James Dean and River Phoenix were icons during their careers.
In the 1950’s when James Dean exploded onto the scene with a blazing burst of talent, the words used to describe his performance in Broadway’s “The Immoralist” was “Talent to be watched.”
Not since, the film “Running on Empty” where River Phoenix transitioned into more adult oriented roles has there been an actor filled with wonder, pain, spirit, hope, and adventure, until now.
His name is Curt Roland.
Comparable to the iconic figures, the methods in which Curt Roland immerses himself so deeply into a character is breath-taking to observe. There are talented people all over the world, but once in a while someone comes along that mesmerizes a generation.
Curt Roland is a “Talent to be watched.”
