Have been my whole life. I blame my parents. Mostly my dad and his curiosity about time travel and space. And his numerous conversations about the possibility of life on other planets and the fact that there were 2 DELOREANS IN 1885! (this last just happened btw)<br />
<br />
It's no wonder then that when asked the question about my career and where I see it going, what would my ideal role be, etc...I know the answer. Sci-Fi. I want to be in a film, tv series, play...anything that allows us to so creatively stretch our imaginations. limitless possibilities when it comes to science fiction. But there are other reasons besides really liking the genre.<br />
<br />
I and my fellow fans are loyal. Insanely loyal. To the characters, to the actors. There is a sense of ownership when watching something within this genre. Look at Firefly. The fans took to the streets to get the show back. And it succeeded. They wanted to see these people, these actors playing these huge characters back. They wanted more stories. And they got it. They went to bat for these people and won. Watch any panel from any con from any show set in this genre and you will see how loyal the fans are to the show and people that create it. I want to be a part of that. Of something that huge but so personal at the same time.<br />
<br />
And speaking of loyalty, it's not only the fans that are loyal. It's the people in charge. I'm going to cite Star Trek specifically because it's been going for so long and some people's careers span the entire life of the Trek Universe, not just one show. It's so nice knowing that productions want to work with people multiple times and do their best to bring them in. I'd feel very fortunate to be cast in a show that would allow me to come back and play with the cast and crew again but as a different character. It's just a good feeling knowing you're wanted. And we see that a lot within the sci-fi genre and Trek Universe.<br />
<br />
Examples? Sure! I'm not making this up. Here ya go. First up is Robin Curtis. who you will all remember as Lt. Saavik from Star Trek III and IV.<br />
<br />
<br />
Robin Curtis:<br />
<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0193495/?ref_=tt_cl_t11" target="_blank">IMDb</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20071021222120/memoryalpha/en/images/2/2d/Robin_Curtis.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20071021222120/memoryalpha/en/images/2/2d/Robin_Curtis.jpg" height="320" width="309" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Robin inherited the role of Saavik from Kirstie Alley who played the role in Star Trek II. When her reps demanded more money for the sequels Leonard Nimoy recast out of budgetary necessity. Welcome aboard Robin. Robin stayed on for the 2 following sequels, The Search for Spock and The Voyage Home. But her journey through Star Trek didn't end there. She was brought back for The Next Generation playing another Vulcan (albeit disguised as a Romulan), Tallera in the 2 part episode Gambit.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
Next we have Merritt Butrick:<br />
<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0125190/?ref_=tt_cl_t9" target="_blank">IMDb</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120325200752/frightnight/images/9/9c/MerrittButrick.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120325200752/frightnight/images/9/9c/MerrittButrick.jpg" height="320" width="207" /></a></div>
<br />
Who you may remember from Star Trek III as Kirk's (SPOILERS!!) Son, David. (Just kidding. If you don't know he's Kirk's son then you need to go back and brush up your Trek) Sadly, Captain, David is dead by the end of this film. But The Next Generation provided yet another actor with the ability to revisit this universe and play with the Roddenberry's and Co. He appeared in the episode Symbiosis as the crashing-from-a-drug-induced-high T'Jon. Sadly that would be the last time he would visit the Trek Universe. But it's great to see that people sat down and thought, he needs more time with us. Get him back here.<br />
<br />
<br />
And here is Mr....<br />
James Cromwell<br />
<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000342/?ref_=tt_cl_t9" target="_blank">IMDb</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cb/James_Cromwell_2010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cb/James_Cromwell_2010.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
James Cromwell has made numerous Trek appearances. Probably best known or portraying the father of warp drive, Zefron Cochrane in TNG film First Contact. He also played Prime Minister Nayrok in the episode 'The Hunted,' and Jaglom Shrek in the episode 'Birthright." The character of Jaglom is almost unrecognizable until he speaks and I had that "A-HA" moment of recognition.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He also appeared in an episode of DS9 as Hanock in "Starship Down." And of course he reprised his role as Cochrane in the pilot episode of Enterprise, "Broken Bow." He's, over all, had a great career but in Trek he's all over the place. 3 different series and 1 film within the franchise.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Diana Muldaur<br />
