Interview with
actor
'Kane Manera'

Kane, it’s nice to talk with today. Why don’t you share alittle about yourself?

I'm from Perth, Australia. I graduated from college there with a Bachelor of
Arts, but have acted since I was a child, most of my experience coming from
the theatre.


 

 

After a vacation to Los Angeles I decided the thing I loved doing the most could potentially become my source of income and consequently I started searching for acting schools that would satisfy my desire to improve and hone my craft. A flight to New York to audition for the Stella dler Studio of Acting Conservatory Programme was followed by acceptance and
luckily I find myself still here in the city I love, recently completing Alan Rowe Kelly's "The Blood Shed", a role in "A Guide To Hunting and Fishing" opposite Alec Baldwin and Sarah Michelle Gellar, and the completion of the off Broadway production of Spoon River Anthology.


                                    

Who was the person or persons that inspired you to become an actor?

My parents undying support, to follow a path that isn't socially conventional, has been incredible inspiration when those moments of doubt everyone feels invade. But insofar as actors performances and careers, Marlon Brando's exceptional charisma coupled with an understanding for the human conditionand the way Edward Norton combines his talent with exceptional choices of material and a separation of his personal life, are of great inspiration.


What was it like to play the role you play in "Blood Shed?"

Fun, fun and more fun. Geoffrey was written to be Australian, allowing me to use my dialect for the first time in years. As well as that, being in the entertainment industry, it wasn't difficult to envisage the most obnoxiouse aspects and clichesof every fashion photographer and embody them.

Tell me about your role in "Dead Serious?"

The majority of the time I'm running around as a vampire looking for prey. I
had so much make up, prosthetics and fake blood poured over me, that it was
almost like being a child playing.

Do you have any future projects coming up?

Bart Mastronardi's "Vindication", in which I play the most interesting
character I've yet to play. I'm beyond human. It's pretty exciting.


And of course I have to ask, what is one of your favorite films? (It doesn't have to be horror)

Apocalypse Now is hard to beat, but that's today, by tomorrow it could change.

I have one last question, who would you consider your favorite actor to be?

Marlon Brando
