Anthony O'Brien
Director
“He is a student of the work and he’s an actor and he is very expressive of his beliefs. He doesn’t try to push it on you, but he just has a body of knowledge on a scene and how he feels a scene should feel, and the rhythm of the scene and then he just has a body of information so he gives you so many different analogies that can connect you to a place where you’re like ‘Oh okay, you know what, I didn’t think about it that way, let me try it that way. And being that he’s an actor he understands the subtext and he understands where you’re going and that within one scene you can express an arc. I like that about him.”
“He is an amazing director. He’s just wonderful- and he has a very clear vision. He is one of my favorites.”
