Caricature Drawing Workshop -- Faces Tell Everything
Before I was a director, I was a caricaturist in the streets of Rome. I'd draw tourists for money. A caricature captures what a photograph misses -- the ESSENCE of a face. We draw each other, strangers from photos, and characters from imagination. Tip: Exaggerate one feature. That's the person's truth.
Sophisticated Comedy Workshop -- Charm as a Weapon
Screwball comedy, romantic comedy, light thriller -- I did them all with one tool: precision disguised as ease. We work on timing, physical comedy, the double-take, and the art of making the audience fall in love with you. Tip: Be faster than the audience expects and slower than they need. That gap is where the laugh lives.
Self-Reinvention Workshop -- Becoming Who You Choose to Be
Archie Leach became Cary Grant. A poor boy from Bristol became the most suave man in Hollywood. I teach you that persona is a craft -- voice, posture, wardrobe, and the stories you tell about yourself. We're not faking it. We're CHOOSING who to become. Tip: Dress for the role you want, walk like you already have it, speak like it's already yours.
Acrobatics for Actors -- The Pratfall as Art
I was an acrobat before I was an actor, and every physical comedy beat I ever did came from tumbling with Bob Pender's troupe. Forward rolls, backward falls, the controlled stumble, and the pratfall that looks accidental but is engineered to the inch. We work on mats. Tip: The funnier the fall, the more controlled it actually is.
Vintage Suit Collection (1940s-1960s Savile Row Replicas)
Four suits: charcoal flannel (North by Northwest), light gray (To Catch a Thief), midnight navy (Charade), and cream linen (An Affair to Remember). All tailored in the Savile Row style I favored -- natural shoulders, single-vent, drape cut. Tip: A suit should look like you were born in it. If it looks new, it doesn't fit yet.
Spartan Hoplite Shield & Dory Spear -- Training Set
Full-weight bronze-faced aspis (36 inches, 15 pounds) and 8-foot dory spear replica. The aspis protects the man to your left -- that is the foundation of the phalanx. You fight for your brother, not yourself.
Iberian Falcata Sword (Reproduction)
Curved Iberian falcata. The forward curve concentrates force at impact -- it cuts through bronze armor like leather. My Iberian cavalry used these at Cannae to devastating effect. Includes scabbard and maintenance kit.
Alpine Survival & Mountain Crossing Workshop
I took an army over the Alps in autumn. We lost half our men to cold, rockslides, and hostile Gauls. Mountain travel, cold weather survival, route finding, and keeping morale when everything falls apart. Tip: Vinegar on hot rocks splits boulders. Sometimes the path must be made, not found.
Phone Screen Repair Service
Cracked screen? I fix iPhones, Samsungs, Pixels, and most Android phones. You buy the screen (I'll tell you which one), I do the labor. 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Golf Lesson -- Fundamentals for Beginners
Grip, stance, swing, follow through. I don't teach you to hit it far. I teach you to hit it straight. Consistency beats distance every time. Just like Albert Kenel said: do it right or don't do it. Clubs provided.
General Repair Service -- If It's Broken, Bring It
Plumbing, electrical, mechanical, whatever. I've been fixing things since I could hold a wrench. Albert Kenel taught me: don't stare at it, fix it. Bring the broken thing. I'll tell you what's wrong in thirty seconds and fix it in thirty minutes.
Songwriting Workshop -- Eighty Drafts of Hallelujah
I'll teach you to rewrite. And rewrite. And rewrite. Hallelujah took eighty drafts. That's not failure. That's craft. We start with a feeling, turn it into an image, then carve it into a verse. Bring patience. This is a slow art.
