Hollywood Acting Teacher Howard Fine to Lead Master Class at RIC
Tuesday, December 16, 2014
Hollywood acting teacher Howard Fine will return to Rhode Island College (RIC) to teach a Master Class for a select group of students, alumni and community members on December 20 and 22.
The RIC alumnus has coached Oscar winners (Jennifer Connelly and Jared Leto) and nominees (Brad Pitt, Michelle Williams, Salma Hayek, Bradley Cooper and Will Smith) as well as Golden Globe nominees (Simon Baker, Rosanna Arquette, Brooke Shields and Mark Harmon) and Emmy award winners (Kim Delaney, Sela Ward and Michael Chiklis).
“Every role that an actor is going to play already exists inside him or her,” says Fine. “Getting actors to make the most personal connection to a part is the core of the teaching/coaching process. Rhode Island College gave me a first-rate education and numerous opportunities to work on my craft. The faculty members were supportive and knowledgeable and willing to mentor young talent. I feel a great deal of gratitude to the college for all that it did to nurture me and am delighted to give something back.”
