Welcome back to the pod. I’m Mike Dreyden Figueroa and this Unscripted and Unrehearsed, where I share my take on events of the day, things that I’ve seen, heard and experienced.

This week I’m discussing my journey as an actor and the books that have formed me.  Starting off with reviewing the week. Worst Super Bowl in History. THE HALF TIME SHOW and revenue numbers over the past five years thanks to a post by Team Puerto Ricoo on Instagram. Toñita makes an appearance. The metaphor message to his younger self. FBI raided Georgia elections. What you can do to get prepared by election day. James Van Der Bek and Chadwick Boseman. Plus the International Toy Fair Kicked off this weekend at The Jacob Javitz Center

TOPIC 1: Questions I get all the time… Why become an actor? What kind of actor are you? Where did you study?

TOPIC 2: What makes a great actor? What is acting? Meisner said: “It takes twenty years”. Reading, Cultural, Travel, Drinking, Eating.

TOPIC 3: Read these books…
* By Uta Hagen: Respect for Acting and Challenge for the Actor.
* By Sanford Meisner: Sanford Meisner on Acting
* By Stanislavski: An Actor Prepares
* By Ivana Chubbuck: Power of the Actor
* By Seth Barrish: An Actors Companion

NOW YOU TELL ME:
* Have you thought about getting into acting?
* Would you like to take a class?
* Do you even care… No judgements.
