when mysterious accidents begin to happen whenever Charley's on

comedians. For thirty years he has been performing stand-up,
hosting TV shows and winning the hearts of a nation. Taking us from
the early days of the Sydney Stand Up scene to hosting his own

Sleepers: Orphans of the Cold War is a Sci-fi action roleplaying
game, with background by popular gaming author Ben Counter.
While many teachers claim that they teach the one and only valid
approach to acting, Adam Hill encourages students to learn the
complete craft and to never stop studying. In Beyond the Moon, he
delivers impassioned, insightful, and easy-to understand guidance
that will propel any actor to their next level of excellence-from
beginner to seasoned vet-as long as they are willing to take
responsibility and DO THE WORK. "What makes Adam Hill the best
acting teacher I've ever had? He is craft smart as well as show
business savvy. He demands excellence from his actors while never
being cruel. He has the unique ability to make the finest actor
even better." -Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond) "Preparation,
passion, education, and taking responsibility are the keys to your
success as an actor." -Adam Hill From Beyond the Moon: "A 'method'
is an opinion. Learn as many approaches and acting tools as
possible, then find the ones that work best for you. You will have
developed your own method... "Have a teacher who is going to
support you. Respect your teachers, but do not make gurus out of
them. Find someone who you feel has a sensitivity to people and a
life awareness. Find someone who teaches with love and not out of
anger or resentment... "For the advanced actor, study with the
teacher who can help you overcome your weaknesses. For example, if
you have problems with your emotional instrument, study with a
Strasberg teacher. If you are inconsistent being in the moment,
study with a Meisner teacher, etc...
