The following is a quote from a bio that i was reading on playbill.com:
"This is Gleason's Broadway debut. He received a BS in psychology from Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia and "went off into the world of business for four years before taking the plunge into acting," according to his bio."
okay, so he is only the new replacement for Raoul in POTO, but regardless...i love that there are people who did the whole 4 year degree thing (like me!) who then go ahead and dive head first into acting. it makes me feel like i didn't waste time in college and that maybe someday i have a shot at still attaining what i want in a career!

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

If college is a waste of your time and money, then don't freakin' go. Because, if that's your attitude, it probably IS a waste. But I fail to see how four years, where your primary purpose is to read and learn new things...often on someone else's dime, could possibly be a bad thing.

Posted: 5/28/05 at 5:37pmIf you measure your life in terms of total monetary profits, you're probably wasting it anyway.
