In this issue

We’ve seen them in our favorite films that we often snuggle up on the couch for. We also watch them on our favorite TV shows and somehow there will always be a tweet worthy quote that awaits. Yes, we know them as the brilliant scene-stealers. These are the actors who can command a scene and captivate the audience’s attention in the most unapologetic ways. Take for example our cover girl, Sarah Rafferty (pg 75) who plays Donna Paulsen in “Suits”. With witty lines that cut through an average moment like butter, fans are treated to gut-grabbing laughter as well as gut-wrenching dialogue between Donna and her counterpart Harvey Specter. Then we have colorful characters like Pepper in “American Horror Story”. Played by Naomi Grossman (pg 45), she is the kind of actress who can create such a buzz surrounding the news of her return for a second season and level with the best of the freaks. And what would you say about “Better Call Saul” actress Julie Ann Emery (pg 31) who has made Betsy Kettleman a fan favorite, turning what was meant to be a guest star role into a recurring role garnering hashtags like #TeamKettleman and #Kettleheads.
We love to love them, yet it’s all too easy to say that it is because they are simply talented. When looking deeper into the real-life person behind these influential characters, there is an undeniable commonality among them: the pursuit of great acting and fierce training doesn’t stop here.
And we would never want it to..
