In talking with friends at the Art Deco Societys Gatsby Picnic last Sunday, I heard a lot of positive feedback from people that in general enjoy reading my page when I happen to post about my Acting career; to which has been put on the side to more steady work at the Vintage clothing shop, Decades of Fashion. Lately unless a job happens to pay me more than I would make working the day at the shop, or I get the chance to work on a great project with well known Actors, or Directors, I just dont apply for it; which is why all my actor friends havent seen me on-set. Ive been on the fence about listing certain not so big jobs whereas Im just a background player; those do happen, and I would certainly post if something out of the ordinary happened that led to me being in certain scenes (I guess look for me literally running amongst would be victims experiencing an earthquake in a couple of scenes in an upcoming Dwayne Johnson/Ioan Gruffudd film titled, San Andreas. First of all, if you truly know me in my personal life, you know who I am and how I handle this strange career. I enjoy doing it, I love the research and to be working in it, and Im very generous to those that I happen to be working with; and I dont think of myself as being too special because I have a lot of talented friends that could easily be doing this, too! Here is the latest: about three weeks ago I went to an audition to play a bad guy for a film titled, Americana; and I just got back home from a second call-back audition today; so wish me luck! The Director: Zackary Shedd and one of the main actors, David Call, were there in the room, which got me pretty nervous; David is from NBCs Smash, and Zackary worked on the movie, Rent. Before starting Zackary gave me direction, to which I nailed, but I asked for a line because of going blank, but proceeded to nail the entire rest of the script after the feed. After I was finished I thanked them both and left pretty discouraged believing that I had blown it, this feeling has always worked in my favor, but will keep you all posted if I happen to hear any good news back from the Casting Agency. Acting is one of the hardest jobs when it comes to self perception and self-worth, if you dont have thick skin or a strong ego; this is definitely not the job for you. The sooner you embrace who you are: the good qualities and flaws, the better you will be in selling yourselves to when that second audition comes a-knockin. All I need now is a Jaquar automobile; right Mr. Andre? ;) youtube/watch?v=2Bls1KKDwmo
