Taking risks is important when it comes to your growth as an actor. Risk taking gives everything the actor does a certain edge to it. The actor is anything but predictable and this can add real impact to the performance. Actors who push themselves to the limits of their ability and who are willing to take risks are actors that are well worth watching and working with.
Wise words from master actor and director Robert Redford

Student News
The new ABC-TV comic-drama series Les Norton, starring Alexander Bertrand as Les and featuring one of the school’s alumni Justin Rosniak in the role of Eddie Salita, fixer and right-hand man to underworld racing figure and nightclub owner Price Galese (David Wenham.)
Justin is menacing and funny as Eddie and knowing Justin’s larrikin streak as I do, I’d wager he had a ball filming the role.

Also featured in a recent episode of Les Norton was Rob Flanagan who played the very nasty Colin, the Cockney concreter.
