TV and movie actor Mike Heslin, 36, died on July 2 of as-yet unknown causes. Heslin appeared in Lioness, The Holiday Proposal Plan, The Influencers, You Are Never Alone, and Boy*Friends, among other projects in the 2010s and ’20s. Heslin was trained as a stage actor, and said that “At the end of the day, truth is truth and the truth of a moment either comes across or it doesn’t. But that being said, there is a vast difference between how you perform a moment for a theatre of two thousand people versus how you perform it for a close-up. You have to adjust vocally and physically depending on the medium or it will come across as being too big and unbelievable (if you’re performing on camera as you would a Broadway theatre), or bland and vanilla (if you perform on a stage as you would for a close-up). Just my humble opinion.” Heslin is survived by his husband, actor Nicolas Wilson.
