Why Constance Wu Is a Top Actress


In 2006, Constance Wu launched her movie career. She played Jenn in Stephanie Daley. Her second movie was The Architect starring Anthony LaPaglia and Viola Davis. Years later, she would not only make movies but TV history!

Born in Richmond Virginia, the actress started her career in theater and transitioned to the silver screen. Did you know she worked as a waitress and once served Bill Murray? After Crazy Rich Asians and Fresh Off the Boat, it is a safe bet to say she won’t serve tables for a living again.

They say success doesn’t happen overnight. Constance Wu’s career has been a gradual rise. In all fairness, some movies should have been made a decade ago. I believe Constance Wu is a top actress. She is also a beautiful Asian actress.

I don’t see any reason why we can’t compare her to Lucy Liu or Sandra Oh. She paid her dues, and it is time to recognize her value. Constance Wu is one of the best in show business and has a place in Hollywood, but I believe her work is being underestimated.


The Good News

Fans are supporting Constance Wu in more ways than one. First, Constance Wu’s recent 2018 movie Crazy Rich Asians made $238.5 million at the box office. Second, Fresh Off the Boat is renewed for a sixth season. That’s part of the reason why Wu is the leading actress in the 2019 Hustlers movie. The movie is based on a true story. Are you excited to see it?

Her Hustlers costars include Jennifer Lopez, Keke Palmer, Cardi B, and Lili Reinhart. With such a great cast, I expect the acting and soundtrack to be award-winning. There is too much talent in Hustlers for this movie to fly under the radar.

 The film feels authentic and I know fans will enjoy every minute. I think the trailer and promotional materials are high quality. Overall, they’re doing a good job marketing this film. I’m looking forward to seeing it come September 13.

I believe Constance Wu is in a terrific position to make a lot of money or win an Oscar. It is up to her how far she takes it. The ball is in her court.

      I would like to compare Constance Wu to Sofia Vergara and Eva Longoria. The actresses are all similar because they have highly rated TV shows in their past. Fresh Off the Boat made TV history like Modern Family and Desperate Housewives. Still, Wu shouldn’t be wholly defined by the show’s success, neither should Vergara and Longoria. Longoria has had incredible success outside TV. In other words, Constance can hold her own.

Right now, she is a respected actress because she is true to the craft. Did you know she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) from the State University of New York, Purchase? Constance is a certified thespian who understands what she brings to the table. She has gained the experience and now she has endless opportunity. Give it to her.

Tom-Tom: How Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise Control Hollywood

BY: GURU JAY
Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise represent strong ideologies. I know where you think I’m going with this. Hold on a second.
I won’t discuss Scientology although the subject matter might generate considerable attention for me and controversy. The ideologies I’m referring to are their mentalities and philosophies about approaching acting and filmmaking. I consider Tom Hanks to be the best actor. And I believe Tom Cruise is the best movie star.
I call this phenomenon Tom-Tom. Tom-Tom is a popular navigation tool aka GPS. This device pinpoints location and directs drivers to destinations. Without question, Tom-Tom’s creator created one of technology’s greatest breakthroughs.
Because of satellites, software, and advanced mappings, we arrive at point B more precisely. Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise combine their talents and efforts to create Hollywood’s own Tom-Tom. Their movies have long influenced the entertainment business like no others.
In a sense, they control Hollywood’s current with their well-polished wind turbines and fancy solar panels, which brings me to my question. How much energy can two people generate?

Show Tom Cruise more respect for his acting ability. In order to perform at the peak, one needs peak skills. What is the Mission Impossible movie franchise without the franchise player? The notion that a movie star can’t be an actor and vice versa is false. Cruise should have won an Oscar because the actor is undeniably great.
Also, ask a Tom Hanks fan if she considers the Forrest Gump actor to be a movie star. I’m here to say you can get a taste of the best of both worlds. It’s been proven that life is full of possibilities. Always ask what if…? because you’re unlimited when passion takes over.
I respect Hanks and Cruise because they navigate their waters like Christopher Columbus. Both men command their ships like captains. Here’s a great segue.
Tom Hanks’ performance in Captain Phillipswas one for the ages. How does he keep getting better with every film? What director doesn’t fantasize about casting the Castaway?
Moreover, Vanilla Sky remains one of my favorite movies. I wonder if Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz would ever tie the knot. I could watch Vanilla Skyeveryday because of the onscreen relationship between Cruise and Diaz.
In closing, Tom-Tom controls Hollywood. All films schools (worth their tuition) should study Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise. What is more, Tom-Tom movies are worth their prices of admissions.

Why Anna Faris Is Scarce

BY: GURU JAY


Anna Faris carved her career path with a machete. She started professionally acting in Hollywood after auditioning for Scary Movie. In fact, Scary Movie was her very first audition.
Actors deal with rejection on a regular basis. Moreover, an actress rarely receives a callback after only one audition. That’s why Anna Farris is scarce.
Celebrities must subscribe to the foot in the door strategy. I call this the Hollywood Hokey Pokey. “You put you’re right foot in, you take you’re right foot out, you do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around and that’s what it’s all about.” Becoming famous like Anna Faris simply involves taking steps toward your goals.
Although Anna Faris was born in Baltimore, Maryland, she was raised in a small town near Seattle, Washington. Eventually, Anna arrived at Tinseltown with a dream.

