He's one of the secondary actors on our show, big but not leading role. And he's new. He sat there for like 20 minutes practicing his "looks" in his little pink mirror. I took this picture and posted it up on our wechat group and everybody ribbed him about it all day.
August Schellenberg, a lovely man and Emmy-nominated actor whose headshots I was fortunate enough to get to take today.

Batraz Zaseev is a Russian stuntman, cinema and theater actor.
In the photo there is a scene from the play of the Che Theater “Mom in the East”.
Curious: the shooting date was March 22, 2020, Moscow is already quarantined, and all public events are closed. The play actors played for the "remote viewers" of the online broadcast indoors. But in order for the actors not to play in the void, there was a small number of spectators from relatives, friends, and theater friends. This is the case when art requires reasonable sacrifices and risks.
And one more thing: this is not just a performance for broadcasting, a round date has been scheduled for that day and the performance should be played the last time. Conceived it was before the pandemic. And how it will be in the end ... we'll see.
Батраз Засеев - каскадёр, актер театра и кино.
На фото сцена из спектакля Театра Чё «Мама на Востоке».
Из любопытного: дата съемки 22 марта 2020 года, в Москве уже карантин, и все массовые мероприятия закрыты. Спектакль актеры играли для «удаленных зрителей» онлайн-трансляции в закрытом помещении. Но что бы актерам не играть в пустоту было небольшое количество зрителей из близких, знакомых, и друзей театра. Тот самый случай, когда искусство требует разумных жертв и рисков.
И еще: это не просто спектакль для трансляции, в этот день было намечена круглая дата и спектакль должен быть отыгран последний раз. Задумано это было до пандемии. А как это будет в итоге... посмотрим.

Distinguished American actor Robert Ryan (1909-1973) was known for his portrayals of hardened cops and ruthless villains. In 1948, he was nominated for an Oscar for his supporting role in Crossfire (1947). He achieved more fame with roles in Bad Day at Black Rock (1955), The Dirty Dozen (1967) and The Wild Bunch (1969).
Robert Bushnell Ryan was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1909. He was the first child of Mabel Arbutus (née Bushnell), a secretary, and Timothy Aloysius Ryan, who was from a wealthy family who owned a real estate firm. Ryan's first successes came at Dartmouth College, where he held the school's heavyweight boxing title for all four years of his attendance, along with lettering in football and track. After graduating in 1932, he worked in various odd jobs: as a stoker on a ship that travelled to Africa and as a roustabout on a ranch in Montana. He returned home in 1936 when his father died, and after a brief stint modelling clothes for a department store, he decided to become an actor. In 1937 Ryan joined a little theatre group in Chicago. The following year he enrolled in the Max Reinhardt Workshop in Hollywood. His role in the 1939 play 'Too Many Husbands' brought an offer from Paramount. Although he had done a screen test for them in 1938 and been turned down as "not the right type", the studio offered him a $ 75-a-week contract. He made his debut as a boxer in Golden Gloves (Edward Dmytryk, 1940), Throughout the 1940s, he appeared on stage or in supporting roles in films on several occasions. In 1943, he signed a contract with RKO and was fourth-billed in Behind the Rising Sun (Edward Dmytryk, 1943), which was a huge box-office success. RKO promoted him to star status in Tender Comrade (Edward Dmytryk, 1943), where he was Ginger Rogers' leading man. It was another big hit. In 1944, he joined the United States Marine Corps and was active as a drill instructor at Camp Pendleton, in Southern California. There, he befriended writer/director Richard Brooks. After his discharge from the Marine Corps, RKO immediately cast Ryan in the Randolph Scott Western, Trail Street (Ray Enright, 1947), which was very popular. However, his next film, The Woman on the Beach (Jean Renoir, 1947) with Joan Bennett, lost money. Ryan's big film breakthrough came with his role in Edward Dmytryk's superb Film Noir Crossfire (1947), based on the novel by Richard Brooks. For his portrayal of the anti-Semitic bully and murderer Montgomery, Ryan was nominated for an Oscar in the category of Best Supporting Actor in 1948. Ryan went on to become one of Hollywood's most versatile actors, able to play both the sympathetic leading man and the film villain. Some of Ryan's portrayals also blurred the lines between good and evil, which is probably why he was often cast in Film Noirs. In his personal favourite, The Set-Up (Robert Wise, 1949) he played a washed-up boxer who has to pay dearly for his last success in the ring,
For RKO, Robert Ryan starred in the Film Noir On Dangerous Ground (Nicholas Ray, 1951) in which he played a hostile and jaded cop opposite Gloria Grahame. Ryan went to MGM where he played a villain in Anthony Mann's Western The Naked Spur (1953), starring James Stewart. The picture was very popular. Other successes were the suspense film Bad Day at Black Rock (John Sturges, 1955) in which he played the head villain opposite intrepid investigator Spencer Tracy and the grimy, gangster film Odds Against Tomorrow (Robert Wise, 1959) starring Harry Belafonte. In the summer of 1960, Ryan starred opposite Katharine Hepburn at the American Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford, Connecticut, playing Antony to Hepburn's Cleopatra. Ryan remained in high demand throughout the 1960s and was part of some big productions that could count on an all-star cast. For instance, Ryan starred in the biblical epic King of Kings (Nicholas Ray, 1961), the all-star war film The Longest Day (Ken Annakin, Andrew Marton, Bernhard Wicki, Darryl F. Zanuck, 1962), the war adventure The Dirty Dozen (Robert Aldrich, 1967) and the violent Western The Wild Bunch (Sam Peckinpah, 1969). On the political front, Ryan also made himself heard on several occasions. He was a liberal Democrat and a great defender of civil rights. In the McCarthy era, he joined the short-lived Committee for the First Amendment and protested against the persecution of the Hollywood Ten. Ryan's later political activities included efforts to fight racial discrimination. He served in the cultural division of the Committee to Defend Martin Luther King Jr., and helped organise the short-lived Artists Help All Blacks, with Bill Cosby, Robert Culp, and Sidney Poitier. In 1972, Ryan's wife, former actress Jessica Cadwalader died of cancer. The two had been married to each other since 1939. Robert Ryan, a heavy smoker, died of lung cancer a year later at the age of 63. He left behind two sons and a daughter. His final film role was as the terminally-ill political activist Larry Slade in the drama The Iceman Cometh (John Frankenheimer, 1973), based on the play by Eugene O'Neill. For his performance, he was posthumously honoured with several awards including the National Board of Review Award.
