Novel Update #3
It’s embarrassing how little I’ve managed to work on my novel since my previous update two months ago. That said, the urge to get it done is coming back, and I am definitely feeling like I can get back into it like I’ve been previously hoping to. Of course, the undeniable truth is that my…

7 Comedy Actors Who Should Start Taking More Serious Roles
Actors hate to be typecast by playing the same role (or the same type of role) for too long or too often. Yet, there are some actors who have (or run the risk of) typecasting themselves into a genre that severely limits their talents as actors. We all know plenty of actors who are extremely…
