In February, my son Jeff completes his second year at AMDA and will be a Junior. AMDA is American Musical and Dramatic Acadamy in Los Angeles. As he begins his third year, he is now able to try out for parts in commercials, television shows, and movies. He was restricted by the school from trying out for parts before now.
He really does not want me talking too much about his school so I'll try not to. I just say that he is working towards his BFA degree (Batchelors in Fine Arts) and is hoping to work as a screen actor. His school is at Yucca and Vine street, about two blocks from Hollywood and Vine, so he is right there in the mix. He has personally seen many famous actors and musicians, and has been on Jimmy Kimmel Live himself as part of the audience. He has had many opportunities to go to premieres and, at one, sat in the row behind the actors.
At his semester break we are going to take his car out to him in Los Angeles.
His girlfriend Jessica is part of the musical program at AMDA and is hopeful to do acting in musical theater once she graduates. They are moving into an off-campus apartment next month with another couple from the school.
Jeff has gotten a lot of positive feedback on his acting skills from the teachers at AMDA and is very excited about his future opportunities.