<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0611707/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t15" target="_blank">IMDb</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121126165727/memoryalpha/en/images/4/4e/Diana_Muldaur.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121126165727/memoryalpha/en/images/4/4e/Diana_Muldaur.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Diana started her association with Star Trek on the original series. She's one of the first actors I can find who was brought back multiple times from the beginning. In fact she was brought back to play 2 different characters on the original series. She played Dr. Miranda Jones in the episode 'Is there in Truth No Beauty?' and Ann Mulhall in the episode 'Return to Tomorrow.' She was brought back many years later to portray Dr. Pulaski for 20 episodes on The Next Generation. Both the original and Next Gen! </div>
<br />
<br />
Lastly we have the Mother of Star Trek<br />
Majel Barrett<br />
<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000854/?ref_=tt_cl_t9" target="_blank">IMDb</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.roddenberry.com/bak/images/092508/Lwaxana.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.roddenberry.com/bak/images/092508/Lwaxana.jpg" height="320" width="263" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's hard to write out Majel's involvement in Trek because there has been so much. Perhaps she's an unfair example being that her husband was Gene and all. But still. Her career in the Trek universe spans from the original series through today. From Nurse Chapel to the voice of the computer. She also lent her voice to the animated series in the 70's. She popped up in the movies, sometimes disapprovingly shaking her head at the damage inflicted upon the Enterprise as well as a promoted Commander. In the Next Generation she played Troi's mother, Lwaxana and voiced the computer. That may be her most enduring and lasting gift to the series, as the voice of the computer. It's allowed her to be in every Trek series so far, except for the newest film reboots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This post mainly pertains to Trek and how they loyally bring back actors to reprise or create roles. But within the genre of Sci-Fi there are MANY actors who find them selves type-cast for those stories. I could write a lot more about all the actors whose resumes read like the table of contents for an H.G. Wells collected works. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0112871/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t9" target="_blank">Ben Browder</a> is a great example. Take a look at his IMDb page. GO on. From Farscape to Stargate to The Justice League and on to Dr. Who, he's made a career I envy (partly cause of the Who) because he's found a home for himself within the science-fiction realm and is enjoying doing it. </div>
<br />
<br />
So what would my dream role be? Or my ideal career? Give me a phaser and a green screen and tell me where to look. I could do that all day, every day and never be bored.<br />

MIller Shoes Building Restoration<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I haven't posted in months. That's bad of me. And I should probably do a full on update for the past 6-7 months. In brief, I went from a concentration camp inmate, to a pirate, to another concentration camp inmate, to Jesus. All in all, typical.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But for now, here is this little but of happiness on a cold snowy NY day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As actors this building is a pretty typical part of our daily/weekly lives. It's right on the corner of Broadway and 46th. I've always affectionately called it the "Equity Building" because until recently the entrance to Actors Equity was right next to it. Granted it's not the same building, but it's sure close. And it was originally a shoe store supplying shoes for the performing arts and specifically the actors and dancers on Broadway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The inscription below the Building's actual name is, "t<span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px;">he show folks’ shoe shop dedicated to beauty in footwear." Just cluing you in to what they sold there. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, times, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px;">On the 46th street side of the building, half way up you could always see four ladies greeting you as you walk past to audition. They're statues of four of the entertainment industry's greats. Ethel Barrymore (Drama), Marilyn Miller (Musical Comedy), Rosa Ponselle (Opera), and Mary Pickford (Film). They're all dressed as their iconic characters that helped cement their stardom. Sadly through the years the building has deteriorated and those statues have started to erode or have been covered with billboards, etc. In fact, poor Miss Barrymore has had half her face hidden behind a HUGE billboard for T.G.I. Fridays.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, times, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, times, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px;">Well, welcome to 2014. The Fridays is out. Gone. And in it's place an Express. But an Express that decided to restore some of the building's former glory. In a HUGE restoration effort, the facade of both the Broadway and the 46th street sides of the building have been restored and repaired. The Statues are back and completely fixed, the store front is clean and looks almost out of place now in a modern Times square. