                        That would be a good video if he would focus. You never get to see exactly what he thinks is so great.

                        For me, the first test of an actor is do I see the actor or the character.

                                          Did you know that the white and red stripes on a windsock are not for decoration?

                                          They actually indicate precise wind speeds.

                                          Here's how.
