Philosophy:
Mr. Forchion believes the secret of acting is that there is no secret. The craft of acting must be de-mystified and made more practical and immediate. Acting is a state of being and action, not of introspection and self indulgence. No Mumbo Jumbo! Raymond gets the performer out of his own head and allows him to be presented to the marketplace. Raymond’s philosophy is that an actor has to keep active and visible. Actors also need to be nurtured. The business beats us up enough. The greatest actor in the world if he or she is unseen, is often considered bad as the worst.
