Through Hallie's coaching, Courtney booked the lead role of "Bridgette"
in the film Premonition, playing the oldest daughter of Sandra Bullock's character. The film premieres in March 2007. Courtney also lent her voice talents to the recent remake of Charlotte's Web. Other current projects include Fur, starring Nicole Kidman, about the life of photographer Diane Arbus; and the TV sitcoms Still Standing and Cuts.
Congratulations to Seth Adkins, who just completed starring roles in two films, Pirate Camp (as "Cooper") and Privileged (as "Nick Webber"). Seth has been very busy over the last several years with appearances in CBS television's NCIS, the remake of The Bad News Bears, and NBC's The West Wing.
Actors who want to work know when to ask for help. Classes are great yet finding the right coach is essential. Prior to my network test for Disney Channel's Cory in the House, I went to Hallie Todd to help me shape my audition. Hallie's enthusiastic, interactive approach helped define area's in my performance that previously lacked definition. Together, we shaped a specific, three-dimensional character that could bend in any direction a great director would want to take it. Whether broad or subtle, Hallie helped me keep the essence of my performance grounded in truth. I guess you can say, thanks to Hallie, I eventually won the election!
Thank you, Hallie. The view from the Oval Office is fantastic!
Sincerely,
John D'Aquino
"President Martinez"
The President of the United States
