James Howson to be first black actor to play Heathcliff in film
Unknown actor from Leeds to play brooding lead in a new adaptation of Wuthering Heights directed by Andrea Arnold
Emily Brontë described him as a "dark-skinned gypsy in aspect and a little lascar" in her classic 1847 novel. Now Heathcliff is to be portrayed by a black actor for the first time in a film adaptation of Wuthering Heights after Andrea Arnold cast unknown James Howson in the role for her forthcoming remake.
Leeds-based Howson will follow in the footsteps of Laurence Olivier, Ralph Fiennes and Timothy Dalton, who played the role in the 1939, 1970 and 1992 versions respectively. He confirmed his appointment to a reporter from the Daily Mail who travelled to North Yorkshire, where filming was recently completed.
The casting is in line with Brontë's conception of the character – "lascar" is a 19th-century term for sailors from India. Arnold reportedly sought out actors from the Romany community for the role but was unable to find an appropriate candidate. Producers also held open auditions and even walked the streets of Leeds looking for their Heathcliff. In the novel, the character is found abandoned as a baby at the slave port of Liverpool by Mr Earnshaw, who adopts him, so his ethnicity is uncertain.
Howson will star opposite Skins actor Kaya Scodelario, 18, who plays Effy in the Channel 4 TV series, as Cathy. Arnold, the Oscar-winning director of Fish Tank, is reportedly aiming for a rawer take on Brontë's tale of doomed teenage lovers, with actors the same age as the roles they are playing.
Key scenes were reportedly filmed at Moor Close, a desolate farmhouse without electricity or running water in the North Yorkshire moors, while nearby Cotescue Park will double for Brontë's Thrushcross Grange, home of the wealthy Linton family.
British talent triumphed at this year’s International Emmy Awards, with programmes and actors from the UK walking away with six of the awards.
BBC1’s The Street, made by ITV Studios, was named best drama series, while Bob Hoskins, who played Paddy Gargan in the series, was awarded the prize for best actor.
Meanwhile, Helena Bonham Carter was given the award for best actress for her performance as Enid Blyton in BBC4’s Enid, and Shaun the Sheep, made by Aardman Animations, was named best programme for children.
Small Island, based on Andrea Levy’s novel and shown on the BBC, won in the best TV mini-series category and Simon Cowell was presented with the International Emmy Founders Award in recognition of his contribution to television.
The awards, held last night in New York, honour excellence in programmes made outside of the US.

who believe they will accomplish them" ~Warren G
In the acting industry it's hard to achieve your goals if you don't start from a position of knowing that you will accomplish whatever it is you set out to do.
Be it an Audition, a Casting, a successful script read through, editing that short Movie or finishing that brilliant script 'that you never have time to do'.
Have a vision. See the end result in your mind. Accomplish it.
Love to hear your comments.

Learning your Script / Lines
You'll find it much easier to absorb your lines and character if you walk when you're doing it.
This simple act tends to get both aspects into your body and makes your retention and comprehension more acute.
Working this way helps get that character into your body right from the beginning and will give you a jump up on the process.
