thespian

That 1993 Oscar-nominated performance put the Irish thespian on the A-list.

The only wannabe thespian that day was Noem, who channeled her inner Evita when claiming that the deployment of nearly 5,000 National Guard troops and Marines to clamp down on L.A. activists trying to stop la migra from conducting immigration raids was necessary “to liberate this city from the socialist and burdensome leadership” of Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A.

Yes — a thespian, all the way.

Despite his accomplishments, though, Fishburne still thinks of himself as a young thespian hoping to get his first break.

Undeterred by this vote of no confidence, both actors decamped to New York where they shared a flat with another aspiring thespian, Robert Duvall.
