Quote of the Day: A word from THESE PAPER BULLETS star Justin Kirk...
"There is probably some great acting that goes on in movies from people who have never been on a stage, but if you are in for the long haul, you'd be missing an enormous part of what being an actor is if you're not part of theater."
-- Justin Kirk (via BrainyQuote)
