C22-11. Deborah Driggs, "Aging Gracefully is a Full Time Job"
C22-11. Deborah Driggs, “Aging Gracefully is a Full Time Job”
It is hard to believe I started in this business in 1983. From a Professional cheerleader for the LA Express that lead me into the entertainment world. I was ambitious and aspiring to work in a very glamorous business. I am now 57 and back working in the business I loved so much with a different appreciation. The appreciation that this is “Show Business” and as a entrepreneur I now have that…

Fantasy Friday - Dare to Dream
Yesterday I was not exactly, well, unobsessed with thoughts of Sam in other roles. Since we have no way of projecting what opportunities are coming down the pike, I’m going to plant myself squarely in the past with this post.
Now, let me preface this by saying that I don’t actually hold much stock in reboots (except for my childhood favourite, The Planet of the Apes franchise.) But, were I able, I would make an exception to see Sam play any of these fascinating, nuanced, conflicted characters:
Ed Lealand - Shining Through
Ed’s stoic demeanour and economy of words are an enticing lead up to one of the most sweeping scenes of epic drama I’ve ever enjoyed. People who don’t like this film are usually just not Melanie Griffith fans. Sam would absolutely kick ass in this role. For the Linda Voss, I would cast Margo Robbie.
Charles Driggs - Something Wild
Uncomfortable, awkward Sam is something we almost never see. (When he’s in character, anyway. 😉) I would relish this offbeat opportunity, especially if Lili Collins played Lulu.
Frank Doel - 84 Charing Cross Road
This role would fit Sam like a comfy slipper. The epistolary format is charming. How do you have a poignant love story with no kiss? For the part of Helene Hanff it could be no other than Rachel Brosnahan.
Gary Simmons - Betrayed
I would be so excited to see what he could do with this multifaceted set of circumstances. Simplicity is often anything but. I would cast Anne Hathaway in the Deborah Winger role. Gak! I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
John Keating - Dead Poet’s Society
I would have Sam play this role as a British expat. Keating is all about warmth, belonging and Love as a concept of its own. There are many layers to this emotional onion. “Oh Captain, my Captain.”
Martin Vail - Primal Fear
What we have here is a jaded man who has seen it all. Or so he thinks. What does it feel like to surprise a cynic? For me, Reese Witherspoon would make a great Janet. (And I would build up her role more in my version).
Wardaddy - Fury
Just because he would completely embody this character - and it would be a blast! (No pun intended).
Newton Davis - Housesitter
Talk about an easy buck and great (but not at all on the nose) casting for Sam. Rebel Wison as Gwen would be perfect. We could all have used my version of this laugh fest during lockdowns. How good do you think Sam’s TooRaLooRaLooRa is?
Henry Young - Murder in the First
With the right director this would be an Oscar winning endeavour for Sam. This is gritty as hell. The kind of story that stays with you for a long time.
Denys Finch Hatton - Out of Africa
If I win the lotto, this will become my passion project. Without a doubt I would cast Saoirse Ronan as the indomitable Karen Blixen against Sam’s confident, free-thinking Denys.
