Kendimi bildim bileli Galatasarayla yaşıyorum. Şampiyonluk yolu hep zorludur eyvallah da ,bu sezon ki kadar yorulduğum bir sezon olmadı. Sırtımda kamyon taşımış gibiyim.






On This Day — April 30, 2001: The world’s most famous mime received the Raoul Wallenberg Medal for heroism during the Holocaust. At the University of Michigan’s Rackham Auditorium, Marcel Marceau — born Marcel Mangel in Strasbourg, France — was honored for risking his life to save hundreds of Jewish children from the Nazis. As a teenage member of the French Resistance (photo on the left), Marceau posed as a Boy Scout leader and smuggled entire Jewish orphanages to safety in Switzerland. He used his gift for silent pantomime to keep the frightened children calm and quiet during the dangerous mountain crossings — literally “miming for his life.” He also forged identity cards, changing ages so both Jewish and non-Jewish French youths would appear too young for German labor camps or factories. He did this repeatedly, knowing capture meant certain death. That night in 2001, the man known as the “Master of Silence” finally spoke publicly about his wartime actions. He told the audience: “What I did humbly during the war was only a small part of what happened to heroes who died ...” He spoke movingly about losing his father, a kosher butcher murdered in Auschwitz, and about using his acting skills to save lives. Holocaust survivor Professor Irene Butter, who introduced him, noted that like many survivors, Marceau had rarely spoken about those years. When the applause died down, Marceau did what he did best — he performed. Dressed in plain clothes, he brought the audience into his world of silence, ending with the image of a butterfly flying to freedom. Marcel Marceau used the “art of silence” not only to entertain the world for over 60 years, but to save children when silence meant survival. A Jewish hero who proved that even in the darkest times, one person’s courage and creativity can shine.

What’s the best example of an actor showing up for one small scene and completely stealing the entire movie?
