Matt Hamilton In Hallmark Network Films
When watching Hallmark network films, it is quite common to see certain actors featured regularly, and sometimes we don't even think about learning their names or looking up their other works, especially if they are in supporting roles. However, I have discovered that if I delve a little bit deeper, I often find that I come across incredible talent, and I understand why Hallmark chooses to highlight these gifted actors again and again. Matt Hamilton is one such actor. No matter what role he tackles, his presence on screen cannot be ignored, and he is one of those memorable personages. Recently, I had the opportunity to chat with Matt about his nontraditional journey into acting as well as his upcoming works, including Death Al Dente: A Gourmet …show more content…
And here's the funny thing about The Bridge--my role in it. I have the worst hair in the history of film in this movie. It's kind of a funny story. I was doing make-up for the first day, and my hair was like it normally is. It was back. Then me and Wyatt turn around--he is a great guy by the way. He and Kate are so aweome. And so someone looked at Wyatt and me and said, "You two could be brothers." Then the director, Mike {Rohl}, came over and said, "Yeah, actually." And the producer came over and said, "Yeah, let's change Matt's hair." mh2They did it on set, and so they were ironing my hair down in the opposite way in front of my face, and I could feel that it wasn't gonna be good. They finished, and then Mike and the producer came over and said, "Oh, good that's good. Let's go."And I said, "You sure? Nothing feels like it looks good." And they were like, "Oh no, it's fine." And so I took my phone out and did the selfie thing, and it was horrendous. They ironed it out over my face. They said it worked well for a record producer in that movie. And so I was on set seven or eight days, and my hair became the running joke. They had to iron my hair down, and the hairdresser was so cute, she kept saying, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry." But it was funny. Everyone in that movie looks so handsome, attractive, and then there's this idiot with the worst

    In Lisa McMann's The Unwanteds many characters are used to weave a great story, each with their own motives and personality. Although there are many main characters in the book, two of the most important ones are Mr. Today and Alex Stowe. Marcus Today is the founder and leader of Artimé, a magical place of creativity. He is eccentric, creative, and cheerful, shown by his always garishly colorful clothing. Whenever he meets someone, he does it with a smile on his face, as shown on page 31 “Mr. Today, who had been gazing and smiling and taking in the sights of these new and wonderful people, watching their faces”.…

    Matt Dillion for example, really sold his performance as racist cop who abuses his authority. Dillon does a good job in showing how his character has a self-realization when he is pulling Thadie Newton’s character out of the burning car. She refuses his help because earlier in the movie he sexual harassed her, but Dillon’s character eventually gets her to put that aside and get her out of the fire. Dillion does an excellent job of showing how his character changed in that scene on how he should not abuse his authority on people. Another actor who did a good job was Ryan Phillippe. He played a cop who always tried to do the right thing but ends up killing a man who he thought had a gun but did not. Phillippe did a good job of showing how is character did the wrong thing when he shoots Larenz Tate’s character Peter. These two scenes show how both actors Matt Dillon and Ryan Phillippe sold their performances as a racist cop and a cop who wants to do the right…

    Most people in today's society do not stray far from what is perceived as normal, but some people dare to do extraordinary things. People such as Philippe Petit featured in the documentary Man on Wire and Timothy Treadwell featured in the documentary Grizzly Man. These two individuals share many similarities in regard to what they are willing to do to achieve their goals. They also share differences in regard to how they think and how they respond to fame. I intend to delve deeper into their characters and compare them with each other.…

I am sure this is true of many of them but I feel compelled to take a more serious approach tonight.…

    At this point in the class there are quite a few characters that we, as a class, could have chosen to write our character analysis on. For my character analysis I have chosen to write it on John Bickerson “Binx” Bolling from The Moviegoer. Binx, right from the beginning seemed as if he was going to be the protagonist in the story. He was the main focus throughout the majority of the book. He also was like the “hero” in the book, but instead of being like a normal strong, brave, or outgoing hero he was more on the settled and quiet side. He was more along the lines of just being a major character rather than the “hero” in the story. Binx also was a character in this book that kept me on my toes always thinking and that had me interested throughout…

    Biographically themed movie productions continue to envelop the Hollywood landscape – serving as a means to reenact and interpret a majority of history’s most memorable moments (for better or worse). In the last month alone, depictions of Bobby Fisher (Pawn Sacrifice) and Whitey Bulger (Black Mass) are just two examples of cinematic incarnations that have served to entertain and semi-education observers.…

    “ If you lay down, people will step over you. But if you keep scrambling, if you keep going, someone will always, always give you a hand. Always. But you gotta keep dancing, you gotta keep your feet moving” (Brainyquote, n.d.). This quote was stated by Morgan Freeman, a respected individual in the entertainment business. I chose him as my research project because I’ve seen him in a lot of movies and I wanted to know more about him. I think it was interesting to see that, though he was a good actor as a kid, he never really wanted to do it as a career until later. Morgan Freeman has changed the entertainment business for the better with his amazing acting and narration skills.…

    Absorbed in my laptop screen, I watched as Josh Gad, then a young man clad in a dapper, cinereal suit and burgundy tie, delivered the speech that changed my perspective. “As Al Pachino so eloquently states in the movie Scent of a Woman: ‘hoo ha,’” Gad shifts his gaze across his audience, “that’s it. That’s all he stated.” The audience erupts into incessant laughter as soon-to-be National Forensic League Original Oratory champion proudly and confidently soaks it all in. Josh Gad became my aspiration; a two time Original Oratory and a one time Humorous Interpretation Champion. As my interest in performance extended beyond that of the speech and debate realm, I fell in love with his origination of the role Elder Cunningham in the Book of Mormon. So when I finally discovered that he received his B.F.A. at Carnegie Mellon’s College of Fine Arts, I knew that I had to follow his advice and “strive to take the chance” in applying to the same program.…

    Almost every one of the characters in Crash plays a role of prejudice, ignorance or racial profiling. I can make this judgment based on various scenes from the movie. One character I believe fills an important role in this movie is Ryan Philippe’s as the racist cop’s partner. I think he is very naïve and has the most to learn about himself. I believe this because although he complains about his partner, he doesn’t have to courage to even write a report about his actions. I think the author choose him to be the only person to kill someone for a specific reason. It showed that he, the one who said he was nothing like his partner, was very quick to judge and react to his false judgment when he killed the detective’s brother. I think that…

    In “I am Legend” the author picks a mentally and physically strong human being. His name was Robert Neville. Neville is the main character in the novel, and most of the story revolves around him. The author picked Neville only because he is indeed a legend of his own; being the last human to survive in a community that was quickly being transformed into vampire like creatures. Neville was a rather tall, and had 36 years of life under his belt. He is a English-German descent, has blonde hair, and blue eyes (page 14). Neville was previously married, and used to be apart of what he called his community of friends before they all started getting the plague that later leads to vampirism. So, why is Neville a legend?…
