I’ve always wanted to act since I was a child. My mind was made up during a game of dodge ball after school when I was about nine or ten where I got hit by one of the tennis balls we were using. I curled up into the fetal position and moaned in pain. Everyone surrounded me, extremely concerned. Then I suddenly stopped writhing, pointed up at them a...
I did a world premiere adaptation of William Faulkner’s novel The Sound and the Fury at the Undermain Theatre Company in Dallas. We were nominated for awards and almost got to perform it at the famous Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago. I also enjoyed To Kill a Mockingbirdat the Dallas Children’s Theatre. I edited a documentary called Nobody Knows: The...
Well, I wouldn’t be in Utah if I weren’t LDS; I’d have never thought of living here. I pray over parts. I don’t pray to get parts, but I pray after I get them. When I audition, if I don’t get it, then I don’t want it. Why should I let it bother me? I have faith in the casting process. That’s the only healthy way for an actor to view things. I pray ...
When I decided to leave Arkansas and OBU, I was on a spiritual pilgrimage; I was praying for the Lord to help me find my way home. I had an intense desire to figure out his will and follow it. Then, on Christmas night 1993, I had a heavy, depressed feeling. I felt I should give up on acting. I felt I had frivolous dreams that would not amount to an...
I work through it as an actor, doing my films, editing, and theatre arts projects. The logo is a shooting star, with the name coming from that cathartic experience I had that Christmas night. But more significantly, it refers to the state of the world. I feel the “Imminent Catharsis” is the Second Coming. Everything feels like there’s this big emot...
I’ve got a lot going on. Acting-wise, I have two films in August—a feature called The Last Eagle Scout and a short called The Blue Sweater. In September, I am producer/director of photography for my first feature. I’m working with a new writer/director named Paul Sonnier who just retired from the Air Force. I’m also cast in another feature shooting...
Personally, finding the waters of Israel and holding on to my faith and my temple marriage are the ultimate triumphs in life. Professionally, because I feel that honesty and transparency are the benchmarks of a Christian character, I try to uphold those standards. I believe in the goodness of human nature. Maintaining that faith in this industry ha...
Get training. Get experience. Define success on your own terms. Don’t do what everybody else is doing and expect to be happy. These careers are not cash cows. If you want to do these things, do them because you have to do them. There’s a big difference between wanting to act and wanting to be an actor. Doing the right thing is not enough. Doing the...
I think most of what would be considered LDS film will stay within the LDS market until it has matured significantly—until the films can speak for themselves and don’t get lost in the translation to other cultures, they will continue to hit a glass ceiling financially. I used the phrase “jello circuit” in cinema school because LDS film strongly res...