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, times, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, times, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px;">But I love it! These are my ladies greeting me on my way to auditions, and this is such a great way to show respect to the business that built Times Square and one I have devoted my life to. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I managed to snap a picture while rushing to another audition recently. It's not great, but if you've seen the building in the past you know it's MUCH better now. The gentleman selling pretzels and hot dogs across the street from me said it cost about 6 million. But I have no idea where he got those numbers from. He probably thought I was a tourist and was trying to impress me into buying a cold unsalted pretzel...(I didn't)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px;">So here is the best shot I could take at the time. If there is interest, perhaps I'll take more. But for now, here you are.</span></div>

I am too lazy to search my archives for a related post. So I'll just talk about the last week of annoyances from Explore Talent. I had a profile on Explore Talent 5 or 6 years ago. I realized it was pretty useless after about a year or so. I deactivated my profile. I was getting no work. And it was just a repeat of notices that were readily available everywhere else.<br />
<br />
Well, I've started getting text messaged from them within this past week saying thing along these lines:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lSMe8M7820M/UenIOacT8DI/AAAAAAAAoNw/9aKhZ1O0zLw/s1600/Screenshot_2013-07-19-19-11-46-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="283" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lSMe8M7820M/UenIOacT8DI/AAAAAAAAoNw/9aKhZ1O0zLw/s320/Screenshot_2013-07-19-19-11-46-1.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is the problem with this. This is meant to lure people in. You think, "Oh man! A part for me?" You call in and the operator will tell you that in order to submit you for this project you have to sign up for an account with ET. Which is way more expensive than it should be. Especially compared to the other casting sites out there which are MUCH cheaper. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So looking at this notice right away alarms should tell you that no one is going to cast for a major film via text. Also a little research will uncover that this is most likely in reference to "33." The film she is in pre-production for about 33 miners trapped in a mine. Probably not filming in NYC. So why are they texting me? Oh yeah, to get me back into their fold for $$$$.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A little more staring at this and you'll realize the rate. They can't just claim here is how much you'll get! Because really, again, who is casting through this. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So to sum this up. They spam people, those people call in thinking...what an amazing opportunity, and then shell out moola to join this site in order to be submitted for parts that are either already cast, or just would never be cast in this way. It's a scam. A total scam. It's horrible. I cannot stand how people in our business are always being targeted as fools and being taken advantage of.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I called them. Yes I did, thank you very much. And basically said, I ended my account years ago, why am I being spammed with misleading text messages. Of course they tried to defend themselves, but the texts are EXTREMELY misleading and it's pretty much spam. I did not ask to receive these. I did not sign up for them. If I had in the past, I have clearly made it known that I don't want to receive them by, you know, deactivating my account.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After being transferred from person to person I was finally able to get my information purged from their system. I hope. Moral of the story is to steer clear of Explore Talent. It's such a slimy, skeezey, sketchy...and other "s" words, website. They're in the business to make money off of actors. Not to help actors get work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Instead look at <a href="http://www.actorsaccess.com/" target="_blank">Actors Access</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Backstage if you must (but it's also got it's issues)</div>

It's more of a "I've gotten tired of looking at my blog and feeling it's a mess and beyond my control to clean up."<br />
<br />
I'm not sure why I felt that way. Maybe because I always feel like I just barely have control over whats going on around me. Acting is like being an experimental air craft pilot. I'm like the Hal Jordan of the acting world. Just...you know, without a green ring and stranded alien giving me special powers...I digress.<br />
<br />
Out of control. Yes yes. Most of the time I feel like everything is just barely being contained or just on the verge of blowing up. So those few things I do have control over, I've decided to give them my all. This blog being one of them! So I hope you all like the cleaner look and updated format.<br />
