What goes through an actor's mind, during a performance? This is the type of question James Lipton asks his guests on Inside the Actor's Studio. I had a chance to sit down with one of the great background actors of our time.
You might remember his background dancing on the White Hot Top 5 and Target Women. Last night on the Rotten Tomatoes Show, he was featured in his most prominent role to date.
Current_Comedy This video was really funny. Brett and Ellen had stellar performances. You were just in the background. What would you say to critics who don't believe that you influenced the quality of this piece?
JoshuaHeller I'd have to agree with them. I was checking out my new smartphone the whole time.
CC but there were certainly moments when you emoted.
JH Oh that's true. For example Brett asked the camera "Does anybody know what jump back means?" It was so easy for me to react the way I did, because I had no idea what it meant.
CC You seemed really excited when the final verdict came through and Ferris Bueller was declared cool. Was that acting or reacting?
JH Again I was reacting earnestly. Maybe I got a teency bit more excited, because the cameras were rolling.
CC What would you say to young people looking to break into the field?
JH I'd say get a job in the media industry. Sit at your desk, and if someone asks if you want to be an extra. Say yes.What goes through an actor's mind, during a performance? This is the type of... more

It's time for us to take another look at one of our host's top video stories from Current TV. In case you've missed it, our hosts have been digging deep into the Current vaults to assemble their top favorites lists, and they've been counting their lists down on Current TV. So far, we've revisited infoMania White Hot Top 5 master Sergio Cilli's top 16, and The Rotten Tomatoes Show co-host Ellen Fox's top 14 on the blog, so give those a look if you missed them.
This time around, we're pulling faves from Douglas Caballero -- many of you recall Douglas from his Current Fix days, but lately he's been chopping it up in the evenings on a show called Current Exposed. IF you have done so already, check out some of the cool stuff they've been up to (below the list), follow Douglas and Current Exposed on Twitter, and most importantly, tune into Current Exposed weeknights at 8 / 7 C.
The best part, you can browse Douglas' list on the blog, or you could tune into Current TV today at 6pm E / 3pm P and hear all about his list straight from Douglas himself. If you can't make it today, don't fret! Douglas' countdown will re-air on Tuesday 9/22 at 1pm E / 4pm P, so plan a sick day or learn how to program that DVR.
Douglas Caballero brings you The Flaming Lips Santa Claus from Chicago!
So, without further ado, here's Douglas' faves for your perusal. Tell us what you think!

Current News
Holy cow. If you haven't been reading Andrew Fitzgerald's latest posts over on the Current News blog, you've been missing out. Don't panic, we'll get you caught up.
First up is a post that includes raw footage of Afghan insurgents being blown up by their own IED. The footage is shot from overhead from the perspective of airborne Apache helicopters, and well...
Here's a snippet:
US military personnel watch as Afghan insurgents set up a deadly IED and then accidentally trigger it themselves. I think this video is pretty rare: I imagine not many insurgents are caught on camera setting up their IEDs.
Check out the full video on the Current News blog and see for yourself.
To top things off, Andrew hit the ground running today with two new posts: The first regards Muntazer al-Zaidi, the Iraqi reporter made famous for throwing his shoes at President George W. Bush, and the implications of his reception post-release. Next up Andrew revisits the Kibera slums, which are now beginning to be dismantled in Kenya. Several years ago, Vanguard's Christof Putzel produced a peice on the Kibera slums, take a look:
Vanguard's Christof Putzel takes a look at the Kibera slum
In his post Andrew brings us updates on the present state of things in the Kibera slums outside of Nairobi. Take a look.
Current Movies
As is the style of John Lichman's Current Movies blog dispatches, here is a listicle of important posts you may have missed out on:
The New York Film Festival is starting up, and Current Movies is all over it. I suspect covering the fest may have been an elaborate ploy on Lichman's part, who may be secretly missing NYC. However, he's promised that we'll be premiering trailers, interviews, and magical unicorns over on Current Movies and our New York Film Festival group. Keep an eye out for more, I'm holding him to it.
John caught Stingray Sam at CineVegas this year, and he hasn't stopped talking about it. Good news for you, both his review and film's episodes are available via the tubes. Take a peek.
Toronto A to F, Weinstein's Super Serious Bet, and Harry Potter's Park. All part of Wednesday's Important News.
Speaking of festivals, are there too many out there? Read and decide for yourself?
Current Music
Over on the Current Music blog, Shana Naomi Krochmal unleashes word of two new punk rock docs. Check out the details, and peruse a list of classic punk rock doc faves culled from the Current Music community!
From the "Get this now" files, Peter Grumbine has not 1, but 2 offerings this week:
Os Mutantes' "Haih or Amortecedor" is their first album in 35 years. Here's some of what Peter had to say:
If you don’t know Mutantes, it would be easy to say something like they’re the Brazilian Beatles or the Brazilian version of the guys from Buena Vista Social Club, but they’re not; they’re Os Mutantes.
The Mutantes were a big part of the Tropicalia movement in Brazil during the ’60s. Imagine what you know about the psychedelic ’60s in America and the UK, and then combine that with Carnival, and you can basically suss up the sound of that movement. Put simply, it’s fucking wild.
Read more here.
As a "Get this too" add-on, Peter recommends Rodrigo y Gabriela. Here's what he had to say:
In case you don’t know the story, years ago, Rodrigo y Gabriela were in some badass metal bands in Mexico, but they grew tired of the limited scene and potential there. A lady from Mexico who had moved to Ireland was back in Mexico and ran into them. After talking about their situation, she invited them to come stay with her in Ireland, a country where artists were treated better. Ah fate, at last!

