      DOS Ch-154 Cover
      by Fable Weaver January 2006, Los Angeles, CA, USAIt had been so long since I had won a major award that I had almost forgotten the feeling of winning anything substantial. My last award worth talking about was a Tony, and that was nearly four years ago. I can't really describe the feeling in words, but I felt like I was on top of the world. While the Golden Globes don't guarantee an Oscar win, they certainly mean that I've become a serious contender for the award now."Troy to Earth!" Mum called out to me. "Come on, son,…

      by Fable Weaver The Hollywood Reporter – ★★★★☆ – Carina Chocano: “A deliriously funny coming-of-age riot that somehow balances dick jokes with genuine emotional depth. Troy Armitage proves he’s not just a dramatic powerhouse—he’s a comedic revelation. The script is the soul of the movie. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the writers are the true hero of the movie.”Variety – ★★★★★ – Mick LaSalle: “ isn’t just super good—it’s super great. A raunchy teen comedy with a heart, the film…

      by Fable Weaver “For the first scene,” Stephen Daldry began his explanation, “we’ll start with your dance sequence on the street, which you’ll take to the roof. As you dance, Jamie Bell will watch you from there,” he pointed to a spot where Bell was standing, “and Jamie Draven will watch you from there,” Draven, who played Billy’s brother, waved from the window to which I reciprocated. “Peter says you know the whole thing very well by now.”“Oh yes, Mr. Darling and I have practiced it a lot,” I…

      by Fable Weaver The sun hung lazily in the sky, casting a golden glow over the slightly wet sand that stretched seemingly endlessly before us. The waves lapped gently at the shore, creating a soothing rhythm that was a world away from the chaos of film sets and bustling cities. I took a deep breath, inhaling the salty sea air, and felt a wave of contentment wash over me. The sunshine was perfect for me. Too bad my contract forbade me from sunbathing while the films were in production. This was heaven.I can't believe I…

      DOS Ch-100 Cover
      by Fable Weaver I blame my teenage hormones for agreeing to Emily’s request. Any sane person would tell me that this is a very bad idea. Kissing someone for a scene is one thing, but doing it for ‘practice’ while all alone was unnecessary and almost as bad as cheating. I knew that very well. Still, I agreed to Emily’s request for reasons that I couldn’t fathom.But it wasn’t meant to be. As if some divine power was watching over me, I got a call from Emma right at the moment when Emily was about to kiss…

      by Fable Weaver June, 2005, Arizona, USAI couldn't help but curse my luck as soon as I ran into the living room. The lively atmosphere on set had been immediately dampened by Toni's scream. Everyone was gathered around Alan Arkin, who was lying flat on the floor with his eyes closed. Toni Collette was hovering over him.As soon as I crouched beside her, she turned to me in panic. "We've called 9-1-1, but they'll take some time to get here. Do you know CPR?"I didn't. I opened my mouth to say so, but then I noticed something…

      by Fable Weaver “You have around $900 million in stock, give or take a few tens of millions,” Andrew Cohen said with a smug grin.Meanwhile, I sat there dumbfounded, unsure what to do with all that money.“That,” he added, “when combined with your 20% stake in Crocs, 70% in YouTube, and more than $100 million sitting in your bank account from your earnings for , officially makes you a billionaire now. Because it’s difficult to value those two companies, I’m not sure how much your net worth will come out to be…

      by Fable Weaver I felt ecstatic. Seeing the people around me clapping as if their lives depended on it was amazing. I know most people clap more enthusiastically at premieres because of the cast and crew's presence, but it still felt wonderful knowing that the film we had spent so much time perfecting had resonated with viewers. I turned towards the movie's writer, Evan Spader, who looked close to tears. I could understand that sentiment. Your first movie is always special. I still remember attending that first…