<br />
What did I do? Deleted a few unnecessary things and will continue to reformat a few of the things on the side bars. I've also added a pretty swift little navigation/menu bar. Whatever you want to call it.<br />
It's got links to my headshots on here, my reel, and 25 cents for love. Not to mention a link to the official site cause I know you people love going there and refreshing the shit out of your browser to keep up with all my goings on.<br />
<br />
Don't lie. I know you do that...err...I do that.<br />
<br />
So look around. If you're here then you've probably already seen all this but I welcome feedback!<br />
<br />
I'm an actor, give me notes damnit! Or good press. One or t'other.<br />
<br />
More to come soon though. Got some SHOW news to broadcast.<br />
<br />
In the mean time I'll leave you with this little tidbit from the Museum of the Moving Image*. Which is an amazing place and everyone should go visit. It's such a great trip through the history of film making from all aspects, not just the actors. But everyone involved in making a movie from start to finish.<br />

The way to keep busy when you're slowReadings Galore!<br />
<br />
When you're between projects what do you do? How do you fill the spaces between shows and films?<br />
<br />
READINGS! Theater companies have readings ALL the time to try out material for their upcoming seasons, as part of nights where they feature playwrights, or just to hear plays read. Production companies and writers themselves will also organize readings of potential works to be made. So, that's how I've been filling the empty spaces right now between project.<br />
<br />
The first set of readings I did were with the amazing company <a href="http://www.theatreeast.org/" target="_blank">Theatre East</a>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.theatreeast.org/Logos/2013/partial-color.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="43" src="http://www.theatreeast.org/Logos/2013/partial-color.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
A dear friend (Darlene!!!!!!!!) appeared in one of their productions last season, Normalcy, and it was by far one of the best things I've seen on stage in a long time. Smart Smart Darlene has done what all good little actors should do and has cultivated a loving relationship with this company. (Honestly how could you not. The Husband and Wife duo who run it make you feel more welcomed and a part of the ensemble than many a family gathering.) So it was with great joy that I jumped at the chance to read a part in Darlene's play, Property, at one of their new works reading nights. It's like a stress free audition. How can you go wrong with that? Twas a great night of words and beer and making new friends. (And hopefully connections)<br />
<br />
That hopefully turned into a...nailed it! Shortly after the reading I was contacted by Judson Jones, the Artistic Director to read a new play by the daughter of Dominic Chianese, the actor who portrayed Uncle Junior in the Soprano's. Why would any one say no? In their defense the action centers around an Italian neighborhood and hello...me...need I say more? It was a small part, but another good night of reading. Having people hear my voice say these words. It was a simple table read so of course it was rough in some places (talking about my own delivery) but who cares. They called me back to read some more! You can bet a thank you is on the way.<br />
<br />
The next reading I was invited to take part in was of Chekov's Cherry Orchard with the <a href="http://www.americanbard.org/" target="_blank">American Bard Theater Company</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.americanbard.org/uploads/6/7/3/7/6737164/4597875.jpg?75" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.americanbard.org/uploads/6/7/3/7/6737164/4597875.jpg?75" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First of I have to say that I love the idea of going back to American Globe, which is where Amer. Bard is currently residing. There is such a feeling of going home. Of being home. In a space that I've only worked a few times, but fell in love with. Both companies are filled with people who look at you and smile, instantly accept you, and want you to succeed. You'd think that would be the case everywhere, but it's not. So no wonder I feel like I'm home when I'm there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With American Bard I was asked to read a part in a very casual round table read of the Cherry Orchard. (Which to me is a ridiculous comedy. The people in it are honestly ridiculous save for one person. But of course no one listens to them.) I'll also say that sometimes reading the classics on your own is a chore. A chore among chores. For one who is a Shakespearephile, it's stilll so difficult to get me to sit down and read some of these older plays. But to sit in a circle and see and hear the characters come to life? Sign me up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Plus it doesn't help that I feel as if I helped with the planning of their upcoming season. (even if I really didn't, it's nice to feel important)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'd like to say this is how I ALWAYS spend my down time between projects, but that would be a lie. Ideally this is what I would do to keep the creative acting juices flowing. But you can't really plan your life out like that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So after all that, who spends their downtime how? How do you fill the spaces between projects?</div>

