SHAE Quotes:

“True star quality is unique and distinctive, a degree of excellence, allure and charm.  It’s a luminary characteristic an actor is gifted with, a ‘magic’ that sets her/him apart, to an exclusive echelon of celebrity.  Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Elvis, all possessed an infectious appeal that kept us fascinated and wanting more.  Now we get that currently with Johnny Depp.  He re-invents himself for each role, It’s exclusive exceptional and distinctive and exciting to watch.

“I look for dedication and commitment to acting which includes a willingness to study.  When I am attaching actors, I ask myself, is this someone I would want to watch week after week?  Are they interesting and special?  Would they have mass appeal?  Sometimes its charm, energy, instant charisma, you can tell this person is different from the rest. The transformation at auditions and finally onto the screen is a process that is rewarding for everyone when it all comes together.”

“I do hundreds of meetings a year and occasionally I meet someone who has that charismatic, engaging quality.  An essence that intrigues and maintains my interest throughout the interview.  It’s exclusive, and exceptional.  Simply put, “STAR QUALITY”.

“Be enthusiastic, committed, work hard, be persistent and stay determined to be the best you can be. Remember, you are competing with yourself, it is your race. If acting is your dream then dare to do it!  Don’t settle for good, strive for great!  Be professional and embrace every opportunity!”
