Yes, I had done one or two with them, but it was actually the TCA's from that movie where my association with When Calls the Heart came about. Lori Loughlin and I are buddies. I'm golf buddies with her husband, Mossimo. She said, "Hey, the producers of the show I'm on really want to meet you." So I met Brad Krevoy, and when we met, he so wanted me on the show that he was willing to fly me up to Vancouver to do the final two episodes of this pioneer show he was doing. And it wound up happening. I've been watching When Calls the Heart from the beginning. I actually preferred watching your character to Daniel Lissing's character only because I'm not really all that young--now I'm in my 40's. I couldn't relate to Dan's character as much. Your character was more mature, but in a good way. So I really liked Bill from the beginning. Well, thank you. I was challenged with portraying him because I don't think they …show more content…
Bill is empowered in the right way this season. You know, I've been around so many great actors. I've played golf with Clint Eastwood. I've played golf with Jack Nicholson. I used to play a lot of golf with Sean Connery. I've observed these guys in real life. James Garner and I played a ton of golf together, God rest his soul. James Garner was one of the most successful television actors ever. He was also a big feature guy in the '50's and '60's. But people know him from The Rockford Files and the Polaroid commercials, right, Ruth? I have really listened to these guys. I've observed them. Actors are like comedians. {laughs} We have to steal all we can for our little bag of tricks. Fortunately, I've been a great listener and observer around some pretty iconic actors, and I relish those moments. We can be talking about golf, or we can be talking about anything. I feel like these guys have such an impact in their projects because of who they are and how they can take who they are and deliver those qualities in a
It has taught me to never give up hope, even when times are hard. My favorite character is Vivian. I liked her a lot because in her life, she has been through some dark times. As a young girl, she was always loving. When she grew older, that same love never died, but flourished. After getting to know Molly, she gave her that same love that she always had. Even though Vivian is an older woman, she heart never grew
Good afternoon fellow HSC students my name is Mr Zec from the University of Wollongong and I’m here to talk about the play The Shifting Heart and the related text Hospital Evening. The Shifting Heart is a play written in 1957 by Richard Beynon, and it is set in Collingwood in Melbourne. The scene consists of an untidy backyard with a large garbage can, the right fence has barbed wire running across it and the left fence is broken with rusty nails in it. It takes place at the afternoon of Christmas Eve to the morning of Christmas day. Throughout the play the language used is usually either stereotypical Australian or Italian.
middle of paper ... ... njoyed Blood Brothers and it really touched me. I think the highlight of the show came at the end when the twins finally became reunited in death. The tension was almost heart stopping and the emotion in the characters voices drew tears in people's eyes. Again Jones acting was substantial as he clutched the gun in his shaking hand and pointed it directly at his brother; the audience seemed to be still in fearful apprehension.
I could see how Harold Hill’s tactic changed from something along the lines of ‘to deceive’ to ‘to woo’ around the song “The sadder but wiser girl”. Marian Paroo’s tactic also changes from ‘to avoid’ to ‘to love’ around “My white Knight”. These actors also projected extremely well, as I could hear everything being said. They articulated well too, which I believe must be hard for them as every character had a southern accent. The actors easily incorporated their character’s goals into their acting and onstage
A president has to have character, right? I mean, if the leader of the free world has no substance, nothing special about him, then how do we as citizens know that he is capable as far as foreign policies go. How do we know that we can trust him to make wise decisions? How do we know that he will tell us the truth? This concept is exactly what fictional president Andrew Shepherd successfully conveys in his “Address to the Press on Bob Rumson and the Crime Bill.” In the movie, The American President, Andrew Shepherd becomes romantically involved with crime bill lobbyist Sydney Ellen Wade. Many characters, including Bob Rumson, believe that the relationship between Shepherd and Wade is hindering the advancement of the country. They believe that this relationship shows lack of character, and it is made apparent to Shepherd through the side comments and actions of those opposing him. In the closing scenes of the movie, Shepherd is found defending himself and his character through the form of a rhetorical speech. He convincingly uses pathos to appeal to his audience’s sense of nationality and pride.
The very beginning of the novel The Death Cure by James Dashner starts off with Thomas, the protagonist, trapped in a solid white room. He is trapped there for months. As he is in the room, he may have thought “ Oh, me, myself and I, solo ride until I die” (G-Eazy). This is a lyric from G-Eazy’s Me, Myself and I. The song is about being alone and not wanting to be with no one. Although Thomas does wish to see and to somebody, he goes perseveres through his problems just like the singer in the song.
"Lost Hearts" written by M R James is a disturbing yet intriguing short story. M R James uses intense descriptions and shows ghostly figures to create tension. Throughout the story unpredicted events take place. Mr Abney’s obsession with pagans and religion makes the reader question why he is so interested about taking in his orphan cousin and how it could benefit him. “The Professor of Greek at Cambridge had been heard to say that no one knew more of the religious beliefs of the later pagans than did the owner of Aswarby.” We learn about the disappearance of the two previous children who had also been taken in by Mr Abney. After the ghostly sightings of the two children with their hearts ripped out, are witnessed by young cousin Stephen, it creates a sense of foreshadowing events and suggests to the reader, the third victim will be innocent Stephen.
Like many of Poe's other works, the Tell-Tale Heart is a dark story. This particular one focuses on the events leading the death of an old man, and the events afterwards. That's the basics of it, but there are many deep meanings hidden in the three page short story. Poe uses techniques such as first person narrative, irony and style to pull off a believable sense of paranoia.
Much work goes into musical , as was the case in “Catch Me If You Can”,which La Joya Middle School drama had the pleasure of watching on January 15, put on by El Diamante High School. The musical was directed by John Sorber and Michael Tackett. This amazing production included many talented actors such as Maverik Dakota Raven starring as Frank Abagnale Jr., Kiley Hoffman playing Brenda Strong, and Jonathan Johns as Carl Hanratty. This incredible play carried a strong lesson. As was seen the protagonist ran from his problems and pretended to be someone who he wasn't. The plot of this story showed us that we can't run from our problems, for that only worsens the situation and is a snowball for our problems.

In the “Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe, the narrator is extremely uncanny due to the reader’s inability to trust him. Right from the beggining the reader can tell that the narrator is crazy although the narrator does proclaim that he is sane. Since a person cannot trust a crazy person, the narrator himself is unreliable and therefore uncanny. Also as the story progress the narrator falls deeper and deeper into lunacy making him more and more unreliable, until the end of the story where the narrator gives in to his insanity, and the reader loses all ability to believe him.

Freud’s archetypes are the most common in “The Tell Tale Heart.” Freud’s archetypes are displayed throughout “The Tell Tale Heart” by how the narrator shows Id, which is the most dominant, as he kills the old man, Superego, as he shows remorse, and planning to kill displaying Ego.
