Playing A Gangster?

Since I've been in the Drama Guild I have been challenged to do many things from doing  a play with a broken foot to playing a character that doesn't even speak English, but I never had to really play a part that relates so much to my community and something that I know so little about. I just hope I am able to portray this role with accuracy and I hope this turns out to be a great year! =D

    I played one part who seemed a lot different from me back in the day. What helped me was figuring out you don't need to know everything. Just play it honest. I figured out what I had in common with my character, and worked from there. You don't have to be a gangster to realize that gangsters are human, and you can identify with them, even if you don't agree with everything they do.

    It sounded to me like you were actually feeling closer to this character. That can also be challenging but I'll be it will make your performance more meaningful to you and we'll feel it more in the audience!