A misplaced feeling of power? I really don't get it!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm pretty sure we're all in agreement that this business is hard. Much harder than anyone ever truly is able to convey. (One thing my professors lacked was the ability to tell us all what we were getting into. Thank you professors for dropping that ball...that energy ball...)<br />
That being said, shouldn't we all be in this together more or less?<br />
<br />
I was contacted by an agency in PA recently. (Those clever few of you who know me better than others can guess who) I had not reached out to them. As far as I know I hadn't. Like all good actors I keep my log of mail outs and submissions. So they reached out to me.<br />
<br />
First off, PA. It's not my market. It's not too difficult to get there. And I know plenty of people who do that trek on a regular basis. Hell, I know plenty of people who travel in from Long Island which at times could be just as much of a journey as the train to PA. So it's not unheard of. Ideally I would rather not go there but it's an option.<br />
<br />
So I replied to their email with some simple questions. Mostly logistics.<br />
Do you ever send your clients to auditions in NY (my primary market)?<br />
Is there a sister or affiliated agency in NY you could refer me to if PA isn't too viable an option?<br />
And of course lots of thank-you's.<br />
<br />
The reply was 2 lines. Essentially saying they represent people in the tri-state area. Which I knew, but thanks. And to re-apply when I'm ready to travel to PA. <br />
Thank you but no thank you. There are ways to say things and this was not it. It's a smaller market anyway and will not do much to push my career forward. I looked at it as just a possible something extra to have in my corner, but I feel like they're the kind of agency that just sends people out for whatever, over-saturating auditions until someone books it and they can get their commission.<br />
<br />
Don't need em.<br />
Don't want them.<br />
<br />
But can't we just be a little nicer to people out there? Anyone else ever have issues with these smaller boutique agencies acting like this? As I write I also think it's an attitude they adopt because they think it's how the big agencies like Abrams operate.<br />
<br />
**This is also a lesson in 'Trust your Gut. Nearly all of the comments online about this agency are negative. The only positive ones are THEY THEMSELVES defending their reputation. Red flag anyone? Way to help that reputation.<br />
<br />

In honor of the 2013 Oscars I thought I'd share a pic of myself holding one from a few years ago.<br />
<br />
I like to point out a few things.<br />
1. How natural it looks in my hand. (for all you academy members out there)<br />
<br />
2. The SNL shirt clearly a harbinger of things to come.<br />
<br />
3. Where is my beard and why is my hair so long.<br />
<br />
4. I don't think I can pull off the t-shirt over a sweater look.<br />
<br />
5. I think I'm threatening Oscar with my left hand for some reason. Clearly he asked for it.<br />
<br />
Whether you watched or not, whether you agreed with the out come or not, whether you enjoyed it or not, you cannot deny there was literally a powerhouse of talent in the theater last night. I took away this thought:<br />
<br />
There was no real clear "winner." And by winner I mean that not 1 film dominated the categories. I feel like it was pretty spread out across the board. And a lot of predicted winners didn't win. Like Brave over Wreck-it-Ralph. And Argo over Les Mis....ok that's a joke. It was just nice to see it spread across the board and not just dumped on the year's big budget film.<br />
<br />
And those are my thoughts.<br />
<br />
I welcome others. I've been enjoying today's post Oscar discussions all over the web. From bashing/defending MacFarlane to the celebration of music in film/not enough celebration of music in film. (Apparently what this year's theme was supposed to be.)<br />
<br />
I will end this with YAY ARGO!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11086318503401608769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547393244917817181.post-62317561780300556802013-02-22T10:23:00.000-08:002013-02-22T10:30:31.616-08:00SNL: Again! An Interesting Start To 2013Happy New year!<br />
<br />
I realize it's been a while since I last posted. I have to say my picture a day exercise from last year was quite a challenge. I had anticipated posting every day. But thanks to the suggestion of a friend I started doing weekly recaps. And eventually much longer posts with pictures from a few weeks.<br />
<br />
While taking the pictures is easy, posting about them took a little more vigilance than I had anticipated. I think I'll get a nice slideshow up here somewhere. It's amazing to look back at a year in pictures. But all that made me really need a little break. Hence my absence for almost 2 months. But now I'm back!<br />

