I want to throw a big shout to my friend Jose Arias who inspired me and challenged me to take an acting class at The Professional Actor’s Lab, David Rotenberg’s school of ridiculously talented people. I was a little nervous about what it would be like studying there as a transwoman, but Jose told me he went to class last session in drag. (Jose is also a fabulous drag queen named Dyna Thyrst and has played trans characters on TV.) I figured if he could be trans there, so could I. Thanks for having so much guts, Jose! He was also cool enough to take me to meet Bruce Clayton (my teacher) and agreed to be my first scene partner. It’s proving to be an awesome ride! Oh, and, here is my buddy Jose in his commercial for Mac’s bringing the campy LOL’s!!!
