Backstage – Read More Books, Be a Better Actor, By Charis Joy Jackson
Are you looking for fresh inspiration for your acting or even life in general? The good news is you don’t have to trek across the globe to find it (unless you want to); if you’ve got a local library or bookstore or even a stack of novels you’ve been meaning to read, that inspiration is at your fingertips. The simple act of reading not only helps expand your horizons, it can help you become the best version of yourself while also helping your acting career have more of that ever-elusive x-factor.
Reading increases your empathy.
When you read—especially if it’s a story about someone completely the opposite of your personality—you get a glimpse of how that person feels, thinks, and what motivates him to move one way or another.
This is a huge benefit for the actor who is struggling to connect with a character they don’t relate to. It’s also helpful in offering a non-stereotypical approach to an unfamiliar character, helping you think outside the box for a more original and believable response. Read Entire Artice Here

Variety – ‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’ Targets $50 Million-Plus Opening, By Rebecca Rubin
Tom Cruise’s mission, should he choose to accept it, is to steal the box office crown.
Paramount’s “Mission: Impossible – Fallout” looks to easily win the weekend, where the franchise’s sixth installment is eyeing a North American debut between $50 million and $65 million.

The highest-grossing iteration is “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” ($694.7 million), followed by “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” ($682.7 million), and “Mission: Impossible 2” ($546.4 million).
