Having recently graduated from the BY of U my brother Chas is on the hunt for a career.
Search no further, my bro. I have found it!!
You could be Ralph Finnes’ double! Or, even better, you could always play Ralph whenever a younger version of him was required. Eh? Eh? What do you say…
Check it out:
(Ernest, pensive – good, good! That is SO Ralph!)
(Like the intensity here, Chas – you’ll need that when you’re playing Ralph)
(Ah, the softer side. He does have that too, you’ll totally nail that!)
Oooooh, so now this gets a little harder. But Chas, if I could do Lady Macbeth – I know you could conquer Lord Voldemort.
Lets just break it down. (That always helps.)
Step one.
This doesn’t seem too hard, right? I mean you take the make-up and costume away, and this is what it boils down to.
Alright, yes, Chas! This is going in the right direction. I mean, I think by involving a small vulnerable child you’re getting closer – but I think you need to be a bit meaner.
See, what he is doing here? Maybe if you did some scrunching motions with your hands like Ralph.
Okay, okay this is getting a little closer. Not quite there YET, but there is time.
We’ll keep working on it. Remember to keep “Loose, relaxed, FREE!” and you’ll get there eventually.
Bro, what do you think? Are you seeing the massive potential here that I am seeing?!

He also reminds me of a young Aidan Quinn. I watched Benny & Joon over the weekend and thought that. And when I watched Wuthering Heights last week, I thought the same thing about good ol’ Ralph. Love our Chas!

All I can say is…all I can say, Belmont Jackson, is… WORDS FAIL ME!

A new career for you. Personalized acting classes online. Glory Halleluja! This beats all!

Ha ha! Brilliant! This is perfect (and quite flattering I might add). I’m set. Lize, can you double as both acting coach AND my agent? When do I start?
