I wonder how much of this is due to child actors playing similar roles to their own personalities well whereas with adults, it's due to the art/skill of the actor?

Answering a FAQ: "Why do you play so many evil characters lately?"
Every actor has a particular type they can play well, for some reason or another. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with who we are in real life, but it's just what we do well. Example: Travolta is amazing as the Lovable Loser. When he's in Welcome Back Kotter and Saturday Night Fever i...
I think an experience like Wil's makes one appreciate that bond/sense of family even more.

After twenty years, I finally got to say this.
A lot of incredible and wonderful things happened at the Calgary Expo this weekend, and when I'm not as exhausted I'll write about all of them. Until then, though, here is one of them that I really hope you'll spend 5 minutes watching: If you can't see the video, you can watch it right here a...
Yeah, I think I got a little of that dust in my eye too.
Thanks for sharing that with us.

This is crying out for a caption. I'll choose my favorite, and send something neat* to whoever writes it. Submissions open throughout the weekend, one per person, and can only be left as comments here (it's too difficult to track on Twitter or via e-mail). *definition of 'neat' will be at my s...
Dude, that looked like an absolute hoot'n-a-half! Thanks for posting the vids and as for "embrace the cheese"... I am SO going to use that, lol.

Friday at the 2010 Phoenix Comicon - the awesome hour and rock band
Since I didn't write about it while I was there, I'm recapping some highlights of the 2010 Phoenix Comicon in the next couple posts, starting with Friday. Friday: I have felt creatively stagnant for months, and unable to write much of anything. I suspect it's because the creative part of my brai...
Absolutely brilliant! I never realized that Bob and Data were one in the same. Thanks for sharing!

Yesterday, I saw this video linked at Reddit. It's one of those things that I haven't thought about in years, but the instant I saw it, it unlocked some memories, one of which I left as a comment: I was a huge Night Court nerd when I was a kid, and from time to time I would ask Brent to do ...
Dude, that's 2 of my 3 favorite shows you've been on recently (Congrats). Now all you need is a guest spot on Psych for the trifecta, lol. Looking forward to it!

I'm heading up to Vancouver later this week to shoot an episode of Eureka! The SyFy (I know they're my new employers, but it still pains me to write that) Channel put out the following press release this morning: Actor, author and blogger Wil Wheaton of the popular television series Star Trek: ...

I watched this while trying to drink my coffee this morning. I say "trying" because I just sat here with my mouth hanging open until the whole thing was over. This is pure brilliance. Anyway, it seems appropriate to share this as I'm going out the door to start work on The Big Bang Theory: ...

It turns out that all this talk about getting excited and making things, uh, got me excited to make something. I don't remember the precise moment this hit me, but I'm pretty sure it happened during one of those times I felt stuck on a story or something, and decided to get out of my office and ...

Dude, the Ted Knight impressions were great! I spent the rest of the day saying "Later in the Hall of Justice" in my head :-)
And dude, please, for the love of all that is holey (like my socks) no more drinking games! I spent like 30 minutes in the latrine after that one (my fault for listening at work I guess) ;-)

Does acting like a teenager count? If so, I'm good to go ;-)
Although whoever said we're "only as old as we feel" never pulled their back picking toys up off the living room floor, lol.

Same here. Lady Gaga does nothing for me but Ms. Lewis' version has been stuck in my head since you posted it.

We went to Napa for our tenth anniversary. For the record: being married to your best friend rules.
Yeah, I grew up on TNG too.
Gates McFadden came to Bosnia while I was down there in '96 and I missed getting to meet her by about 14 people :-( The one thing that stands out most was... Holy Crap was she skinny!
