Adrian was reunited at The Creative Coalition’s 2011 Teacher Making a Difference Awards Luncheon, with his 11th/12th grade high school drama teacher, Mr. Schifman from NY’s LaGuardia High School. The former drama teacher is very proud of the work Grenier has done saying he is a “strong force of positive influence”.
And what lesson has Grenier learned from his former drama teacher? The “lesson of empathy. All of the selfish things you go thorough, the me, me, me, doesn’t have a place in mentoring.”
Emmy Award winning actor and Entourage co-star, Piven, took the time to talk about his mother in a moving discussion about her role as his mentor and contributor to his career and life. “I’m about to cry like a grandmother on my knees right now. The hardest role I’ve ever had is not crying right now.”
