The Actor - CHRIS CHALK IS SET TO HIT BROADWAY IN “FENCES” AND MY HEART SMILES

February 17, 2010

I realize it has been a little while since I last blogged. Thus, I wanted to write a quick one and share the exciting news of my dear friend, and fellow actor Chris Chalk, whom I mentioned in my previous blog. He has landed a role on Broadway, opposite two-time academy award winning actor Denzel Washington, in August Wilson’s “Fences!”

Needless to say, I could not be more thrilled for him. No one deserves this more because he is not only extremely talented, but also giving, kind and a wonderful person and friend as well. He and I first met in college where we were getting our Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in acting and theatre. Since then, he has been a big part of both my family’s and my life, and we support him all the way and could not be prouder!

The play is set to hit Broadway, in previews, on April 14^th, at the Cort Theatre. So, if you, or any of your friends, find time in New York City, and feel like taking in a show and/or seeing Denzel Washington right in front of you, I would love for you to check it out and help to support Chris! He is the last person to brag about his accomplishments or spread the word. Instead he is always so humble and gracious. Therefore, I have decided to take on the role of a fan, in this moment, and spread the word myself!

On a side note, I have received e-mails asking about getting into the acting industry in general and how one goes about getting started later in life. These are great questions, and I would love to be able to offer some insight and any help I can on the topic. Therefore, next week, I plan to blog about just that and welcome any of your thoughts, in the comment section below or via e-mail, on it as well. Until then, know that my heart is smiling for Chris, and that I appreciate each of you stopping by!
