Paul Mann

Paul Mann (December 2, 1913 - September 24, 1985) was a Canadian film and theater actor, as well as founder of the Paul Mann Actor's Workshop. He is the brother of Larry D. Mann.

Biography

Mann was influential in developing the concept of Method acting in America. While many other Method advocates (including Lee Strasberg) shared their knowledge at the prestigious Actors Studio, Mann taught his own classes at his Actor's Workshop, founded in 1953. Along with Lloyd Richards (a fellow Toronto native and chief assistant director of the school), Mann also managed to create a comfortable atmosphere for actors of all races. Alumni of his school include Ruby Dee, Ossie Davis, Sidney Poitier,Al Lewis and Vic Morrow.

Mann's own acting career was based primarily in theatre, beginning when he was sixteen. His onscreen appearances were limited to an episode of the 1950s television serial Danger and two feature film roles. The first was that of merchant Aleko Sinnikoglou in America, America (1963) (directed by his friend Elia Kazan) and the last was the village butcher Lazar Wolf in the screen adaptation of Fiddler on the Roof (1971). He received Best Supporting Actor Golden Globe nominations for both roles.

Famous quotes by Paul Mann:

"Upon completion, the developer will proceed to renovate the building's interior and exterior."
"The demand for professional pet care services is at an all-time high -- especially those that allow pets to maintain their routine while receiving the attention they need. With many pet owners frustrated by the lack of professional and reliable caregivers, or reluctant to kennel their pets due to health and other concerns, our safe, convenient, and nurturing care provides peace of mind."
"Wilmering had to do a study for the state. As long as he gets approval, it's all right with the city. We don't have any city ordinances about that."
"It's been an exhausting series of events to get to this point."
"They recently receive approval to proceed."
"It's been an unsafe scenario. To have the building in its current state is an embarrassment to the community, contrary to economic development of our downtown."
"Do you want to drive a lot of us out of here? If I think that retirement system is going, then I'm out the door. You'd better tell us whether it's going to be around next year."
"It's an exciting time, because everything is coming to fruition."
"It's an exciting time, and this will only be a catalyst for more and exciting things."
"Not till recently I've got re-interest in that. It looks like Baskin-Robbins is looking to resurrect there. It's not for sure. It's a possibility, but it's a slim chance it could come back."

Blue Willow Moan

by: Harry Belafonte

Willow, willow with your head hung down
Are you weeping for me this morning
Don't you know that my woman has left this old town
And the blues they done come and tore me down
Steamboat calling from the waterline
No use calling to me this morning
Don't you know that my sorrows
Got me chained to the ground
And the blues they done come and tore me down
Whistle, whistle on that lonesome train
Are you moaning for me this morning
Tell me why in the day time
Do you make that midnight sound
And bring those blues that just come and tear me down
Dark cloud rolling in the summer sky
Is your cold rain for me this morning
Why don't you let that old sun shine
Spread a smile all around
An chase those blues that just come and tear me down