A lot has happened in the past 2 months. Some good. Some not so good. Some sad. Let's focus on the good...and perhaps the not so good. I've gone back and forth about whether or not I should write about this. We try to sell ourselves as artists. To make us look better than we are. Which I HATE. There are far too many people who puff themselves up with talk but it's backed up by nothing. So here is the down and dirty of this world.<br />
<br />
<br />
My manager dropped me. <br />
<br />
There I said it. We've parted ways. We've parted amicably. The thing is, I can't blame her. I don't think I'm a type she gets much work for. And I'm mostly a stage actor slowly working at getting into film. She focuses mainly on film. While she's been a great asset and has truly operated as a manager, it just didn't work out. It happens. All the time. Am I sad? Sure. Who wouldn't be. But you know what? Onward and upward. Her company merged with another and she could only take so many of her former clients. That's how things go sometimes. So I spent a few days scouring the web to try to take her off all my profiles because, well, that's what you do. Reformatted my resume a little. Made some adjustments to my website. Little things. <br />
<br />
Now begins the push for 2013. A few little setbacks did occur which I'll go into in another post. For now let's keep this one a little more light-hearted.<br />
<br />
So. Manager gone. That's ok.<br />
I think as she was literally hitting send on the goodbye email I was filming a digital short with SNL.<br />
So there's that.<br />
<br />
Now I've railed against background work. It's horrible. I hate it. You're treated like cattle because let's face it. In a film you're just glorified scenery. I hate all those pseudo-actors who do background work and then add it to their IMDB profile as "uncredited." You're not credited because you were background. It's a personal pet peeve. But what can you do.<br />
<br />
That being said, there are a few shows I WILL do BG work on because I love them. And the working conditions are fantastic. They treat you like gold. Saturday Night Live is one of those shows. The other being 30 Rock (R.I.P.).<br />
<br />
So yes, I did BG on SNL. But, and I know everyone says this, (those people trying to talk themselves up) I actually had a few bits. Which in the end got cut. I had several moments with Bobby Moynihan. One with beakers in a chemistry class, another in the lunch room. But it all comes down to editing and while I'm there, I'm not THERE. You know?<br />
<br />
The skit? Possibly one of the funniest and smartest I've seen in a while. The "Soprano's Diaries." Have you seen the Carrie Diaries? It's just itching to be made fun of. No. It's screaming to be made fun of. It's up there with Smash (which I think makes fun of itself not to need a parody. Oh Smash...)<br />
<br />
So sure I lost a manager, but I was on SNL again. And the best thing was the commute to the location was just around the block. Here is the skit...until NBC pulls it from youtube. Enjoy!<br />

<br />
Don't answer that.<br />
<br />
I especially love when technology works how it's supposed to. By making our lives better. For example. Auditioning. It's not the most fun thing in the world. Sometimes it can be soul sucking and destroying. Oh yeah, and disappointing. Even more so, sometimes, when there is an amazing project out there but there is no physical way to attend the auditions. As happened to me recently. So what did I do? I contacted the theater and asked if it would be alright to record my audition...Resounding YES! So I went to work recording myself.*<br />
<br />
It's easy, fast, I can edit it for the best possible take. It's still stressful, don't get me wrong. but I feel like there is a little more breathing room when sending in a pre-recorded submission. I've been asked a few times for various projects to audition via online video. I wish more things would go this route. But I write this saying...if you see a posting out there for a project you feel right for, contact the casting department and see if they'll allow you to submit online.<br />
<br />
All that being said, now that we can upload auditions online, I have some advice for doing so. Being actors and artists, we are always trying to maintain some kind of online presence for our work. The internet is a wild crazy land and information is all over the place. Some auditions we post online now might not look so great a year from now. Or might cause casting directors who are looking into you to suddenly see you in a different light. One not favorable for their current project. Feedback I've received from casting directors seems to say, "if it's not relevant, take it down."<br />
<br />
1) Privacy Options. All video upload sites, you tube Vimeo, etc., give you the option to make the video private and password protected. If not password protected, they at least give you the option to make the video available to anyone with the direct link. Not the whole world. Make sure when you're uploading an audition for a specific project you check these options.<br />
<br />
2) Social Media. Don't share this with the world. YouTube has the option to share videos to people by giving the direct link and not making it public. However posting it on Facebook or twitter kind of defeats that purpose. No?<br />
<br />
3) Delete! Once you're done. You know the project has been cast. Get rid of that video. You don't need it anymore. For anything. And keeping it on your account is just begging you to give in and make it public and start sharing the crap out of it.<br />
