Ted Danson still goes to an acting coach

January 30, 2009 by  

I love it when I hear how a big name actor still goes to an acting coach when he’s having questions.

This is from a Washington Post interview:

http://www.mpcer.nau.edu/riverreborn/images/danson_ted_abc.JPGYou’ve said you went to an acting coach before you started “Damages.” Did you need to learn how to be evil?

In drama — and I’m exaggerating — you can show up drunk, divorced and in a bad mood and the camera goes, “Oh, wow, that’s interesting.” All you have to do is be real and have fun in the moment . . . and here I am about to go play a billionaire narcissist. [Acting coach] Harold Guskin got me to stop being a nice actor. . . . There was an arrogance that he gave me to the acting process that was fun to play with.
