Learn More About The Working Actor Road Map About Juan Carlos: Juan Carlos Diaz is an actor born and raised in New York City. He began acting at the age of six in various school plays and musicals while in private school. While still in high school, he began working at the Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre under the direction of Miriam Colon Valle, which led to his first Equity production at the age of 17 at New Media Repertory Theatre, where he immediately became part of the children's theatre company there. Juan Carlos holds a BA in theatre from Bard College, where he studied under the tutelage of JoAnne Akalaitis and Liz Smith. His work can be seen in BULL, HALSTON, LAW & ORDER, LAW & ORDER SVU, The Last Thing He Wanted (with ANNE HATHAWAY), and many other TV shows and films. I've always been a good listener so I can figure out the homework later and take notes. I went for the audition, and then this went on for about two years. I would even get emails that he's pinned for this with just the name. And you start going, "Well, I haven't auditioned for that in months, if not a year. Okay, what's the name? Let me start doing homework." And then, eventually we got an offer, and it was a guest star spot. It allowed me to understand what our mentors try to instill in us. Sometimes it's waiting. I got a, "I can't let you go out on this, not this CoStar. I'm going to wait for something bigger for you." I don't care if I'm one line or a scene. You're soaking in so much that you're going, "Oh, okay. What is that? That's the gaffer. What's he doing? Okay. Because I need to know this, right." And be part of the collective. That show allowed me to connect with, it's one of its stars, Fred Rodriguez, and being a Latino. It allowed me to say, "Hey man, I came out of college, and I didn't have hope, and I would see you on this show," I think he was on Six Feet Under. And I identified. I thanked him because he is part of a seminal movement across the board in this disenfranchised world, and he helped open doors and be a part of his show in this capacity. Not to mention, I have scenes with him. Networking You know, you'll run into a friend who you haven't done a thing with in a while, and then you, that might be a thing, or at least you're like, "Hey, let's stay in contact." One of the things that you're bringing up is relationships. It's finding those pockets of the right people. And I think now I'm starting to understand networking way better, which is, I don't have to go and do this whole formal, like a date. It's my friend who has a film. I want to support that. Oh, now I have seen four other films. I'm going to reach out to the festival, and I'm going to reach out to the directors and say, "Hey man, love that thing. Identify with that." It's also about being genuine with it. In other words, if you see a director's movie and don't like it, that's not a director you'll reach out to. Only reach out to the people who you really, really like. Something that was taught to me very early in my career, and unfortunately, it's much easier to say than to do and implement, is it's one audition in a lifetime of auditions. So you bombed an audition, honey; there will be 10,000 of these after this. You may not think so, but there will be. The other thing that you said is that, when you were talking about the spokes of the wheel, you know, I think a lot, a lot of times, the actors think they have to be the whole wheel. You don't have to be the entire wheel; you just have to do your part well. One more brilliant thing that you said is this idea that you're coming in to a casting director, to an agent, to a producer, to a writer, to a celebrity as peers. You're not trying to get them to like you. There is no us; we are figuring out this thing and bringing our own ingredients. If you want to get better, you have to have those conversations either with somebody who sees it outside of you. And or with yourself. Remain teachable. Measuring your progress. I allow myself somehow to get back to the work, and because I'm so, in a good way, obsessed with it, it's what allows me to feel 100% truly alive. Watching movies and tv to all creativity to come. Read a play.
It's that time again to recognise an under appreciated star of the screen. We deliver a swerve though, turning our attention to a director and writer... Dee Rees! There are many reasons to be a Dee Rees fan and we are here to share those as we explore her film career. We will cheer about the almighty highs of Pariah (2011) and Mudbound (2017); celebrate the successes of TV biopic Bessie (2015), and even acknowledge where things didn't work out quite so well in The Last Thing He Wanted (2020). We are eager for so much more from Dee, so we also look to the future to share some thoughts on what we'd love to see her involved in. Follow us on social media to stay updated!

