      DOS Ch-40 Cover
      by Fable Weaver When the mic was set up, I turned to Oprah, “The song I’m playing is one that I wrote when I had a fight with my best friend. We haven’t talked in a while because I was busy shooting, so Evan, consider this an apology from me. This is the first time I’m playing it in front of anyone, so don’t be too harsh on me.”Oprah’s eyes widened slightly as I announced that. Like any good songwriter, I needed a backstory to write a song. Adults write songs about heartbreak, or their romantic relationships…

      by Fable Weaver Moving to L.A. was hectic. To start things off, we had to complete my official adoption and file the papers with the authorities. I decided to keep my original name, Troy Francis Armitage to honor my late father Frank Armitage.  Then we had to get a passport and visa for me. As Steve was a US citizen, it wasn’t too difficult to get a visa. At one point, Steve suggested that I give up my British citizenship and become a full-fledged American, but I was hesitant. Thankfully, Kathy…

      by Fable Weaver M. Night Shyamalan took the stage after a few minutes and cleared his throat to gain everyone’s attention, “Thank you for watching our movie, hopefully, you liked it. Now we are opening the floor for any questions from you guys for any of the cast members.”Immediately, a myriad of hands rose in the air after all the actors took their seats on the chairs placed on the stage.“Yes, you, the lady in blue,” Night pointed out to the said lady.“Thank you,” she said into the mic that was handed to…

      by Fable Weaver After wrapping up ‘Dancer’, Mum and I had to return to the States for the promotion of . The fact that I was recognized by three different people on my flight because of ‘the upcoming Bruce Willis movie’ showed that Disney’s promotion strategy was working wonderfully.At the end of the day, it was about the number of people who were aware of the film. Once people knew about the film, it came down to reviews and word of mouth. Not to mention, Bruce Willis’ mass appeal, which automatically…

      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 “It’s called impostor syndrome,” Scarlett said in a soft voice. “It’s the most common psychological problem actors have to face. And this is especially true for actors who are good at their jobs. People praise us so much that we start doubting their words.” “I’m not a psycho,” I retorted. “I don’t have any issues.” Scarlett gave me an unimpressed look but didn’t argue. Her fixed stare was enough to make me avert my gaze. “Have you ever faced this impostor syndrome?” I…

      by Fable Weaver Christopher Nolan looked at the man who had made the movie possible, Troy Armitage, who was getting ready for today's shoot. For a brief time, had been as good as scrapped. "If Troy doesn't appear in the sequel, people won't watch the movie," Jonathan Nolan, Christopher's brother and co-writer of the screenplay, had said seriously. "The film made as much money as it did because of the surprise reveal at the end about his identity. And he was the soul of the movie. If he's not coming back, we may as…

      by Fable Weaver The movie opened with the characters played by Steve Carell and Julianne Moore on a dinner date together. Steve's character asked his wife what she wanted for dessert, and she responded with something completely unexpected. “I want a divorce.” What seemed like a happy couple suddenly found their marriage falling apart.

      by Fable Weaver “Thank you for joining us, Troy,” Christopher Nolan greeted the biggest superstar in their cast genially. “Come on, take a seat, and we can start discussing the movie.” I took the offered seat and smiled at everyone already gathered around the table. Christian Bale, who was sitting beside me, clasped my hand as if we were old friends. Other than him, there were Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman, all reprising their roles from the last movie. But there were some new additions as…

      by Fable Weaver “Cut!” The cameras stopped rolling almost immediately, and we both let out sighs of relief. “Don’t tell me you want to cast me in ?” Emily asked as soon as the mics were removed from us. “Fuck no,” I stated bluntly. “I won’t cast any of my friends in that film unless they beg me to, because I know it’s gonna make a lot of money, but it’ll sexualize you for years to come.” “Since when did you start caring about sexualizing actors? And if it was such a concern, why…
