Funny stuff and profound stuff.
I'd like to meet:
Other actors and industry folk. ::I also am a proficient copy editor, so drop me a line if you have a script that needs cleaned up.:: I'd like to meet seekers, people who want to fully engage life on its own terms. People who love the outdoors, who are inspiring, and occassionally slip on a banana peel. Anyone who wants to exchange insights about the nature of things.
Music:
Classic, classical, alternative, almost any folk mucic - American or other. Music that comes from the heart. Music that opens a window onto another world. Blues, jazz, latin, percussion(African, Afro-Cuban Diaspora, Arabic, Indian).
Movies:
The Princess Bride, Romeo is Bleeding(no, NOT Romeo Must Die!), Requiem for a Dream, Happiness, Pi, Altered States, The Mission (my official favorite movie), Where the River Runs Black, True Romance...The Iron Giant.I'm very into Indie film, b/c that's where the real art happens. Interstate 60.
I love when a film enriches us with a greater understanding of ourselves, and when the characters go through a huge arc.
Television:
Lost, Heroes, Carnival(I'm so bummed it got cancelled), Rome was awesome, Six Feet Under...most of HBO's shows, actually. Star Trek when it was on still, Simpson's, Family Guy, American Dad, South Park
Books:
Robinson Crusoe by Defoe, The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub, The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King, Ishmael (read it, it will change your mind. Don't give up if it seems stupid through the first half.), Jonathan Livingston Seagull...
The Giving Tree! Most anything that offers wisdom like that. I love the classics.
Heroes:
Joseph Campbell, Deepak Chopra