Joan Didion (1934-2021), noted essayist, novelist, screenwriter social critic and journalist, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded in the KPFA studios on October 21, 2003. Joan Didion died on December 23, 2021 at the age of 87. A chornicler of of the American zeitgeist, she was the author of several novels, including Play It As It Lays and The Last Thing He Wanted, the brilliant book-length essay on grief, The Year of Magical Thinking, and several collections of essays including Slouching Toward Bethlehem. Her screenplays include The Panic In Needle Park, True Confessions, and the 1976 A Star Is Born, most of them co-written with her husband, John Gregory Dunne. This interview was conducted while she was on tour for her collection of essays, Where I Was From. Sadly, due to technical difficulties, only the first part of the interview was recorded before both the computer and back-up failed. Photo: Joan Didion at the Brooklyn Film Festival, 2008. Creative Commons. The post Joan Didion (1934-2021), 2003 appeared first on KPFA.
This week, we reach into the City Arts & Lectures archives for a conversation with Joan Didion. One of the most influential writers of our time, Didion both chronicled and shaped American culture with a sharp, witty, and distinctively Californian sensibility. The Sacramento native graduated from the University of California at Berkeley. Her novels include “Play it as it Lays”, “A Book of Common Prayer”, and “The Last Thing He Wanted”. With her husband John Gregory Dunne, she co-wrote screenplays including “True Confessions”, “Up Close and Personal”, and “The Panic in Needle Park”. Didion's nonfiction, beginning with the 1968 “Slouching Towards Bethlehem”, exemplifies the New Journalism movement – a subjective approach to reporting that employs literary techniques. Didion's inimitable voice was brought even more to the foreground in her memoirs “The Year of Magical Thinking”, and “Blue Nights”, which describe the loss of her husband and daughter and her anxieties about parenting and aging. Joan Didion died in Manhattan on December 23, 2021, at the age of 87. Joan Didion appeared on City Arts & Lectures six times between 1996 and 2011. In her last visit, recorded on November 15, 2011, she spoke with novelist Vendela Vida, shortly after the publication of “Blue Nights” at the Herbst Theater in San Francisco. The program was a benefit for the 826 Valencia College Scholarship program.
The Interview:For over 50 years, Joan Didion, a daughter of California, has been in a league all her own, as a writer and novelist. Unlike many critics, she is capable of writing memorable fiction that, although not as widely read as her reportage and singular essays, stands the test of time. The Library of America Series recently published their second Joan Didion volume featuring the novels Democracy and The Last Thing He Wanted, as well as nonfiction works like Salvador, Miami and After Henry, her third major essay collection. Edited by former LA Times book editor, author, and critic David Ulin, the collection is brimming with her enduring legacy and highlights her works from the 1980s and 1990s, which are not as well known. In this episode, Ulin helps us unpack why Didion's later work and overall influence cannot be underestimated among several younger generations of novelists and essayists. The Reading:For the reading this episode, journalist and author Steffie Nelson reads the piece “A Trip to Xanadu” from the recently published collection of odds and ends by Didion, entitled Let Me Tell You What I Mean (Knopf). Nelson is the author of Slouching Toward Los Angeles (Rare Bird Books), a collection of essays about Didion and the City of Angels.Music by Yusef Lateef
5% on Rotten Tomatoes? Had to. Not a full-blown atrocity, but it IS the lowest-rated film on Netflix!

