 This in my wheelhouse. My approach to acting is in response to create using a theoretical approach. My idea's is what drive my intent it's a type of method. The plot? To use your passionate self - my intense self - my psychological self. My personal investment is in art - how my nervous system works "naturally". What is acting? Acting to me begins and ends in how to think like an actor first (self) and imitation second (characters).

Caged in the fire (incomplete informational feedback)

 Steven Bernstein


What is the main purpose you propose to manage how we arrive at something (as you said) poetic? What is a poetically specific motive as a framework for creating something original or challenging norms. This, as ideology, becomes dogmatic independent of the way it is received because, in my view, most audiences are complacent to what already is in the world. My point is that the audience's perception is a constraint in what they are receiving behind the medium, beneath the message, based on an unconscious lack of disbelief. In other words, the audience wants a new source to interpret causation. Meaning - I, as the actor, have the ability to alter an audience's domestic element. All people in general take aim without thinking about what's at stake. My job is to make something that is completely beyond that. So my question is, how do you know? How do you know what objective focuses is doing things completely disobeying together laws we are all centered on or pulled into (without) gathering convention. I can tell you that I work from this place. And most actors are not aware. This is my personal laboratory. °●•○•●●• Marco from Winnipeg

June 4th 2016

I found this song for the first time this week. It has touched me on a mysterious level I can only feel.

I am a huge fan of this Canadian artist.

Out of all the music he has created, this reaches to the top of my favorites of his.

============

It reminds me of a place I used to call home. But home never leaves you - your best version of yourself. That the it factor we all chase is in vain. It is about making the opposite for that choice. That choice we all wish for things to happen though may never come.

This message is about how stupid I am to think I'm an artist.

(Put that phrase I last thought a different way.)

I'm not the artist that everyone thinks - I am. To think that I'm an artist is my secret life made public. It may be how stuck you all see me. But it doesn't make me a loser. I rather fight dying to be what I want. While everybody watches it happen or not, is not up to me.

That's how truth works.

Believe me, I'm not waiting to be famous. I will fight the same way despite the unfathomable destruction of me. That 'me' that everyone thinks deserves special treatment. Special treatment is not about wanting the things we want and getting them. It takes the truth of climbing the mountain and thinking how the view is as good as everyone else's. That takes courage. Test me, my friend. This point on the mountain is all just over the top nonsense no one cares to understand nor think about. (A perfect sentence to define me.) But really, as fictionally delusional you make this out to be. There are things that reach the pinnacle in life, you hardly are ware of. Like your first born. The marriage you have. It's all real. I'm searching for words to find how that computes into the reality WE ALL WANT. And my point is I am what interprets my personal affirmations.

You are not the rejection you faced all your life because it became larger than you ever could imagine it. Now I fall under the escape plan.

This is about being that version I only imagined when I was the younger version (of myself).

I've become something of an idea. And may be it's true. And may be it isn't. But I know I can fight. And that doesn't make me a boss, a prize fighter, or an executioner.

I fight (because I can) without protesting my own advocacy means something.

People have accused me of being something I can only imagine myself as. I know it. But I don't care. I fear it will have to be out of my control.

The whole purpose about making no sense to anyone is this:

I want to make a difference. I fight as not to be purged upon.

And this is where I will end my truth. Without living a lie. Lies - where we all fall in line with whatever is in front of us. I have what makes me feel things most of you never do. And I want to feel it without safety. My animal instinct. The kind that you have but you dispossessed. You dispossessed something that you failed to conquer along the way. If that doesn't have you thinking. . . than what other lies are you living?

And this is the proof of how I arrange what I see in life. Words are my only proof. Words upon words of self control. A self control that we all fail to connect to others with but use judgment. I have never fucking judged anyone in my life for who they are. Just ask anyone.

But if you cross the line between my faith in god and what stands on the other side of this. You've gone lost.

That's where you'll find me.

This is where I am in life. A 50 year old man that is wiser than he ever thought possible.

Marco's been through heart ache, through the worst near death experiences you'd never purport.

