with the attitude "Just show me
what you can do," said Holbrook.
He stated that college audi

average audiences. "Young peo

things, always seeking and
it's a damn good thing." "Col

—they emit emotional and in

Holbrook began his career ap

college students.
Holbrook worked on television
for five years but prefers work

of an audience in that medium is
bad for the performer. He must
feel the empathy of the audience
—''it is half the performance."
Holbrook will give no advice
to "aspiring young artists." He
said that "advice for some peo

people must develop their own

This rapid fall in temperature
