SR STUDIO - TESTIMONIALS
Richard Rush - "Steven, you are certainly
one of the most interesting and accomplished actors in the world. You perform at the same level with the same range and depth
as the two other finest actors I have ever worked with, Peter O'Toole and Jack Nicholson. Beyond that, you are so unique in
style and thorough in the depth of yor research that it's amazing you can eventually return to your own sweet self after a
performance." Lovingly, Richard Rush
 James Keach "Steve Railsback is not only one of my best friends but one of the great actors of his generation. He is an
actor with a rare degree of intensity that was recognized by great directors like Elia Kazan and Richard Rush. I have had the good fortune to work with Steve on the first movie I directed that Steve and I wrote together called The Forgotten which won a cable ACE award. Since then we have worked on several films. As a comic actor he starred with John Candy in Armed and Dangerous and was hilarious. Not only is he a great actor, he is a great man." James Keach
 Rudy Ramos
"Steve Railsback, with all his awards and accomplishments, is still
the most under rated actor of my generation. At first glance he seems to be a very complicated person but in truth he is just
very focused on his objectives. Humble, loving, and giving, I am truly honored to call him a friend. If there were more people
like him the world would be a better place...The Acting Workshops we do around the country have been a great joy for
me because after 35 years of friendship I am still learning from him. I love watching him work with the students
and talk about Acting. He brings the same passion to his teaching as he does to his acting. He loves Acting,
he loves Actors. " Rudy Ramos
 Scott Wilson "Steve is amongst the finest
actors we have. He explores the complexities of the human heart while bringing an organic credibility to each role he plays.
His performances light up the screen and leave the audience enlightened and more understanding of the human condition. I have
known Steve for years and had the great pleasure of working with him. He is a generous, unselfish actor and a loyal friend."

Chris Nelson "Dear Steve, I labored for months deciding whom I needed to study with. If your going to commit as much of yourself
that you have to when acting, you need to make sure the teacher you are working with will be right there beside you. I could
not make up my mind; do I take a cold reading class, meisner, improv, etc.. There really are an awful lot of teachers out
there. The decision was taking a while. Then I saw your ad. I knew your work; followed it ever since I first saw Stuntman.
I knew where you came from and really respected it; your work with Strasberg and Kazan as well as at the Actor's Studio. Most
of all, your body of work; you have almost 40 years of experience. That kind of knowledge is invaluable; plus there are some
damn fine performances too. You back up that knowledge and experience. Needless to say, the decision to study with you was
made in an instant! And, it was the correct choice too. My
biggest problem was not believing in myself. If you have that particular problem, you better have a teacher that shows you
how. That's what you do. You show me how to believe in myself by believing in me. You create a supportive and encouraging
environment; safe. Not that you encourage us to play it safe but you help make it easier to jump off the cliff. I stress easier
because it's not easy to give all your heart to a character. And, it shouldn't be. You show us how by giving all of your heart
to us. Thank you Steve." Chris Nelson
