I had a great push at last nights rehearsal that inspired me. I've been struggling with trying to go to a dark place to create my character and make him not only believable, but both likable and hurtful. After my research, notes, and working with other actors, I finally nailed it! My director and on set coaches were thrilled with my performance, and my fellow actors all complimented me on scaring the hell out of them because I almost made the other actor I was working with...cry. I knew I was there when the director said, "Now there's my captain." Now, to perfect him before we go to filming in two weeks.
