Still Going

I picked up a little job this week shooting a trailer for a mobster movie. It pays very little, but its only a few hours and I get copy/credit plus a guarentee to audition if it gets picked up by a major studio.

Tomorrow I shoot my new headshots with the new haircut.

I guess the biggest news is that I was offered a nonspeaking part on Miss Congeneality 2 which would have made me SAG eligible. I couldn't make it work with my schedule at such short notice, but it was an exciting call none the less.  ¶ 10:57 PM

  In the Can

The commercials are in the can as they say. The Mandalay shoot was a 3:30 am call, so needless to say I was a little tired yesterday. I got a callback tonight for an indy film that i auditioned for. It's a $2 million picture, which isn't big or anything, but more than some guy with a camcorder. I'll know more about it after my reading Saturday.  ¶ 11:36 PM

  Captain Commercial

This week I was cast in a debt consilidation commercial, which will run in several markets nationally. It's rather high on the cheese factor, but what are you gonna do? I am also doing a commercial for Mandalay Bay that will run in west coast markets. There are no speaking parts, I'm pretty sure that I will be playing craps.

All told, we should rake in about $1k for the two shoots...not bad.

Oh yeah...I had to cut my hair for the shoots. My agent and both casting directors assured me that I will get more work with this look. I like it...I was getting tired of the long hair anyway. It does mean that I have to get new headshots asap...which will eat up about 20% of the aforementioned profits...such is The Biz.  ¶ 1:11 PM

  Finally

Its been a stretch of auditions with no luck, but my agent just called to let me know that I got a part in a commercial. I have no idea about the details yet. I am glad to get something with Cody. All of my other work I've gotten on my own.  ¶ 10:54 AM

  Still Going...

It's gonna be hard to make a living acting. There I said it. I'm having pretty good luck, but its so inconsistent. I want to be SAG eligible by the end of the year so that I can audition more in LA. It's also hard to set goals...but there I just set one.

Peace.  ¶ 4:41 PM
