The Actor’s Waiting Room
Grace has had it rough. She’s spent thousands on training and years in customer service. Like most actors her life is a perpetual cycle of waiting. Join Grace as she tries to uncover the mysteries of the industry and why she isn’t famous yet. Some may call this investigative journalism, others may call it a waste of breath. But who can blame her, she’s just trying to pass the time, while she sits in the waiting room.
The Actor’s Waiting Room
Ep 36. Acting Lessons from Blunt, Walters, Gosling and Staunton
This week in The Actor’s Waiting Room, I’m doing what all actors do best: obsessing over other actors who are better than me.
But in a healthy, educational way. Obviously.
In this episode, I’m breaking down four performers whose work genuinely makes me want to up my game: Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt, Imelda Staunton, and Julie Walters.
We’re talking:
- Why Ryan Gosling’s stillness is weirdly hypnotic
- How Emily Blunt does… well, everything
- Why Imelda Staunton can terrify you, move you, and win three Oliviers before breakfast.
- And how Julie Walters makes absolutely every performance look effortless and bring humility to every role.
🎧 Grab your tea, sit down in the Waiting Room, and let’s get inspired (or mildly intimidated).