Showbiz provides abundant opportunities, although the likelihood of someone striking riches is slim. Luckily Anna disregarded the statistics and overcame the odds. The actress possesses a burning passion for theatre.
This thespian’s skills are underestimated. She can play comedic roles and serious parts. Farris deserves recognition for her performance in Brokeback Mountain.
She is known for making you laugh and cry like Kate Hudsonby playing stereotypical roles such as the amazingly attractive but dumb blonde. In reality, Anna Faris is a bright brunette. Locking down husband Chris Pratt was a smart decision. It goes both ways because Pratt is fortunate to have married the sweet and kind Hollywood actress. Additionally, she is a good reason why he’s such a hot commodity.

Girls like Anna Faris are scarce. Right now she is probably in the kitchen cooking a Rachael Ray recipe and rehearsing lines with Chris. The celebrity likely has Martha Stewart’s phone number on speed dial. The House Bunny runs her home efficiently. Anna is a good wife and mother.
If you’re an aspiring actress, entertainer, or celebrity learn your lesson from Anna Faris. She is confident in her techniques but she isn’t smug. And she’s always ready for her close-up.

Who Is the Best? Michelle Rodriguez Vs. Eva Mendes

BY: GURU JAY

  
Michelle Rodriguez
You won’t find another action movie star like Michelle Rodriguez. She is a mixture of Pam Grier and Angelina Jolie. Have you seen Foxy Brown and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider?
The movie business demands the most from actresses. Michelle Rodriguez has proven she is worth her weight in gold. That’s why Rodriguez receives the first call when studio executives are looking for a Latina to put in their pictures.
Did you know the San Antonio native also has Puerto Rican and Dominican Republican roots? The gorgeous actress can compete with everybody in any category. Like Sandra Bullock, Cameron Diaz, and Halle Berry, Michelle gets more beautiful with age.
I like how she keeps a low profile. Fortunately, Rodriguez isn’t high maintenance. But, she enjoys taking rejuvenating walks on the beach.

Is it too much to ask for more Michelle Rodriguez movies? She is clearly one of the best actresses. Furthermore, I believe her fan base is an untapped goldmine.
You know the movie industry has an agenda in place. Sometimes a star is burned-out because Hollywood doesn’t like divergence. Still if you’re attractive and talented enough, you’ll get some opportunities.
The good thing about this business is you can make it in some facet. You see Michelle Rodriguez made it because she worked hard, and didn’t give up despite struggling at first. A caterpillar must fight before she becomes a butterfly.
Like butterflies, Michelle Rodriguez is one of the world’s loveliest creatures. Doesn’t Rodriguez have the prettiest brown eyes on this green earth? Although I haven’t met her in person, I know she’s a sight for sore eyes. What is more, she hasn’t reached her peak potential yet.
Eva Mendes

Eva Mendes paid her dues in movies such as Exit Wounds, Training Day, and Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Have you seen the Women, Girl in Progress, or Hitch? Do you think Hollywood exploited Eva’s beauty?
Should Hollywood conceal the delectable actor’s sex appeal? Can we not pretend that sexism isn’t a major problem in the movie industry? And can we remember this issue isn’t exclusive to entertainment?  
People admire Eva Mendes because she found how to succeed and beat the odds. While I don’t endorse gambling, I would take a chance on Eva for the simple fact she’s one of a kind. If I were playing Poker, I would make Eva my good luck charm.
Life is a lot like Black Jack. When you’re 21 it’s amazing. When you’re busted, it’s the dealer’s fault.
Eva learned how to play with the hand dealt to her. She patiently waited, only to discover the dealer dealt a cold deck. Even though the cards were stacked against the actress, Mendes continues playing the game she loves.
I enjoy watching Michelle Rodriguez and Eva Mendes in movies. I’ve followed their careers and watched the celebrities mature into sturdy brands. If Michelle is made out of Iron, then Mendes is real steel.
I believe Mendes is a better supporting actress than Rodriguez. However, in my opinion Michelle is the best overall actor. What are your favorite Rodriguez and Mendes movies? In your opinion, who is the best?

Actors agents arts careers Celebrities Celebrity entertainers Guru Jay Hollywood Julliard Kerry Washington managers Movies Nicole Beharie performers Scandal Sleepy Hollow talent theatre TV shows

Is Nicole Beharie the Next Kerry Washington?

BY: GURU JAY

I watch Sleepy Hollow occasionally mainly because I’ve got crush on Nicole Beharie. If Nicole doesn’t renew her contract, then the show wouldn’t last another episode. Did you know Nicole Beharie went to Julliard?
She’s highly educated and accomplished in and out of Hollywood. That’s why I know she can be the next Kerry Washington. Beharie recently turned 30, and she’s getting sexier year after year.
Hopefully, the fine actress doesn’t let her ego enlarge. The best policy is humility. Careers are ruined because actors think they’re irreplaceable. Give Beharie the benefit of doubt since she isn’t boastful.
In the next 3 years I expect Nikki to start filming mega budget movies. Why can’t she star as the lead sometimes? You see show business is about making connections and networking. Have faith in Nicole because she has developed fruitful relationships.
Ironically, Scandal helped Kerry Washington’s career blossom. She’s received more opportunities since signing up for the show. Beharie is in a superior position to transition heavily into movies.

If I were managing Nicole, she’d be hotter than pancakes in Africa. Agents notoriously hold entertainers back. Often times promoters look out only for themselves at the expense of their clients.

Nicole Beharie is too talented to be on the B list. I believe she’s an A list actress with bad representation. For Nicole to advance, she needs to pick Kerry Washington’s brain. People purposely give bad advice because they want to sabotage you.
Look around and ask yourself do you really need that person in your entourage. Nicole Beharie doesn’t necessarily have to become the next Kerry Washington. She could choose a different direction.
Nicole can make People’s front cover. She can take number 1 on Maxim’s Hot 100. Actors must pay their dues. Is Nicole Beharie paying to play?
