Everyone wins their Oscars and other awards for their serious, dramatic portrayals, but anyone who has ever spent any time around actors will tell you, 100%, that comedy is the harder genre. Comedic timing can’t be taught, but it can be perfected, and when you see it come together in a flash of brilliance, there’s...

Disney is internationally known for its magical amusement parks and children’s movies. I myself am a BIG Disney movie fan. (I still have some of the originals on VHS tape!) But Disney movies aren’t all singing candlesticks and beautiful princesses. Many Disney movies tackle real issues, with characters experiencing universal emotions like loss, grief, remorse,...

Many of us know Clancy Brown by voice, not by face. He’s the actor bringing life to the cheapskate, money-crazy crustacean of Bikini Bottom, Mr. Krabs – a beloved icon to kids growing up in the 90’s and early 00’s.
