Welcome to Acting and Apple Pie. The balance of Art and Life…

Acting is my passion and so is Apple Pie. At least the idea of what apple pie represents to me. I was inspired to create this blog from an annual apple picking trip with my godchildren. They are the most interesting loveable foreign creatures to me. I didn’t realize how much I love these moments until I came up for air working on 5 different projects. The idea of family, home, and stability is something that I crave. But I’m on an intense high with my true love…The Art of Acting. To Live and To Die…over and over and over again is an immeasurable state of being.
Life in itself is a stage. An actor can adapt better to change on this earth because we have become so many souls. To view the world from a perceptive you weren’t born with is a gift. The view of the world is greatly different from one (for example) of an accountant. They see numbers, balance sheets, income and equity statements and thus a bottom-line. There is no bottom-line for an artist. Our work is infinite. There is little balance with an obsessed enlighten consciousness. There is no start time, end time or overtime. There is no dinner prepared every night at 7PM to come home to. Nor the fragrance of warm vanilla, cinnamon sticks or freshly made apple pie.
So where is the time to bake… and for whom.  We need human affection. The moments of passion and love to moisten the dough. No need to preheat the oven to 375 degrees until the formula of balance of Art and Life is born.
My journey starts here with YOU…now let’s try to find a farmers market...

Love,
Acting and Apple Pie
