Losing your edge?
Thu, 15 May 2003, 12:56 amFor someone who is an intense actor, if one seeks some form of help to overcome personal demons, is it possible to lose your edge as an actor?

Tue, 20 May 2003, 11:34 amI agree with you Angelique - BTW - hi everyone, I'm finally back!!
As regards to losing one's edge - well I've been out of the Adult theatre groove for over two years now - and have just returned in The Elephant Man.
The break away was good I think, and I also had some personal demons to deal with (most of them still on-going), but I don't thnk it dulled my edge re: acting. In manys ways it's had the opposite effect - and although a feel a little 'rusty', what I've gone through has given me a new edge.
Life is the medium through which we learn about ourselves. Experiences, both good and bad, make us the incredible human beings we are and we should treasure all experiences.
As actors - the more experiences we have had - the more material we have to draw from.
