Alycia Kaback is always networking, you never know who you are going to meet.  Today Alycia Kaback ran into Dan Stockwell and seized the opportunity to network for VIP Talent Connect. Dean Stockwell  is an American actor of film and television with an epic career spanning over 60 years.  Starting out as a child actor, he appeared as a main character (Donald Martin) in the musical movie Anchors Aweigh, alongside Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly. Some of his other notable child roles included that of Robert Shannon in The Green Years (1946), Gregory Peck’s son in Gentleman’s Agreement (1947), and as Lionel Barrymore’s grandson, and Richard Widmark’s protege in Down to the Sea in Ships (1949).

Stockwell has the distinction of having won the award for best actor at the Cannes Film Festival , for Compulsion and Long Day’s Journey Into Night.  Alycia Kaback thinks its really important to learn from someone who was able to transition from childhood acting to a success adult career on the silver screen.  The kids at VIP Talent Connect Networking Summit would really benefit from sitting down with Dean!
