Josh's Bio

Josh Myers graduated from “The Method Actors’ Training Centre” in Pretoria in 1994 with a major in Method Acting. Method Acting is based on the teachings of Stanislavsky and was perfected by Lee Strasburg in the USA. He has toured his native South Africa’s Art Festival circuit extensively with workshop productions, scripted plays and educational theater both as an actor and a director. He was also lucky enough to work behind the scenes on numerous commercial- and movie sets.

Josh Myers(中文名:齊飛) 1994年畢業位於普利托里亞(南非行政首都)之方法表演者訓練中心，主修方法演技。方法演技是建立在史坦尼斯拉夫斯基的教學基礎上，並且被李．史特拉斯堡將之表演方法引介至美國。Josh曾多次在南非藝術節做巡迴演出(與表演者討論演出內容)、劇本演出、有教育性質的劇團(教導孩子戲劇表演)，在這其中不只是演員也兼具導演、指導者的身分。他很幸運地可以在眾多的商業廣告及電影拍攝場進行幕後工作。

Always an adventurer at heart, when the opportunity arrived to work and live in Taiwan he grabbed it with both hands. Although he hated it at first (he had major culture shock!) he soon made friends, got used to all the weird and wonderful food, learned a bit of Chinese and gradually learned to love it here. Now he never wants to leave!

Josh總是秉持一顆冒險者的心。當他有機會可以到台灣工作並且居住的時候，他緊緊抓住了這個機會不讓它溜走。儘管，他初到台灣時不太喜歡這裡(由於太大的文化衝擊)，但他在這很快地交了朋友，習慣對他而言所有奇怪卻又美味的食物，學習一點點中文，並且漸漸地學習愛上台灣。現在，他一點也不想要離開台灣了!
