Introducing the Know Small Parts newsletter!
If you’ve read Know Small Parts: An Actor’s Guide to Turning Minutes into Moments and Moments into a Career, (with a foreword by Richard Dreyfuss and endorsements from Kevin Costner, Lou Diamond Phillips and more), then you already know where I got the name for this newsletter. And you already know how much I strive to take the vagueness out of acting – as a craft and as a career.
If you haven't read the book – I have great news! Subscribers to the Know Small Parts Newsletter get Chapter 2 – Breaking Down the Scene as my gift to you!

I’ve shared my process, experience, and wisdom at universities from Los Angeles to New York, and with my private coaching clients. Now I’ll be sharing with subscribers! Whether you’re a seasoned pro, or an aspiring actor wondering how to get started, I can help you make the most of your talent and efforts.
My 30-year (and counting!) career as a working actor started after I attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, the oldest acting school in the world. As I began working in film and TV, I also studied with the Roundabout Conservatory, N.Y., the Beverly Hills Playhouse (with Milton Katselas), and Ivana Chubbuck Studios (with Ivana).
But my biggest education has come from working with industry luminaries and award winners like Leonardo DiCaprio, Gene Hackman, Shirley MacLaine, Juliette Lewis, Dick Van Dyke, Samuel L. Jackson, Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Christoph Waltz, Walton Goggins, Elizabeth Banks, Hayden Christensen, Jamie Foxx, Kate Bosworth, Will Smith and so many more.
I've also had the privilege of being directed by Quentin Tarantino, Sam Raimi, Anthony Hemingway, Cary Joji Fukunaga, Todd Holland, Tony Scott, Peter Gould, Martin Campbell, Louis Letterier, Jake Schreier and many others!

To get things started, I’ll be offering subscribers Chapter 2 – Breaking Down the Scene of my book, Know Small Parts: An Actor's Guide To Turning Minutes Into Moments and Moments Into A Career, as my gift to you!
Subscribers also have access to all archives including the 3 questions I ask myself when I break down a scene. Whether I have 5 minutes or 5 months to prepare, I always start with the same 3 questions.
I’m new to this platform so please let me know if you have a question you’d like me to address. I’ll be selecting some of these questions for future newsletter topics (with an emphasis on topics that can benefit more than just the single individual who asked).
