Join our poetry Salon and Open Mic: https://parallax-media-network.mn.co/share/5hSLvQW7bNszFGEo?utm_source=manual About David Herz: Hello. My names are David Salzmann Herz. I was born in Boston 70 years ago when McCarthy was getting his comeuppance. I lived with my family somewhere in Massachusetts before moving to Belo Horizonte, Brazil , as part of the Department of the Interior's Punto Quatro program where my father was instrumental in mapping the geology and training a generation of Brazilian geologists. I began writing aged ten at the American school of Sao Paolo which had scorpions in the sandbox. I won a turtle for my prose. Then we lived in Chevy Chase, Maryland before moving to Athens, Ga. Where I met the poet Colman Barks and other luminaries. I moved to Chicago and studied briefly under Del Close at Second City and David Mamet who was then directing the Goodman Theater. As well as Richard McKeon at the University of Chicago who taught Susan Sontag among others. Then I returned home and drove a car from Selma, Alabama to Warminster Pennsylvania, possibly damaging the transmission while accelerating against the snow and ice. The next three years in a bankrupt New York City were richness incarnate. I worked at the Oh Ho So restaurant in SoHo and as a busboy served Harry Belafonte, one of the reasons God created humans, a glass of water. I had Alice Notley, poetess supreme, for a teacher and read my prose work at the Saint Marks in the Bowery Poetry Project. Those were wild times, buildings burning, trash uncollected, rapes a'plenty, and great generosity from compassionate lawyers, doctors and dentists for the impoverished lot we were. You could easily meet people such as John Cage, Merce Cunningham, John Giorno, Ted Berrigan, David Byrne, Patti Smith, Fred Sherry, Nam June Paik, Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, Charles Bernstein, Tony Towle, Bill Berkson, Eileen Myles, Ted Greenwald, John Cale, Lydia Lunch, Alan Vega, and avoid others such as Valerie Solanas. And then just as I was about to join a rock and roll band I moved to Paris. It's been 45 years. Odd jobs subtitling movies and Sipa Photopress Agency photographs. Doing journalism for English language papers, interviewing the B- 52's, Peter Brook, Zouc, Herbert Achternbusch, Paul Lederman, Boris Bergman and then working for Bull and Alcatel two fine French corporations employing hundreds of thousands who equally vanished into the capitalist sunset. Thanks to a flutist friend in Ircam I got to meet Karlheinz Stockhausen and Pierre Boulez but I don't think they remember me. I did a translation for Sophie Calle before she became Sophie Calle. Also some work for the Royal family of Afghanistan. Back when there was one. At Paris VIII University still in the Bois de Vincennes with the whores whom we did not try to lead to culture I got to attend classes by Lyotard & Deleuze and the Miller Brothers, Lacan's son in laws? Noam Chosmky spoke. I thought to become a consultant in a moment of delusion and ended up teaching for the last 24 years: Polytechnique, SciencesPo, ENST, INT, Supelec, Ecole Centrale, ENPC, ENSTA, Paris V, ICP, ESIEE, ECE, Ecole du Louvre. Before that I was a technical translator, a field I am happy to report that has been almost entirely taken over by machines, bless their soulless bodies. I also got married and my wife and I had two children. But we hadn't really grown up much to the needless suffering of the children and so that marriage went painfully bust...Then I married again and we had a daughter. She's on the phone right now, de rigueur for all 16 year olds. I am a loving observer of the human experiment of which I am inextricably a part, how so ever much I would like to be apart. As we advance, not necessarily progress, into the numbing, memory erasing age of AI, already sinking its canines deep into our pranic jugulars, lose ourselves in our beloved electronic devices, we must look to our hands, our analog writing devices such as pencils and pens and give them a try. Along with all the rest.

