the tallest tale of them all

I have sung the praises of Ira Glass, the creator of This American Life , before on this blog. I never get tired of his fastidious, fascinating mind.

This particular story is an incredible yarn about a hedge fund that seemingly single-handedly inflamed the recent financial crisis.

Actors can learn a lot from Ira's determination to understand what happened, and why.

on the character actor

A nice New York Times piece on the plight/path of the character actor. The money quote, for my money anyway:

the very best character actors are made of equal parts discipline and madness


Madness, madness, where have I heard that before?

Oh, that's right, here.
