"You just never know" - Seemed to be the message Mr Arkin  conveyed during his  visit to Albq, NM   on the 15th of July, 2002.  Mr Tom Schuch, local SAG branch President was present.  About 100 people attended the entertaining event. Mr Arkin was so generous and gracious with his time and experiences that the evening was more like a bull session between old friends.  He also answered questions from the audience. Mr Arkin's tales were funny and highly informative to both seasoned actors and the newer members of the crowd.  Mr Arkin related how the film business sometmes offers something and then the end product is something totally different
- You just never know -
Thank you Mr Arkin for a wonderful evening.

Sir Ben Kingsley
Sir Ben Kingsley visited Albuquerque, NM  on Sept. 1st, 2002 .   Mr Kingsley's  outlook towards his profession and his observations of the human condition and it's relationship with the actor was refreshing, inspirational. and quite funny. His sense of humor only highlighted the man's gentleness and charm. The humility he brought to the discussion was surprising given the man's astounding track record but it complimented his positive and profound observations, some of which have been quoted.
      He is currently in Albuquerque filming "Suspect Zero" with Aaron Eckhart and directed by E. Elias Merhige.  It is due to wrap in October and will probably be released sometime in 2003.
He also has two other projects that have been filmed or are close to being filmed.
He admitted that in every case, his character bites the bullet.
      The event was presided over  by the New Mexico SAG chapter's president, Tom Schuch
Thank you Mr Kingsley for a great evening
