Eoin Macken is an international actor, director, and writer who stars as the lead role of 'Gavin Harris' on the NBC primetime series "LA BREA," with season two in production. The multi- hyphenate filmmaker wrote, directed, and produced "HERE ARE THE YOUNG MEN," adapted from a novel by Rob Doyle, of the same name, starring Finn Cole, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Dean-Charles Chapman.

“Training with Nina Murano defined my entire career as a performer. I use the techniques that I studied with her on set daily, not just whilst acting, but also in my writing and directing work.

Nina’s approach to always being present, listening, reacting truthfully and finding the inner voice of the moment has shaped how I work. When I direct actors - I try and imbue any thoughts with the Meisner craft and my lessons from Nina in mind, and in my own work I am constantly using those same techniques.

I cannot thank Nina enough for helping me understand the craft of acting and performance. I adore and respect her in equal parts and would recommend anybody to work with her. Nina is simply fabulous and has influenced my career massively.”

"Nothing I say could possibly give the slightest idea of how life changing my experience as one of Nina Murano's students was. More than any other professional, Nina has the uncanny talent to tweek and adjust one's talent and teach someone how to squeeze the very best they have to give from within. Being coached by her was not only eye opening but extremely inspirational as well.  I also must mention that somehow she always manages to bring together a group of promising and dedicated artists - almost working as a talent magnet.  I am proud to say I was a part of that class and that I will always be able to have Nina Murano as my mentor"

“It was an absolute pleasure studying with Nina Murano. I’m forever grateful that she was the first to introduce me to Meisner technique. She urged me to trust my instincts and live freely in the moment, Advice I lean on til this day!!!”

“If you wanna feel like you're in an acting class this is it! Nina teaches with power and grace. She's one teacher you cannot go in front of unprepared. Nina watches you from the inside out with specificity. The notes she gives are right on the mark! Nina teaches in a way that makes you feel comfortable and yet pushes you outside your bubble allowing you to grow as an actor. She's one of those teachers you always can come back to and continue to learn from no matter where you are in your career. Might I also say, she's an amazing person who truly invests herself in her students.”

“I trained with Nina early on in my career and before training with Nina I'm unafraid to admit that I was merely banging around on my instrument without knowing any of the chords. My training with Nina was and is my foundation and without it I would absolutely not be where I am today! Nina is one of the very best in the business.”

“Nina Murano is a true gem. From the moment we were introduced, she embraced me with so much love, support, and guidance. She has the gift of inspiring, and nurturing. She is a brilliant teacher with so much passion that it leaks into her students minds and bodies. Her classes are fun and serious and most of all – honest. She is real! Nina has given me such a strong foundation as an actress in both her classes and private coaching's. Nina believes so strongly in her students. She wants the very best for them. She in a beautiful teacher and person. I would not be an actress if it wasn't for Nina Murano.”

“Nina Murano has the uncanny ability to not only empathize with the actor but push them to the 'ultimate' of their capabilities. I have her to thank for not only procuring my craft, enabling a career to follow suit, but also the love and support she has effortlessly granted me over the years.

My path as an actor would have certainly been less trodden without my dear Nina and her wisdom."

My world’s collided late in 1996 when I became a founding member of ‘Nina’s Nation’ after my electrician, carpentry, modeling - in runway fashion and having graced the pages of magazines, catalogs and designer campaign – experiences!
Nina’s tutelage was divine and fervent. She is the consummate mentor, teacher and dear friend. I carry the wisdom and knowledge imparted to me by Nina each day -  On Camera - and Off - as well. She has taught me how to do one of the most simple tasks of all and that is to listen. How to be specific and relate to people in the moment are two other important skills honed through Nina’s guidance.
I’m fortunate, currently, to be hosting on my very own improvement cable show SCRIPPS Network /DIY’S KITCHEN IMPOSSIBLE .  Having worked for DISCOVERY Communications/TLC on “IN A FIX” and SCRIPPS Network/HGTV “SAVE MY BATH;” I’ve been able to combine and delicately balance my love of carpentry and trade skills along with Nina’s teachings to enter millions of North American homes to provide the ‘DO IT YOURSELF’ nation with tips, knowledge and confidence on home renovations. All while becoming a “teacher” of sorts, myself!

I encourage you to tune in and pick up some pointers of your own – and to view Nina’s “work” in action.  www.marcbsparky.com
