Inspiration Week, Part 5

Inspiration Week is coming to a close.  I gotta tell you - I have loved writing about my friends this week.  Not only are they all great and deserving of recognition but it was a lovely break from talking about myself all the dang time!  It just feels good to let people know how much they mean to you - especially when they may not even realize the impact they are making.  So, without further ado, I give you.....

Reid Gormly


I mean, come on.  Look at him.  How can you not adore him already?  He's our next "Tom Hanks" - the Everyman with acting chops that will floor you.  Reid and I met - you guessed it - at Ivana's but we met early on in our journey at the studio.  We were in the advanced level together and became quick friends even before we worked as scene partners together.  He is a man with a good heart and a quick wit.  He is also one of the most loyal friends you could hope for - he was there during some very tough times this year and I am forever grateful for that.

Beyond being a solid-gold buddy to have, he is the acting partner you want to have on your team.  The type of person that he is comes through in his work - generous, compassionate and supportive.  It is no wonder that he continues to work steadily in theatre all around LA and worked on House this year.  He's a triple-threat that can sing, dance and act - you should have seen him in West Side Story!  Oh, wait.  Make that a quadruple-threat:  He's a writer, too.   He has been developing a series with his friends and has serious parties, seriously interested.  Reid is a talent that is worth keeping your eye on - he is going places and he deserves all the good that is headed his way. He is an example of talent and integrity and I am lucky to count him as my friend.
