience.

If you've had the opportunity to work with well-known actors and you had some strategies that you used that worked or maybe didn't work, please, um, post it.
