   This well known personality is actress Adrienne Wilkinson whose name is well known throughout Hollywood and the television industry. Adrienne, what made you choose acting as your career and what training did you undertake to achieve such a resounding success ?

AW-  I had grown up taking dance and being on stage, but always thought of it as a hobby.  It wasn’t until I was a senior in high school that I was truly introduced to acting, and I fell instantly in love with it and decided to pursue it as a profession.   I was lucky enough to also meet some working industry professionals at that time, and was given advice and direction that helped lead me to this career path.    I think I knew what I wanted and had utter determination to make it happen.   (more…)

TAEM- The Arts and Entertainment Magazine is always searching for new talent to reveal to our readers. A good portion of our readership consists of Students of the Arts who follow our publication in hopes of better learning about their chosen profession.

One new actor that we would like to introduce is Yuriy Turchyn who originally hailed from Ukraine. Yuriy, tell our readers about your life before coming to our country, and the how you adjusted to your new surroundings.

YT- It was great. Most of my days were enjoyed outside with my friends playing soccer, riding bikes, hide and seek (my favorite), or making campfires (also my favorite). Those were the good ol’ days. When I first moved here, I was really excited to start my new life. Though I studied English back home, it was barely enough to help me get through a conversation. Fortunately I was able to absorb most of the language within my first year. From that point on it was all smooth sailing. (more…)

E J De La Pena

TAEM- The Arts and Entertainment Magazine loves bringing new faces before our readership for their enjoyment. We recently were introduced to an astounding young actor who has over twenty credits to his name stemming back to the early 1990’s. Actor E.J. De La Pena has been in a number of television shows, movies, and television series wracking up some amazing credits towards his stardom. E.J., you first appeared in the well known television series, ER, in 1994. Please tell our readers the excitement that you felt to be in such a well known show.

E.J.- Well First off, thanks for that awesome intro! Actually, at that time, I’d been in the business a few years already working on commercials, student films, and several other things that aren’t listed on my IMDB – including one film with soon to be E.R. star Anthony Edwards. Being so young (I was 6 at the time I shot E.R.) I really didn’t know I was supposed to be excited. It had already become a part of my life. I did have a lot of fun throwing up all over Noah Wiley in that episode (the first Christmas Episode). And while waiting on set I would play hackey-sack with the cast – including George Clooney. This is before E.R. had become as huge as it was and launched him into stardom. What I can say is that it was a lot of fun and a great way to grow up. (more…)