But I will die going out swinging before someone takes my wings away.

the personal psychology of metaphorical irony

 June 3rd 2025


Intent.  All individuals (this universal rule applies to everyone) what may be fueled by wisdom but it is not freed from irony.  Only genius marks what symbolism creates as the opposite of norms.  Unless it is found, only that type of character can cheat what (questioning death) nature represents.  Food for thought.


Do I consider myself an artist on these terms?  Yes.  Absolutely.  Otherwise, I wouldn't be.

May 16th 2014

I am having one of those days where voices of demons enter the fray. It has to do with vulgarity as an art, mostly because of my time spent at a particular place where I paid for study as an actor. I am not a stupid individual by any means, but my experience in that class was the worst I have had as an amateur. I am careful not to lose myself on these words as result of the double standards based on favoritism. If I am feeling sorry for myself it is misplaced in this sense. What I am trying my best to avoid is anger turned inward that was caused not influenced. I cannot begin to understand why that is the case with me other than an outright rejection.
I am an incredibly well read individual and it is what others are intimidated by they rather turn into opportunists as their position of default.
I will never forgive those responsible for their habitual subjectivity and intolerance at the Acting Studio.

=============

 The very truth of the 2014 facebook entry is worthy of its case this reads as.

I will not sell out to anyone on this day nor over any other (day) based on decisions others believe should not be my own.
I don't care how other's think about my uninhibited nature.
From this place of wonder is where true art is born.
All art is personal to me, and there are those that just will never understand that.
Art is about the artist. That is the unwritten rule. I don't care what anyone else thinks. I represent what is my vision and nothing will ever change that.
I have already won the lottery. No one will tell me otherwise present in my imagination of it.
But to copouts that call themselves actors, you fool no one worth the dime you ride in on. The same minute your exhibited behavior - it doesn't match with what you think the world wants to know about you. You lose. There are too many that impose their lack of wisdom onto others.
My point is the world should want to know about you as you are; not as the false idea they think you demand from it.
I will never forgive these types.

 an actor's true dichotomy.

living in the moment you are put into a context.
you are put into a context living in the moment.

----------------------

spontaneity

character

instinct

Does being a) intense and b) spiritually connected: make me a dangerous actor? Put into a context you are living in the moment.

The superlative nature of being

 I find exception to one rule as true based on what is training: whether it be


(1) focus on group experience or to the effect there is (2) an instructor to help lead my intent in learning/expectations/curiosity as promised. 


This rule I follow (and I do mean 'judge') anyone else besides myself.  If you are not in acting for the same purpose? = Which is to make another actor better than what the "me - myself - and I" - thought of ourselves before we made commitment in being vulnerable to others. Therefore, YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS IN ACTING NOR TO BE AN ACTOR.  


If my experience is not elevated to a point I feel better about myself, personally.  Acting classes are a purge of my true nature as an artist.  I have seen exactly how instructors work and I tell them exactly the same thing, where my power as an artist has to be met.  It doesn't matter who.  My marks are clear to me.  


I refuse to play ignorant when it comes to what this means, to be an actor.

Dream state as equilibrium

 Acting


I heard this and instantly thought to myself, why.  Why haven't I - I in my most vulnerable state informing other's through my body.  That, in contextually interpreting the conscious mind of others, my observations are not as subconsciously driven to what is the agreement for social contract (is).  


My point is being true or not - people don't act as if they are in a dream state in real life, how does that convert into real time is another question entirely/.


What concerns me more is how he states equilibrium is something you can not achieve as focus or concentration.  To make contact or regulate the senses (register impulse) is something completely normal.  


I concern myself as an artist connecting to my personal faith.  My faith in others does not confuse me to the end of having a relationship to god.  It is the ancient most fundamental way for symbolizing what acting is.


To live as if you are in a dream state is something that takes skill.  Not acting.  I have never met an acting coach who is equally instructive to my purpose as to find what true acting is, because (most acting instructors) don't have the skill.

I read this that I had wrote back in 2024 and it reads perfectly.


I happened to have the exact conversation about the exact same thing (ironically) this morning with someone I know, before I came across this piece of writing (today).  


The reason is simple.


I have been around the acting block and I know my stuff.  I have studied and studied and I have a frame in which my soul is.


Apart from that, my point is that unless you are in acting I have formulated only one and one rule only which universally applies for anyone that cares to learn.


