I enjoyed working with Mr. John Wesley Shipp. He is what I would call a real actor's director. Being an actor himself he knows exactly what an actor needs. He has an ability to treat actors as individuals and not cattle. He sees each person's strengths and weaknesses and has the ability to coach them without the actor knowing that he or she is being coached. Summing it up, he is able to get the best out of each actor through his attention, knowledge, patience, and support.

Thank you for sharing that. It was cool to read that about him. I kind of suspected he was a pretty good guy and its great to know he has this kind of directors personality for I know from things I hear and read that some directors are just hard to work with or don't give you any kind of feedback. I am glad you had a great experience with him. I so enjoyed him in the things I had seen of him on TV.
