So it's been a little bit since I last posted. I'm trying, I really am. I blame the heat for slowing me down. Somehow we skipped over Spring and Landed in Hell. Don't know how that happened, but at least the world didn't end like the 'crazy' predicted it would.
In fact, the world did quite the opposite for me. Thanks to the magic of...well..friendship? Desperation? Reaching out to people you care about? I had a meeting with an agent last week and wouldn't you know...I'm a freelancer. It couldn't have gone any better. Well, it could have. But I was contacted today about a possible upcoming project. So fingers crossed on that. The only bad thing I did was...well, 2 bad things. 1, I don't speak Italian which with my look and last name I guess people assume. When I said no, there was a communal..."aaawwee" from the room. Oh well. And number 2, I'm apparently too theatrical. Which I suppose makes sense since I am literally just coming off of Macbeth, and I'm a classic stage actor. I have had a few oncamera classes throughout the years. But we all know what acting classes are like. Lot's of money and hardly any real benefit. There are good ones out there, but there is a lot you have to wade through *cough TVI cough*. They did suggest I could benefit from some commercial classes. Which i agree with and am in the process of working on that now. I have a workshop with Liz Lewis Casting and am highly considering one-on-one because of its more intimate setting and...$$. So thats what's coming up for me education wise. But the moral of the story? I'm working with About Face Talent. I'm excited, really. They're extremely nice and personable and were fairly genuinely interested in me. At least I hope. So thank you all for your wonderful well wishes. The Universe heard and has delivered. Now...let's start booking, eh? A nice little perc from this is that my NY casting account is now free. I know, it's $5. But come on, every little bit helps, right? And my Actor's Access profile has their name attached to it. Looks nice up there i think.
And in related news, I also interviewed another manager this past Wednesday and they too liked me. Even more so. Probably because the gentleman and I have a similar sense of humor and my little quips that sometimes slip out landed on like minded ears. Not to mention they like my look. So there are good things coming this summer. I hope.
In fact a good thing about both...neither really have anyone of my look or type on their roster. So..this could be very good.
Or no one casts my look. I'll let you know.
Yay!! Congrats! ...and the picture of you with the beard = Yum! ;)