On this episode of ActorSpeak, Austin Basis continues to speak with actor Al Vicente (Sons of Anarchy, Bosch, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Queen Sugar, Allegiant, Star Maps). In Part 2, we discuss being a working Latino actor, anxiousness, Gary Oldman, loving theatre, auditioning for Gary Sinise at Steppenwolf, reps that believe in you, life on the road, the power of listening, "thinking loudly but speaking softly," and learning to use yourself to the best of your ability. Born and raised in Chicago, IL - Al Vicente spent a couple of years training at Columbia College. He started working in theater at the Latino Chicago Theatre Company and the Goodman Theater, and taking classes at night, which eventually led him to film and TV work. In Chicago, he appeared in The Night of the Iguana at the Goodman- a production which eventually made its way to Broadway. Soon after moving to Los Angeles, Al scored his first big role in Star Maps - an independent film that had a very successful premiere at The Sundance Film Festival. He went on to appear in major films Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Allegiant, Black Dynamite, Bill and Ted Face the Music, Taken 3 with Forrest Whitaker, and Dawn of Planet of the Apes with Gary Oldman- among others. Some of Al's TV credits include recurring roles on Bosch, Game of Silence, Sons of Anarchy, and Empire; and guest-starring roles on ER, Dexter, American Horror Story, The Walking Dead, Criminal Minds, Chicago Fire, Claws, the TV movie Anna Nicole with Martin Landau, and Queen Sugar produced by Ava Duvernay. Most recently, Al was in Louisiana shooting NCIS New Orleans, during the pandemic... in the middle of a hurricane! With over 100 credits to his name, Al has played his share of scientists, bartenders, doctors, lawyers, lieutenants, deputies, detectives, cops and criminals. Frequently hired for his steady hand, casual cool and disarming charm, Al's acting range stems from a confidence that comes with years of experience. It's no wonder his talents have led him to an epic run of guest stars and recurring roles that have had him traveling cross-country from coast to coast for the better part of the past NINE years. In short, he's always working on something! WE AUDITION is a video-chat community where actors can audition, self-tape, rehearse, and get expert industry advice.

I'm excited to share a series of conversations with actresses who starred in Jocelyn Bioh's play, School Girls: Or the African Mean Girls Play. These interviews were recorded with students at the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School in Maryland. This fall, I developed a program for Jewish high schools, which are majority White spaces, to explore plays by Black playwrights, to read and watch those plays, discuss the themes, expand the art they love, and perhaps most importantly, to interview Black actors and directors who have made those plays come alive in performance. This interview is with Ciera Dawn, who played Paulina at School Girls' Chicago production at the Goodman Theater. Ciera talked to us about finding the physicality of Paulina, a young woman who knows her power and potential, and she shared thoughts on her professional journey from Louisiana to Boston to Chicago to LA.

Everyone who knows anything about comedy knows about Lenny Bruce. He's the godfather of socially relevant, edgy, interesting comedy that pushes boundaries. Ronnie Marmo somehow manages to not only deliver Lenny's bits in a 90 minute show, but also channels the man so convincingly it really feels like you're watching the guy live. Lenny passed away more than 50 years ago, but Ronnie has brought him back to life in his play I'm Not A Comedian, I'm Lenny Bruce. I sat down with Ronnie after a performance at The Goodman Theater in Chicago and talked with him about the play, the craft of acting, and how he's able to embody the character so well. The guy is not just a talent, but a real artist who is committed deep down to the craft, and to being present in life. Honestly, it was pretty inspiring.

We had the pleasure of catching Mr Finlay while he was out and about in Nashville enjoying the late summer that only Nashville can give an artist to be inspired by. The 20 Year working relationship is discussed from their days back at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Mike secures his place in the will as the guy throwing Tim in the ditch. Mike Finlay started off his artistic exploits at the age of 4 during school and church. His first show that inspired him was A Christmas Carol at the Goodman Theater. Since he saw an actor walk through a wall as part of a special effect he knew he wanted to be an actor. He began reading Shakespeare at 16 and obtained 2 degrees in theater performance and creative writing at SIU. Mike really enjoys not being the mouthpiece for other writers and enjoys having people wrapped with attention at what he writes. Currently he is writing a play and a few novels. He talks about the first poem and how easy it was to write because he had been studying poetry for so long. Lake Park High School English teacher started him and encouraged him on his path. His first play he didn't mean to write but was encouraged by the resident playwrighting instructor. He was listening to John Coltrane at the time and called his first play A Love Supreme. He claims that risking making a fool of yourself as his strength and is what is needed to be successful as well as having people who will have your back when you are on stage. Mike discusses how he balanced his work life, family life and artistic endeavors and it is revealed that Mike's child will be ruling the world with Tim's children. He encourages his daughter to work on her projects and ensures he makes time each day to just work on his projects and doesn't let anyone disturb him. We discuss his first book of poetry Cecelia's Blues on Create Space. Mike takes on the Satanic Seven Questions and scores a 5.5 out of 7 questions correct. Please enjoy his answer to the unladen swallow. Mike's season 2 project will be a radio play/drama that he is currently working on for this show
