Nashville earned its nickname “Music City” long before
colored television, at a time when talkies were still all the rage. Its reputation as Music City has been
consistently proven for over 200 years according to the Nashville Convention
and Visitors Bureau, but now Nashville is making a name for itself through
films, earning a spot in the top ten Film Festivals in the United States,
according to Brooks Institute.
Working with aspiring actors in the region, the Church of
Scientology Celebrity Centre is putting on a seminar by actor Jim Meskimen who
can currently be seen on the hit TV show Impress Me on Pop TV.
“A Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre is a special
place,” says Rev. Brian Fesler, Pastor of the Nashville Church of Scientology,
“It’s our mission to uplift artists because they will bring about change in
society. Whether it is a good change or a bad change rests entirely upon their
spiritual values or lack thereof.”
On June 11th, Meskimen will present “How to Achieve
Success in the Arts,” at 7pm. According
to IMDB, Meskimen is an accomplished actor, improviser and voice artist whose
work is well-known to TV and film audiences. He appeared on the British series
Whose Line Is It Anyway? several times, and was a recurring character on The
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air for two seasons. He has worked with director Ron Howard
on five of his films, including The Paper, Apollo 13, Edtv, How the Grinch
Stole Christmas and Frost/Nixon.
A professional artist, Meskimen exhibits and sells his
realist oil paintings. As a designer/cartoonist, he created dozens of
characters, weapons and vehicles for the original "Thundercats"
animated series. He continues to dazzle audiences with his improvisational
skills and appears regularly on L.A. stages. His work in stand-up comedy can be
seen at jimpressions.net.
