Recently, he’s taken on a few acting projects, including some low-budget independent films and the upcoming Hollywood film ‘Men of Honor.’ UO grad makes the big screen ■ A1998 U n iversity grad uate tastes sweet success in an upcoming Hollywood film By Mason West Oregon Daily Emerald Students of theater all hope to go out into the world and make names for themselves. Ryan Honey, a 1998 University graduate, is in the process of doing just that. Honey plays Yarmouth, a charac ter in the upcoming film “Men of Honor,” starring Robert De Niro and Cuba Gooding Jr. The film is an adaptation of the life of Carl Bras hear, the first African-American Navy diver. Honey’s character is one of four men who finish the naval training along with Gooding. This is Honey’s first role in a ma jor motion picture, but his face has already been seen on the silver screen. He was in an independent film called “Jacks” written and di rected by friend and fellow student Jesse Lawler. The digital feature, which played briefly last spring at the Bijou Art Cinema, has already won two “Best Feature” titles at the American Digital Arts Festival and the Arpa Foundation for Film, Mu sic and Art Film Festival.Aside from starring in “Jacks,” Honey was the co-producer and helped see the movie through from start to finish. “The dream used to be: I want to be a big movie star. But it’s more amaz ing to give birth to an idea and see it through to the end,” Honey said. This overall perspective is some thing that Ryan has always had, his ex professor and friend Jack Watson said. “Ryan was always wanting to make things happen for himself,” Watson said. Honey attributes much of his suc cess to the experience he gained through the University’s Pocket Playhouse. “I can’t say enough good things about the Pocket,” Honey said. “It’s where I trained, where I learned the skills that have helped me. ” Watson knows how important the Pocket Playhouse is and is proud to have it as an option for stu dents of the University. “In any artform, a student has to have a space to try stuff without try ing to please anybody,” Watson said. “That is what the Pocket does.” Honey has had limited time to re flect on his shifting experiences from the University to independent film and into the world of Holly wood. He has kept himself very busy all throughout his career. In college, he was one of the founding members of Absolute Improv, a group that continues to perform on and around campus under new leadership. He has also done model ing, commercials for television and the Internet and stage acting.

Before walking into the tasting room, let’s go over a few terms and etiquette that will be useful to you when trying and selecting your wine. Varietal: This term indicates that the wine was made with one type of grape. For example, Chardonnay is made with Chardonnay grapes. Pinot Noir is made with Pinot grapes. Sometimes it is hard to tell what is a blend or a varietal. Blends are wines made of two or more different types of grape. Wines like Bordeaux or Chianti tend to be blends. Howev er, these last two wines also refer to regions where they were originally made, in parts of Europe, so it can of ten be confusing as to what a wine is, what it was made from or where it comes from. Therefore, don't be The featured wine varieties from Secret House Vineyard in nearby Veneta have received many awards both nationally and regionally. afraid to ask questions. Next, find out what vintage a wine is or when it was made. This can often be very important infor mation.
