ACTIN’ METHODOLOGY

Arkatov failed to include probably the finest acting school of all, namely the Loft Studio on La Brea Avenue.

Founded by William Traylor and his late wife, actress Peggy Feury, the Loft has been home to almost the entire crop of the new successful Hollywood acting generation, including John Stockwell, Sean Penn, Hart Bochner, Anjelica Huston, Eric Stoltz, Laura Dern, Meg Tilly and Alexander Godunov among so many others.

Under the continuing guidance of actor-teacher Traylor, the Loft continues to be the haven for future working actors. I wish that Arkatov had included Traylor’s views on the schooling of this new acting generation.