<br />
Sadly we're in a field where it's all about perception. You may have nailed an audition with one of these videos, but to another CD who may stumble upon, it could make them think twice. I'm not saying this will happen, but it could. And it's something that's come from the mouths of several casting directors I've met with. Examples of your work are great, too much and it gets muddy.<br />
<br />
That's not to say actor slates, or videos from classes are not usable. By all means. Those are fair game. Because they're things picked out for you to exemplify your type. And they're examples of you working with a CD. You working with a professional? Perfect. Use it. You auditioning for a part you may or may not be right for? Don't keep it around.<br />
<br />
Again, these are my opinions based on what I've heard navigating this crazy business. But to me it sounds like sound advice. Especially coming from people who are in the business of trying to sell you. In a non sex-trade kinda way.<br />
<br />
*No I didn't get cast. But I did receive an amazing thank you email.<br />

I know. I have a huge backlog of pics to add to this site for sure. That might be today's project later on. First, however, I wanted to pass along my very first guest blogger! </span></span><a href="https://twitter.com/Artsytweet" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" target="_blank">Darlene Hope</a><span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> (follow her on twitter) is a dear dear friend of mine and exceptionally talented. This past Friday was a membership meeting at AEA here on the East coast concerning Equity monitors and the state of Equity auditions. I was unable to attend the meeting since I was in Connecticut at an audition (that I didn't book, le sigh). Darlene was there and was kind enough to write this up. So here are the words of the amazing Darlene Hope.</span></span></span><br />

<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">"So FridayI attended the Actors Equity Membership Meeting to support our amazing volunteer EPA & ECC audition monitors. For those of you who are not aware, due to some unexplained legal snaffoo, the volunteer audition monitors that we have enjoyed must now be immediately replaced with paid staff. Equity made the decision to begin recruiting publicly for these positions...which pay a whopping $8</span></i><i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">.25 an hour. They did this without informing members of the change. What this means for members is that a new force of potentially non-union, non-industry, minimum wage workers will begin running all of our union auditions beginning in November. I was able to be one of many speakers on this subject yesterday at the meeting to hopefully show how devastating & poorly executed this decision was. My statement was not prepared, but it was heartfelt & honest. As an actor whose agent closed his doors during this recession, I have been almost entirely dependent on the EPA/ECC auditions to be seen by casting directors & theaters. And although its not an ideal process, I've almost been cast in Broadway shows because of it. When you work it, this system works. But when you throw personnel into the mix who will potentially be the equivalent to fast food employees, and who potentially have no investment in the success of these calls, nor any knowledge of their value, then it could be devastating to actors like me, who are attempting to get jobs. I tried to relay how disappointed I was that our elected representatives did not communicate to members what was happening, nor did they aptly consider the ramifications of their hasty decisions on the members. Thankfully, my comments were heard, and questions were somewhat vaguely answered...which means a lot. But in going away, I still felt as if the elected Eastern Regional leadership still didn't "GET" how this change will effect the EPA/ECCs. And furthermore, I was not confident that the willingness was there to "GET" it at all. The atmosphere felt much more like that of a union/producer negotiation, than that of a union membership meeting. Aren't we all still supposed to be on the same side?? </span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">For those of you who were unable to attend, this membership meeting was the most largely attended in recent memory because of this issue. It matters! Sometime soon work will begin on a motion to update an Equity policy change so that our current volunteer member monitors will be able to continue in their role. As it is, most of them cannot because of a policy set in the 70s that "staff" may not audition for roles, serve on committees, etc, and they may not return to their positions should they book acting work. Thus, monitors must give up their careers as actors, and active union memberships in order to work. This is absurd!! This policy needs to change so that our current volunteer member monitors can continue the loyal stewardship that they love doing. As you hear about these upcoming petitions & policy changes, please pay attention & participate. Lets preserve the union audition process. Lets not increase the handicap that actors without representation face. Lets not change the "face" of our union to casting directors, producers, and theaters to some McMonitor who is non-union!!!"