Training is very important for any actor taking on a challenging role, especially the lead role in an upcoming television series like Detective Rose Thorne. #Powerjournalist Markos Papadatos has the scoop.
Sammy Morningstar, the star of the crime thriller series, has begun that training in a big way. There are many ways that an actor can bring a character to life on screen: through their words and emotions, or physically. For a character like Rose Thorne—a Savannah, Georgia Detective— physical and mental strength is very important. What better training method is there to not only train your body and also your mind, but the martial arts, specifically Jujitsu.
Sammy has started her journey at the Empowered Martial Arts Academy (jgmaa.com). Her trainers, Rick and Mason Christie, and their team at Empowered have been doing a fantastic job teaching Sammy an arrangement of techniques to help her bring Rose Thorne to life in a very
real way.
The martial arts can help an actor in many ways outside of just physical training. Relaxation, breathing, efficiently, and flexibility in movement, and improved balance are all ways that an actor can make their performances stand out and become real for the viewer through martial arts.
Detective Rose Thorne begins shooting in October in Savannah, Georgia.
