      by Fable Weaver The next day on set, I was met with a very apologetic Jamie.“Troy, I’m very sorry for my behavior yesterday. I hope you can forgive me,” Jamie pleaded, bending slightly at the front with his hands joined in a universal begging motion.“Okay,” I answered simply.Jamie looked up in surprise. “Okay?”I shrugged. “What else do you want me to do? Humiliate you? That’s what kids do. One piece of advice from me, though: if you want to survive in the industry for long, either make sure not to offend…

      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 After a whole month of relentless dance rehearsals and dialect lessons, it was finally time for the table read.As soon as I sat down, I saw that most of the people had already arrived. I immediately recognized Stephen Daldry from my audition, and of course, Peter Darling, my dance teacher. Then there were Greg and Jon, the producers I met while signing the contract. Jon was an okay guy, but Greg seemed a bit stiff when we last met.Among the cast members present, I instantly recognized the most famous one,…

      by Fable Weaver Ring Ring“Hello?” Mum answered the phone in our living room, “Yes, this is his mother, Kathy.”She paused for a moment before a blinding smile lit up her face. “Oh, that’s wonderful news. Of course, we can come down to discuss terms. Tomorrow? Yes, that’s doable.”As soon as she put down the phone, she gave me the beaming smile she usually did. “You got the part!”Although it was the third movie I’d be doing and the second movie involving an audition, I still felt elated at the…

      by Fable Weaver “Aunt Tiffany!” “Midget!” We hugged like long-lost lovers.It might seem a little out of character for me, but I cherished the idea of having a relative like an aunt or a cousin because I didn’t have any biological relatives beyond my mother. Tiffany was very cool with everything, at least the two times we met. I had only met her boyfriend, Beaumont, once, and that too was a brief encounter that didn’t go beyond exchanging pleasantries.“Are you trying to steal my woman?” Beau asked in a…

      by Fable Weaver “Troy,” Peter, my dance instructor, called out to me when the class was over, “Is by any chance any of your parents here to pick you up?”That question sent a shiver down my spine. After all his full name is Peter Darling. Who in their right mind would continue using such a horrendous family name?“Yes, usually my Mum comes.” I answered with uncertainty, “She must be waiting outside. Is there a problem?”While I didn’t show anything on my face, I was ready to run away and shout at a moment's…

      DOS Ch-30 Cover
      by Fable Weaver After a brief stay in Los Angeles to gather our stuff, we flew back to London. London was crowded, loud, cold, and wet. Yet, it was home. As much as the sunny days of LA enticed me, nothing could beat the cloudy skies of London in my 10-year-old self’s opinion. In the long run, I knew that staying in London after Harry Potter was impractical, yet I intended to enjoy this time as much as I could.Most Hollywood filmmakers stayed in or around Los Angeles, making it difficult for London-based actors to…

      by Fable Weaver February turned to March, and my days followed a steady, fulfilling routine. My weekdays were meticulously structured: three to four hours of intensive study sessions, one to one-and-a-half hours of immersive music lessons, and an hour and a half each dedicated to vigorous dance and martial arts training. Weekends were my sanctuary, offering a respite from the demanding schedule. I often sought solace in the nearby park, where the chirping of birds and rustling of leaves provided a serene backdrop as I…

      DOS Ch-29 Cover
      by Fable Weaver After that day, the shooting progressed relatively smoothly. There were days when we could get as much as 10 scenes in a day and there were days when even one scene was difficult to wrap up.But the overall shooting experience was very good. I learned a lot from the director, the camera/sound crew, and my co-actors. One of the most difficult things as an actor is to make sure to know where to look or stand for that matter. Or as they call it, 'to hit the mark'.This may seem trivial to a layman, but we have…

      by Fable Weaver We didn’t win the award for the best TV movie/ Miniseries. , a miniseries produced by Tom Hanks won that one. My parents didn’t mind it much (or at least that’s what they portrayed in front of me.)Then it was time for the event for which we had initially come here. The after party. Most of the studios hold their own parties and they are open for most celebrities, especially the winners. Seeing my age, my parents had told me with certainty that we would only be going to the party of Warner Bros./HBO…
