THIS MAY COME AS A SURPRISE

IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

THIS MAY COME AS A SURPRISE>>

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Josh Brolin portrays Thanos, the purple-toned Mad Titan who sets out to collect all six Infinity Stones for his Gauntlet glove to claim control over the entire universe (and possibly beyond.) His quest really gets underway in Avengers: Infinity War, which features the space goon as the biggest bad of them all, challenging the title heroes to put aside all their differences exposed in Captain America: Civil War and come together to, as Nick Fury envisioned, "fight the battles [humans] never could."

But beneath all the visual effects, brute strength, and thirst for power is an actor who's hardly known for any of those things. Brolin, who's both a Hollywood legacy and a former child star, has quietly worked his way into the mainstream, earning some key acclaim along the way.

KANYE WEST ON 'DONALD TRUMP' GETS BACKLASH


IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS:
KANYE WEST ON 'DONALD TRUMP' GETS BACKLASH.
It was a long, wild day on Kanye West’s Twitter account. What began with a tweet about President Trump’s “dragon energy” led to a friendly exchange between the rapper and Trump, and soon erupted into a divisive Twitter conversation about race, identity politics and mental health.
West’s praise of Trump on Wednesday prompted a swift backlash from fans, activists and celebrities. Legions of Twitters users, particularly those in the black community, criticized him for voicing his support of a president who has hesitated to condemn white supremacists, called African nations “shithole countries” and whom many Americans consider to be racist.Kanye West has not been shy in expressing his feelings about President Trump. Now he did it on Twitter, with a series of tweets posted on April 25. (The Washington Post)
But some of West’s friends and fellow musicians came to his defense, including fellow Chicago native Chance the Rapper.
“Talked to him two days ago. He’s in a great space and not affected by folk tryna question his mental or physical health,” tweeted Chance, whose birth name is Chancelor Bennett. “Black people don’t have to be democrats.

REALLY? IT'S NOT ALWAYS ROMANTIC>>.

IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

REALLY? IT'S NOT ALWAYS ROMANTIC>>.

Do you have a favorite scene in a movie in which two co-stars give a great kiss? A kissing scene may look terrific on screen, but not all actors are in the right state of mind when that electric moment occurs. Remember the kiss between Kirsten Dunst and Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man? It looked great from the audience’s point of view, but what really happened when they touched lips as Peter Parker hung upside down? Some even take herbal energy boosters to make it more believable. And rarely do they get it
right the 'first time'. So, do it again...and again.

MANY ACTORS ARE 'NOT PATIENT' OR DON'T..

IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

MANY ACTORS ARE 'NOT PATIENT' OR DON'T..

Following Direction
One of the hardest things managers deal with is getting actors to follow directions. Nine out of ten times, beginning actors think they know better than their representatives. It is very annoying. With our agency when we give directions we expect them to be followed. It is my our way or the highway, because we know what we are doing, helping actors build a career and an understanding of how the business works. New actors are only thinking about how to get a job. Anytime you watch television you can see an actor who had a job, but do they have a career? There is a big difference. We are not trying to get our actors jobs, that is what their agent is for. Building careers that can sustain.
Agents have this problem as well. Many agents say "I can't tell you how impatient most talent are and they feel like we aren't doing enough because they are not getting out". Sometimes...no matter how many calls we make or submissions we do....some just don't get called. That is when they need to re-invent themselves. If they choose not to...no one can help them because they don't listen." And too many times they listen to other 'basically beginners' that tell them what to do. Sad thing is they are in the same boat. Listen to proven professionals, like your agent.

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY>>>

IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY>>>


Steven Spielberg has become the first director to gross more than $10 billion at the box office. 
The award-winning movie-maker - who has helmed hits such as Jaws, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial -and many, more... has won the race to the landmark figure. 
By contrast, his closest rivals >>>> Peter Jackson, Michael Bay and James Cameron - are all currently around the $6 billion figure.

IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME >>

IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME >>

This week us > the William Reynolds Agency received almost , 'one thousand casting notices'  for talent, most here in Georgia (number one in the world for film location filming) including, but not limited to Movies, Television, Commercials and Modeling. But also NY, Los Angeles, Louisiana, Texas, South Carolina, even London.These castings ranged from Starring roles in film, to much smaller roles etc. but all paying jobs. Some paid over $1,000 per day, and obviously some much less, but all in the entertainment industry. Overall this would be about an average week, sometimes more and sometimes less. On any given week the agency will have over one hundred talent  that began their career 'right here' that work in the fom and tv industry etc. :)
Thanks to us and special thanks to Atlanta. :)

WILLIAM REYNOLDS:
IN MY OPINION:
 
FACEBOOK SAYS >>>>
 
That each person or entity can have only 5,000 friends and that out of all the Facebook users
worldwide, that less than 1,000 have that many friends. And we have reached our limit :(
.So, sorry if you had a friend request, and we have a bunch but a message comes up and says
"Sorry you have reached your friend limit' I would like to add some more of you guys but I cannot.

DON'T WORRY THEY WILL BOTH BE OK

IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS:
 
DON'T WORRY THEY WILL BOTH BE OK >>>
 
Fans may be in a frenzy after it was announced that Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan are another Hollywood couple who have called it quits, but the separate A-listers each have their own projects to keep them preoccupied this year.
Though appearing in recent films such as Logan Lucky and Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Tatum’s next acting venture will be lending his voice to two animated films slated to be released in the next two years. The actor joins Zendaya, Gina Rodriguez, James Corden and Yara Shahidi in the Warner Bros. animated film Smallfoot, set to be released Sept. 28. After voicing Superman in 2014’s The Lego Movie, Tatum will return for the sequel slated for a Feb. 8, 2019, release.

POLITICS AND ENTERTAINMENT

IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS;
POLITICS AND ENTERTAINMENT
In recent years political communication scholars have begun to build a small but important body of quantitative research suggesting that the consumption of entertainment media can affect how citizens learn about, think about, and act in the political world. However, we have limited our ability to understand this relationship  Unfortunately too many citizens take the words and views of stars like film, tv and even sports as the gospel, leaving our 'own' thought process in somewhat of a vacuum.

IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

PERSEVERANCE....LOOK UP THIS GIRL 'RITA'.

I was determined that with perseverance and faith, at some point, someone would say, 'This girl has talent,' and would cast me in something meaningful.

I'M A NATURAL >>>>> YEAH RIGHT?

IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS;

I'M A NATURAL >>>>> YEAH RIGHT?


It is a talent that can be taught. With the right director and/or acting coach/teacher, actors who may have less native talent, can grow immeasurably, and be taught a considerable amount. It helps to have natural talent. These people are easy to spot. They make it look easy. For others, they have to work at it. As an actor for over 30 years, and now, a director and teacher, I'd like to believe that acting can be taught. I will say this: some of the best and most talented actors working today, were not always the most talented. Because there is so much more that goes into being a good actor: luck, hard work, careful observation, networking, patience, being a good colleague, and much, much more.
