What Our Actors Say

Austin Butler (Elvis, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood)
(On the most meaningful moment in his career development) “The day I met Howard Fine… it’s completely true, because I didn’t have a grasp of craft before we met and so I was shooting in the dark and it was inconsistent. That was enormously meaningful. I am so grateful for Howard”
-

Carla Gugino (The Haunting of Hill House, Gerald’s Game)
“I have worked with Howard for many years and since the first time, I have found his insights to be spot on, not exclusively on acting, but on something much more important to an actor, the inner workings of human beings. Often teachers want to own an actor’s process. Howard shines a light on yours…”

Chris Pine (Don’t Worry Darling, Star Trek, Wonder Woman)
“When I first met Howard he told me his job was to make the actor a self-sufficient artist. His great skill is the joy he takes in watching you discover, with the tools he provides, the essence of a character. He loves actors, he loves the process, and he is all about the work.”

Andréa Solonge (Time Bandits, Prosper, Class of ‘07)
“My training at Howard Fine was incredibly transformative. It gave me a solid foundation and structure to be able to approach every scene and character that I’ve worked on. The school and its teachers cultivate a perpetual curiosity about the work whilst developing a strong set of skills and technique in its actors.”

Samuel Johnson (Molly, Rush, The Secret Life of Us)
“I just wanted to use this opportunity to say that I really don't believe that any of this could have happened without the Howard Fine technique. Without the guidance, and support that I received from Howard's Australian faculty.”
