Acting well requires that you draw upon real life experience.  This is why it is difficult for children to act out tragic scenes that that have never known.  Our life is the best teacher when it comes to acting authentically.  When life and art come together it is a beautiful thing.  Everyone goes to the theatre to be entertained and be taken away from their boring lives.  If the actors can connect on a personal level it is magic on a grand scale.  Just imagine toe joy of the happy ending when the actors tell the story right.  Art Falcone is that kind of actor. Just give him a chance and you wont be disappointed.
