After watching The Odyssey, it reminded me how impressive Robert Pattinson's career has been. I've always admired how he never let Twilight define him and instead kept taking on challenging, diverse roles. Every performance feels different. Is he one of the best examples of an actor successfully reinventing themselves, or is there someone else you'd put above him?

His name is Richard Panebianco. My favorite movie of him is Dogfight (1991). I became his biggest fan after seeing him in that movie. He's so underrated, he deserves some spotlight. Sadly, he's no longer acting anymore. Can somebody tell me what is he doing now in his living? I missed seeing him in the movies.

I don’t think it’s Scott Glenn?

Solved. I believe it’s Gregory Lundsgaard, a real life fireman

That's quite an impressive feat for any actor, and goes to show how likeable they were. They had to call him them in for reshoots just to fix the negative reception

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice.
For a bit of context, I’m in my mid-20s. As a teenager, I did a lot of amateur musical theatre before moving into part-time professional screen acting training through classes in my early 20s (I work full time). I’ve had a few health setbacks over the past couple of years, but I’m finally at a point where I’m ready to start building my acting credits.
My goal over the next year is to get onto Spotlight and start putting together a showreel by working on student films and short films.
Recently, one of my old amateur theatre companies invited me back to audition for a play. It’s a great opportunity, but rehearsals would be a few evenings a week over a six-month period, so it’s a significant time commitment.
I’m feeling really torn. On the one hand, it would be valuable experience: performing regularly, learning lines, working with other actors, and developing my skills in a live environment. On the other hand, if my long-term goal is screen acting, I’m wondering whether that time would be better spent taking more screen acting classes, networking, and auditioning for student and short films.
Has anyone been in a similar position? If your goal is screen acting, would you take the theatre role, or focus entirely on building screen credits instead?
Any advice or perspectives would be really appreciated. Thanks!

any truth to Wemby dating the obsession actor girl. Saw 2 articles about speculation of them spending time together during fanatics fest and then one of my buddy’s said that he spotted them at the same restaurant in NYC a day or two ago, he doesn’t know if they was sitting together but was wondering if wemby actually innat. Also a little interesting that wemby 7’5 and she’s 4’10. No big sources like TMZ or daily mail posted anything about it but I wanted to know if this is real or fake??

Am I the only one who thinks Zendaya cant act and she is not even that attractive?
I really dont understand the hype about her. There are so many other talented young actresses but they keep show her down our throat

Am I wrong?

am i crazy or does Ian from obsession (Cooper Tomlinson) look a lot like Dr Harris from Sense & Sensibility 1995 (Oliver Ford (couldn’t find a younger picture of him…))

Weird question but are any of you part of an instagram engagement pod to help each other grow your social media following?
I hate this, but it seems a strong social media following has become important for actors. For those of us who were late to social media don’t like social media or are hot women who can just post a slightly sultry pic and get thousands of followers are left behind.

Tom Hanks said one sentence to me on set that changed how I work as an actor

Had a scene with Tom Hanks in A Man Called Otto. Between takes, I thanked him for something he did — and what he said back has genuinely changed how I show up on every set since.