The rule is if you are not in the business of acting with the purpose to make another person better than they were.  YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS IN ACTING!!


That's how I roll.


I have crossed paths with those I shall not name.  They claim to be involved yet do it for the wrong reason, are typical and superficial in their guise. I know what to look for and their aims are selfish rather than selfless.  But even when they know exactly what is I believe, every single word is true.


I only insist on this.  I play by this decree.  Everyome knows it and I tell it.  My point here is: if you don't have the guts you're hardly worth the pedigree.

March 26th 2024

This is another PSA for reasons of my own. This subject is why I'm not in acting. 


I feel a betrayal. I'd love to be an actor. I don't want to be one unless the right reasons are in place. I won't be purged upon. I think that makes sense.


It's all about being in game I refuse to play into. Why. Because I an not in any way shape or form a manipulative individual. I prove to lead myself by example... what this equates to is being kind to others. Which is my greatest virtue.


I would describe the acting industry as a virus. It needs to be tampered with without a antidote.


The feelings I have are a refusal of playing that game. It seems to me that unless you can play a game within the game, your center offsets. The reality is a superficial one. 


What I've been able to do for myself up to this period. This point and time is not secret. 


I am no longer hiding or throwing shade at it.


I've never been happier in my life.


I set principles above everything and I know I am a good person. 


I am enough.


I'd love to be an actor but not at the expense of not looking at myself.


I've reset. I'm happy. I have my family. I love it all. When I was trying so hard. I lost sight of the shore.


But when I really set sail. The stars are my guide and I realized they're looking down on me....

Truthful creativeness

 McConaughey


All bullshit. You don’t need hollywood to be an independently creative soul. McConaughey is genius. I believe his story. But he is not telliing us what he really knows. Which again, takes genius.


What is it about unbranding. What does it mean. Truthfully seeking what is. What is in you. Living INSIDE you?

My kingdom for a horse

 Acting notes:


Feedback is made in what choices are through the act of listening.

Happiness (universal end) is Intelligence leaving the body (through action).

Fragility in action

 Christopher Nolan tells Timothée Chalamet about the "Interstellar" scene where "you were hitting a dark tone. It felt too much for me. I didn’t particularly like it." 


Nolan


“When you were filming the messages from home, there was a particular thing where you were hitting a dark tone... I told you about it and you went ahead and did whatever the f*ck you wanted and carried on. But I was like, ‘He knows what he wants to do and has an idea.’ It wasn’t about being stubborn. You had planned what you wanted to do. You planned your choices and you didn’t want to abandon that on a casual whim for me. You wanted to test that and challenge that and see if I kept coming back, which I didn’t. I’ll find a logic to that in the edit suite.”


°●●••○○○••••


Chalamet has a huge huge one dimensional ego which happens only with narcissistic personalities. A type of Hollywood disorder. Chalamet definitely is not alone but Nolan debunks what is Chalamets true character flaw. As an actor I can personally appreciate. I learn to dispel what is desperate in actors trying to compete with everyone around. There is irony to be found.


Chalamet comes across as selfish an attitude that Nolan simply refutes without harm.

Universal freedom 🆚 emotional decline :: (what is) conflicting personality

There is psychological retention where there is no full proof method to it.  This is the why method acting is not strategically valid.


Pacino in theory

Saturday, December 20, 2025



This makes me wonder what my idea of becoming an actor should be without the element of surprise as a permanent link to the future. A prime example of living life with a clout of absence. The distance between doing nothing and going nowhere, that my own experience is an evasion to. Where in the eyes that examine such imagery feel a mystery about to unfold.

Neuroplasticity

 As an actor, this is interesting because method actors trying to become a character are influenced based on living their part through actually or deliberately choosing to master how that character would function.

This is ridiculous. You have to intercede the truth of any play under social contraints to help inform the play. The truth of art? Interpretation

Resetting vestige

 August 10th 2025 •●●○•°°° Truth requires action. It's the movement (my ability to reason) that becomes contagious = the eye of my observational self. That is what makes me an actor.  And most scary: is that when any actor commits to a lie as opposite of truth rests on personal courage. °•●●○•°°  - Marco -
