Sitting down with 24’s Bill Buchanan, James Morrison, was an entertainment, an edutainment and a spiritual revelation. Warmth and wisdom on art, humanity and life. I’d be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful person. Easy on the eyes, ears… did I mentioned he played… WOW! His Selfish Man has been on heavy rotation in my brain on my device since he played it last night. I cannot stop singing it. Lucky for all, I’m alone. Great pickin’, amazing singing, and stupendous storytelling. James’s adherence to being of service in all that he does in life and art, serves him, and all who are graced in his presence. And, he’s so fun! From a childhood in Alaska and Utah surrounded by addiction, he came to terms with his own. 38 years sober, there’s nothing self-righteous in his recovery, it’s generosity of actions and spirit, all the time. From theatre to TV spots: X-Files, Frasier, The West Wing, to being featured on Private Practice, 24, the newly reimagined Twin Peaks, and loads of others along the way… James has been a working actor since commuting to it at 21. Partnered with his wife, Riad Galayini, he co-directed and produced Showing Up, an unprecedented look at the audition, with some of our most accomplished working actors reflecting on the process and how it affects them. Nathan Lane, Sam Rockwell, Eli Wallach. Kristin Chenoweth… James and company make a case for how the process of preparing and presenting at an audition serves likewise in life. Committed to his craft, his son, his music and art, James is a humanist and activist, putting his actions where his mouth is. A one-man show is in the works. James will be treating Women Who Write to a taste on August 27th. Catch it live on the Facebook. I can’t wait for more James. A taste is not nearly enough. I highly recommend staying abreast of all his wonder on FB and at http://www.jpmorrison.com. I have profound love and admiration for this man. What a gift and a pleasure.