Current Tech
Ever since Sarah Lane took Final Cut Pro classes, she's been cutting together some awesome tech videos and posting them on the Current Tech blog. Here's a taste of flickr's new iPhone app, plus a list of some of the others she's cooked up:
Flickr's iPhone App... Finally!

Current Green
Over on the Current Green blog, Leah Lamb tackled the green contraception debate (who knew?) while fantasizing about getting a greener car. Here's a snippet of what she learned:
I recently learned while checking out an article reporting on the Frankfurt Auto Show: I should start using condoms to lower my carbon footprint. The facts are coming out, if you want a car that has a small carbon footprint (we’ll skip over the argument that you wouldn’t have a car) than you should have a small car. A very small car. The kind of car that would make you get out of it if you wanted to…discuss… the birds and the bees. The kind of car that doesn’t need to carry a large family.
Who knew, right? Give the full post a look to learn more.
Guest poster Joshua Wiese, the coordinator for the Adopt a Negotiator project kicked off our first post for 360 Degrees of Copenhagen -- a series of blog posts leading up to the United Nations Climate Change Conference (aka COP15) in Copenhagen on December 7th, 2009. Give it a read.
Current Comedy
Funny man Josh Heller is in a "tribute" mood this week, and he has three Current Comedy blog posts to place on the alter of the Internet gods (that means you, dear readers):
First up, a Current Virals rundown dedicated to the memory of Patrick Swayze. No one puts Heller in the corner.
Next up, a very special Current Comedy blog post about the most famous meme to ever surface from Mexico in dedication of Mexican Independence Day.
Last, but not least, a special taste of what is to come on infoMania this week. Here's a hint: it involves Sarah Haskins and backpacks. Think you know the answer? Better click to make sure.

And we're back with another favorite stories countdown post! Last Friday we checked out Sergio's list, but this time around we spent some quality time with Ellen Fox, co-host for The Rotten Tomatoes Show and all around funny person extraordinaire.
Watch Ellen Fox on The Rotten Tomatoes Show on Thursdays at 10:30/9:30c on Current TV
Here's what Ellen had to say about her top 14:
Ya know who gets their own two-hour TV show about stuff they like? THIS guy! Yeah, tonight Current is re-airing my countdown of favorite videos – and if you like my taste in movies, you may like these segments, too! (Also, if you don’t like my taste in movies, you may finally find something we both like.)
If there’s a common thread running through the line-up, it’s probably “Beautiful Women Doing Interesting Things.” Catching catfish with their bare hands, rioting over chocolate, driving convoys through Iraq.
Enjoy!
So, grab your headphones, tell your boss you have a 2-hour conference call, and check out Ellen Fox's top 14 Current TV videos for a taste of what is airing on Current TV today at 3pm E / 6pm P. If you can't make it, we'll be re-airing it again on Monday 9/28 at 3pm E / 6pm P.
