![]() ![]() ![]() The two were “on-the-road” in search of Mattie Ross (and other principal roles) for several months, scouring rodeos & ranches, spearheading the casting search.ĭebbie DeLisi is a triple threat in the arts and entertainment world, though not in the traditional sense. Debbie reprised her role of partner w/CD Rachel Tenner, recreating a similar nationwide search the two embarked on for the Academy Award ® nominated role of “Mattie Ross” in the Coen brothers film TRUE GRIT. Stay tuned!įrequent collaborations w/overall CD Rachel Tenner have involved searches (& talent placements) for nationwide casting searches for: LEGACY OF A WHITETAIL DEER HUNTER (Jaden), LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE (Laura Ingalls Wilder Scott Rudin, producer), among others. The first, READY PLAYER ONE (Universal Pictures/Amblin Entertainment), found them, along with their hungry team of go-getters, searching the world over for lead roles & securing one - a 10 year old boy! The next, KIDNAPPING OF EDGARDO MORTARA, is currently underway. Most recently, they partnered with overall CD Ellen Lewis in two Steven Spielberg casting searches. Giving many of today’s professionals unique breaks, Debbie and Adam have a knack for connecting talent to the right projects. Performers first, Debbie & Adam work both sides of the camera, so they “get it” when it comes to actors and the craft of performing. Barkhad was gracious in his recognition of Debbie when he asked her to be his guest, his first major awards show that year, cementing their relationship & a shout out to Debbie & her work in casting. All four lead actors in CAPTAIN PHILLIPS (aka Somali pirates) were initially discovered at a MN casting call she hosted. Because of that, he got stabbed many times by his friends for being too bossy.Debbie had the honor of accompanying Academy Award ® nominee (aka Oscar) nominee Barkhad Abdi at the Golden Globes when we was a Best Actor nominee in his break out role in CAPTAIN PHILLIPS. His ambition, though, gave his political peers the heebie-jeebies. Julius Caesar, a Roman politician, military general, and historian (who wrote about his military campaigns but conveniently left out his losses) played a critical role in the events that led to the demise of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire. When Caesar arrived at Egypt, he wept upon the death of his ex-friend - and then had fun with Queen Cleopatra ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). Pompey fled to Egypt only to be killed by Egyptians. Pompey, rather than meet Caesar's legions in battle, fled to Spain and then to Greece where he was defeated by Caesar's much smaller force at the Battle of Pharsalus in 48 BCE. This was considered an act of war as the Rubicon was the border between the province of Gaul and Rome. This tells us that he's a go-getter - albeit an arrogant one.Īnd so begins the massive beef between Caesar and Pompey.Ĭaesar crossed the Rubicon River with his legions and marched on the city in 49 BCE. ![]() As soon as he got back to Rome, though, he made good on his word - Caesar immediately manned ships, captured the pirates, and saw that they were crucified. You'd think that the pirates would be super offended, but they thought he was funny as heck and were quite taken with his behavior. When they failed to admire his work, he would call them illiterate savages and promised to have them all hanged. He also wrote poems and speeches, which he would read out to them. They did not know, he said, who it was they had captured, and he volunteered to pay fifty." He was also incredibly bossy: although the Cilicians were the most bloodthirsty people of the Mediterranean world, he had no qualms about telling them to shut up when he wanted to sleep. When the pirates demanded a ransom of 20 talents, he "burst out laughing. From the start, Caesar didn't behave like a captive. Caesar was a 25-year-old traveling to Rhodes to study at that time. In the 74 BCE, he was kidnapped by Cilician pirates. The article is going to be too long if I go over everything about him so we will only discuss important parts.īefore we start, though, it's important to note that Caesar was notorious for his swagger. Yeah, back then everybody (the Romans) liked to put leaves on their head. ![]()
