    "Interview With Brian Anthony Wilson Part 3"

    Most of the time, being an actor isn't different from any other job: you punch the clock and bring your lunch pail to work. Adn then there are moments like this: "I was working on an 80 million dollar budget movie in 1997, going out first class, had a limo in the hood, all that stuff. The drug dealers are like 'Yo, whassup man?' 'Ain't nothin', man, ain't nothin''"  I'm Michael E. Russo, and we'll conclude our conversation with Philadelphia acting legend Brian Anthony Wilson in this episode of the Creative Care Unit.

Russo, and we'll continue our conversaion with His Majesty, actor Brian Antony Wilson, in this episode of the Creative Care Unit.

    Creative Care Unit Episode 30

    When you're a Creative and you're just starting out on your artictic journey, who you study with makes all the difference in the world, Don't you agree? "In other fields it doesn't very much matter who your teachers were. I don't think bankers say 'Oh, I studied with So and So, or doctors coming out of the medical school make a point of explaining their tutorial lineage. But for people in the music field, and especially for composers, I would say it matters a great deal." I'm Michael E Russo, and we'll talk more about that and other topics with composer David Francis Urrows in this episode of the Creative Care Unit.
