FOR THE HELL OF IT VOL. 7 NO. 5 ON CLASSES… AND ASSORTED VERITIES AND BALDERDASH BY JOHNNY HELLER So you want to be/are/have asserted that you are — an actor. Something you’ve always wanted to be. A life-long dream. Yet you wonder about the value of classes. Should you take them? What sort? You’re already pretty damn good – I mean, how much better can you be?
