Acting for Film Alumni
“It was an amazing experience, to be part of a western of this magnitude. I played cowboys and Indians all my life. To dress as a cowboy and ride horses was a dream come true.”
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo,
New York Film Academy Acting for Film alumnus
“The Magni cent Seven,” “Murder on the Orient Express”
“I was in the rst ever 1-Year acting class at the New York Film Academy in 2003 and I am so thankful for the experience.”
Camilla Luddington,
New York Film Academy Acting for Film alumna, Dr. Jo Wilson from “Grey’s Anatomy”
“The most challenging thing was certainly to get inside the head of this individual. Knowing his background of having a family, wife, little kid, a brother and friends, and still be able to commit such a horrible act is unthinkable. But I committed myself 100% to the character and really dove into his state of mind, by doing all the research that I could do on the web, watching horrible Jihadi videos that he used
to watch, and also having to train with his boxing coach John Allen, who gave me incredible insight to his personal life and his characteristics. But, at the end of the day, what really drove me to portray this character was the absolute hate, disgust and anger that I had for this horrible individual.”