As America emerges from the pandemic and summer begins, we're sharing some of the best from our archives. The iconic actress Rosie Perez joined Paul fresh off the Weinstein verdict on February 27, 2020 in Episode 48. If you've never heard this episode, you're in for a treat. And if you're a long time listener, you'll enjoy hearing this gem again. From February 27, 2020 - Episode 48: Legendary actor and activist Rosie Perez (@RosiePerezBklyn) is a fighter. And this is the Oscar-nominated icon like you've never heard her before. Uncensored, candid and timely, Rosie shares her harrowing path to success that you'll never forget. One of the most beloved actors of our time, she's also a life-long activist, survivor, philanthropist, author, choreographer and boxing expert. An advocate for people living with HIV/AIDS, the people of Puerto Rico, survivors of sexual assault and anyone anywhere facing mental illness. Rosie also knows and loves boxing. Always the skilled analyst, truth-teller and lesson-teacher, “The First Lady of Boxing” breaks down the massive heavyweight championship fight between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder, shares her candid thoughts on the groundbreaking Harvey Weinstein verdict after her recent testimony in the trial, reflects on her time as a co-host of The View, digs into Trump and the Democratic candidates, and talks about her amazing first car. Rosie is a great American success story. After surviving a childhood of abuse, losing her mother to AIDS, and living in a foster group home, she has risen to become an inspiration to millions worldwide. First making her name as a dancer on Soul Train and as a choreographer for the Fly Girls on TV's In Living Color, she exploded into fame after unforgettable parts in Do the Right Thing and White Men Can't Jump. Rosie would rise to an Oscar nomination for her role in Fearless, a seat co-hosting ABC's The View, and authoring Handbook for an Unpredictable Life: How I Survived Sister Renata and My Crazy Mother, and Still Came Out Smiling (with Great Hair). President Obama appointed her to The Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA) and she has served as the Artistic Chair of Urban Arts Partnership--an arts education nonprofit that supports public schools and is also devoted to supporting immigrants, LGBTQ, special needs and at-risk students. Rosie now stars alongside Anne Hathaway, Ben Affleck, and Willem Dafoe, in the Netflix film The Last Thing He Wanted, which is set around the Iran-Contra scandal during the Reagan administration. She also stars in the action film Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey with Margot Robbie, the forthcoming HBO series The Flight Attendant and the children's film, Clifford the Big Red Dog.

In our second episode of our Oscars/Razzies mashup, we prove how professional we are by using co-host Jeff's backup phone voice memo audio because his file got royally screwed during our recording. Deepest apologies to you, and may God have mercy on his soul. We begin with a discussion of indie darling Palm Springs, starring Andy Samberg, Cristin Milioti and JK Simmons, available now on Hulu, and how enjoyable, moving, funny and rewatchable this film is. We then discuss a potential Razzie nominee (I'd bet against a nomination, but we'll see), The Last Thing He Wanted, starring Anne Hathaway, Rosie Perez, Ben Affleck, Willem Dafoe and Toby Jones. It was directed and co-written by Dee Rees, her first movie since Mudbound in 2017, bought in 2018 by Netflix, adapted from a successful Joan Didion, yet somehow got terrible reviews. Was it really that bad? Intro/Palm Springs (0:00) The Last Thing He Wanted (23:10) Music: soundcloud.com/dasein-artist. Beer: @cbarrozobar2019. Edited and produced by Dave Green.

2020 was an odd year for movies. The big studios kept pushing all their stuff off the schedule for another year. It feels like there was a lot less movies, yet stuff quietly kept being released each week through streaming or VOD. It is the least movies I've seen in theatres since I started professionally reviewing movies in 2012. It is also the least amount of new release movie that I've seen as a movie critic. But that doesn't mean that there haven't been some great movies worth checking out, but that isn't what we are doing this week. In a year that some say has been churning out the horrible in life, it also had a lot of really bad movies. This week, we're going to pan some horrible movies one last time as we rip them apart for wasting over 90 minutes of our lives. This is one of our most popular annual shows of the year, as we take some joy ripping apart some joyless movies.We had a blast recording this week's show and we really hope you love it too.

This week we are at the Sundance film festival in Park City, Utah, sending regular dispatches about the highlights in its independent film lineup. One of the most highly anticipated movies here is called The Last Thing He Wanted, from filmmaker Dee Rees, who previously directed Mudbound and Pariah. The Last Thing He Wanted is an adaptation of the Joan Didion novel, which centers on a journalist who gets caught up in shady international business when her ageing father gets sick.
