Exclusive Interview with Felix Ryan

Felix Ryan is not the ordinary actor you expect to see on every glimpse that you catch of him when in action. His passion for the performing arts such as dancing and acting has opened to him the doors to a world of endless opportunities that he has not taken for granted. His eternal attachment to acting is now reflected on his character: Spike in the upcoming new season of The Power Rangers Samurai, which will premiere on 2011.

1.How young were you when you began acting? Also, Considering that you have successfully gone this far, did you understand back then how competitive this field really is?

Well I technically started acting when I was born because I feel that life is an act haha... I started to pursue acting and was brought into the entertainment industry when I was about 17 years young. I definitely was and still am aware of the competition in this industry. I started off doing a lot of extra work to get a better knowledge of how everything works, such as: camera work, communication, taking directions, and on lots of other important information needed before I could start auditioning for leading/supporting roles. One thing I learned is that every little aspect counts;like a cook book. You must take directions just like you do with a recipe. One must have potential, dedication, determination, and be committed/obligated in their role/work.

2.Can you tell us more about your role as "Spike" in The Power Rangers Samurai (2011)? 

 I can definitely relate to the character I play on Power Rangers. He has a very energetic, spontaneous, crazy personality; but also has a romantic and soft side, like myself. I am blessed to be in the position to be playing this character and to be part of this phenomenal franchise. From watching it as a little kid to performing for other kids is truly magical to me.

3. What inspired you to become such a big supporter of charity organizations?

I am a person who enjoys helping others. If one gives one will receive. I grew up around children and performing for many of them. One of my favorite charity organization is Save The Children. When I needed help I was fortunate enough to have that miraculous support. I do as much as I can to help others around me that need help.

4. I'm quite impressed with your performance on "The Dancing Magician". Did you work in collaboration with a choreographer to create your dancing pieces? Despite you are an actor, how impacting to you was to shoot the scene where you discover a young man who is about to commit a horrible act of terror? 
Hahahaha well thank you for finding me impressive haha... I put a whole lot of time into everything I did and continue to do. When I dance I like to feel the music, forget about everything else, and just give it my all. So in other words not a big fan of choreography, I like freestyle and just living through the music. As the years go by, more and more acts or terrorism are occurring within young men/women. There will always be terrorism, it's just extremely heartbreaking when young children, men, & women are involved. I have lost many young friends for unnecessary reasons. Just the thought has an enormous impact on me.

5. How was your experience as a dancer for Katy Perry's music video Hot N' Cold? How much time and practice did you and the rest of the dancing crew had to put into it? 

That music video was one of the first music videos I have worked on. It was an awesome experience working with Katy Perry. She has a great, fun personality. The crew had a few days of rehearsals with long hours. It was an awesome set to be on, especially with such an amazing director.

6. How do you visualize yourself in the future? Would you like to focus more into acting, or would you stil like like to execute both dancing and acting careers simultaneously? 

I definitely am going towards acting. I incorporate both dancing and magic into my acting when I can. When I get asked "Are you a dancer/magician?", my answer is always no... I am an actor who is fortunate enough to have those talents.

7. How does it feel to have your dream come true? 

My answer to that is that I have been living the dream way before I started pursuing my career as an actor. There should only be ONE "the dream" for everyone.. and that is to live happily with your family. That is the only dream I have, all other things are just goals of mine that I will work as hard as I can to pursue.

Exclusive interview with Tawny Heath

Tawny Heath, on the left.

Tawny Heath is indeed an intriguing, beautiful, and multi talented woman with a sweet personality! However, behind those curtains lies a normal girl that loves to play guitar, the football, her pets, spending time with her family, and cooking! She is an actress, a model, a singer, you name it; she has done it all to be who she is today. She has performed in many cities throughout Pennsylvania, New York, Florida, Massachussetts, Virginia, Connecticut, and also in many areas of Southern California. Her first television appearance was in The Power Rangers and she was also featured in the international magazine Supermodels Unlimited.

1. When did you begin singing and what do you think has made you who you are today? 

I started singing very young when I had a big interest in musical theatre.  I love anything to do with singing, dancing, and acting.  I just loved the arts growing up and I still do.  I think it is something you are born with when you love it as much as I do. I recorded my first demo and started writing my own songs when I was 18.

2.Tell us a little about Heath Street. When was it founded? 

I started writing and recording my own music when I was 18, but I grew up in a "music family"  My mom constantly had music on and introduced me to so many artist from when she was younger and I just absorbed it all and so did my brothers. My younger brother Sean plays many instruments and was the drum major in high school his senior year. When I wanted to learn to play the guitar he was definitely my go to guy.  We had so much fun working together and I always knew any music question I had I could ask him and he would know.  We started doing covers together and we are like best friends so we decided to work together on some songs.  We have an absolute blast and I feel really lucky that we get to work together so much.

 

3. What was your role when you appeared in the tv show "The Power Rangers"?

 I was pretty young when I filmed The Power Rangers.  I think just 8 years old, but I remember being really excited.  When I look back on it now, its just really funny and cute.  I remember everyone at my elementary school was so excited and we all watched it together when it aired. lol

4. How do you prepare before each singing performance?

 I always thought that I would like a lot of energy and a lot of excitement and a lot of people around me having fun before I performed, but from past experience I realized that when I have had my best shows is when I got to sit in absolute silence, everything very calm, and just take a lot of quiet time to my self and be in peace. (I always figured if it was too quiet and peaceful Id get sleepy and have no energy) but it's actually the exact opposite. 

5. What was it like modeling For JLO by Jennifer Lopez and UR-Fragance by Usher? 

A LOT of fun.  I love modeling!! and I got enough free UR Fragrance to practically  last me a life time!! lol  (I gave it away to friends and to my younger brother)

6. What are you currently working on right now?  Things have been a little more quiet for me on the music side of things, but thats because I have been focusing a lot on modeling.  I have some really cool photoshoots coming up that I am excited to tell people about.  No matter what I am working on I really enjoy it, and that is always what matters most.  As long as you are happy and doing what you love then you can have no complaints! :-)  Everyone be sure to check out my Twitter at www.twitter.com/tawnyheath  my blog at  www.tawnyheath.blogspot.com  and my myspace at www.myspace.com/heathstreet!
