 As an Award winng Actor, which actors or actresses have been the  most notable to work with in your film roles? And for what reasons?  David Daze,  Sandra Ghost,  Alex Chill,  Willis E.  Smith.  Their good friends and GREAT Actors! 

As an Award winning Actor Mr. Hogan, can you give any advice to the struggling actors out there trying to make their mark in the entertainment bussiness?  How should they pursue their choices in picking roles and working with film projects ? working with a good Director? How should they prepare themselves when they arrive on set? When approached by an unknown Director what advice can you give them before accepting a role offered to them?  Take roles your offered and make the best of them, don't be to picky about roles and if you've been fortunate enough to work with a good established Director, respect him be positive and do what "THE DIRECTOR SAYS" and not anyone else on set, unless the Director says to.  Always be and stay positive when filmming it helps the whole production flow better. If an unknown Director approaches you,.....always ask for his previous work history, because there are a lot of fakes and wannbees out there who will end up wasting your valuable career time.  They are easy to spot on set because they are the ones bragging about how great they are, and how great their work is, but can't show you any finished work to back it up. They are the guys working the flea markets or selling short films from the trunk of their cars, These guys will always show up on production sets........just learn to ignore them, or they will end up wasting your time. Belive me a good solid established Director can always back up his work with a feature film or two and will gladly show his work off. 

 As an Award winning Actor where do you see yourself and career ten years from now in the industry? And as your success grows will you give back to the community? And just for a journalistic curve ball, whats your thoughts on the war in Iraq and the soldiers fighting it? Well, I see myself doing bigger productions,  and of course I will give back to the community that supported me and on the war , I don't like it , but if it keeps our freedom it's o.k. with me.