</span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></i>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">I cannot thank Darlene enough for going to this meeting and for reporting back. It's an interesting state of affairs. I would also like to add that this decision not only effects we union members, but it effects all non-union who are the future of any union. These monitors who donate their time are also donating their knowledge. Many of which have been a part of the union and working within it for many many years. That's such an amazing resource for any actor. I know personally, when I was non-union, I annoyed the hell out of these monitors by asking so many questions. I'm sure I walked away with them thinking..."they let anybody into these things, don't they." In reality they were all too happy to help me out. And They have always been a positive boost before any audition offering encouragement and a smile.</span></span><br />

Break out the bubbly, friends. This is cause for a celebration!<br />
<br />
<i>Patrick,</i><br />
<br />
<i> Hello person I feel like I know because I keep up with your blog. First time writer, long time reader here. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i> I'm new to the city. I've recently moved here from L.A. where I'm sure you know it's a much different beast. After working in L.A. for a few years I've decided to make the reverse trek that everyone else apparently does. NY has a booming film industry as well as theater. I want to get back to my theater training a bit and stretch those muscles while also working with my agent to hopefully work my way into one of the many television shows filmed here. My question to you, that I'm finding it hard to get answered is about Broadway and specifically Off-Broadway. I'm pretty well versed in film. But when it comes to stage I'm at a bit of a loss. I've seen a lot of auditions for Broadway shows, but I've also seen a lot that say Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway. What is the distinction? And is there one that is beneficial over the other?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i> Any help would be so very kind!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Justin</i><br />
<br />
Justin!<br />
GREAT QUESTION! And it's one that causes a lot of confusion and contention among theater artists.<br />
<br />
Hello new friend! I chose to answer this in a blog format as opposed to a direct email because, well...you're my first write in question!<br />
Exciting...no? Imagine I've just thrown confetti at you and I'm apologizing for getting it right in your eye.<br />
<br />
There are so many terms thrown around there every day that its hard to sift through and find out whats real and whats not. Basic rule of thumb is size of the house. How many seats. That basically defines what code it falls under. That's not all encompassing, but it's close.<br />
<br />
We'll start off with the easy one:<br />
<br />
OFF-OFF-BROADWAY. <br />
This really refers to any small theater. 99 seats or less. In reality there is no such thing as OffOff. It's just a designation for the smaller houses and non-union theater. Indie theater, Downtown theater, Independent Theater; these are better names for this type of theater. Small houses, many of which are in the 60-seat range. The majority of actors are non-union or AEA working under the AEA-Showcase code. (Basically allowing actors to work on non-union shows.) Doing a showcase will not garner you an equity card. It will not give you points. (If that's what you're looking for) But it is usually some of the most rewarding work. It's where we can be the most experimental. Imagine the work you did in college in your studio class, just now with an audience. Most actors out of school, or just moving from another region will find work here. It's how we grow and learn<br />
<br />
BROADWAY<br />
I think this is the second easiest. You know when you're auditioning if this is going to be a in one of the big Broadway houses or not. In the breakdown it'll say who's producing it and what theater it's going to be in. Along with the type of call itself. Be it an audition for a principle or a chorus. The notice will say Longacre Theater, or Minskoff. Or it's an audition for a show currently running on Broadway and they're looking for replacements or understudies for down the line. The notice itself will say at the bottom what contract it falls under, LORT, LOA, LOA-NYC. These are just the different types of AEA agreements out there. A break down of these contracts can be found on Equity's site, <a href="http://www.actorsequity.org/AboutEquity/contracts.asp" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now for the 3rd kind.<br />
OFF-BROADWAY<br />
This one I feel is the source of most contention and issues. It seems like everyone claims their project to be "OFF-BROADWAY." I recently went to a seminar lead by Lisa Gold where an actor got up and was asking about how he could better market himself since moving (just like you) from L.A. to NYC. He said he's had some success booking roles but not as much as he would like. He said he had done some OFF-BROADWAY, but wanted to do bigger things and hopefully television. Lisa's first question was, "Are you Equity?" To which he replied, "No." "Then you didn't do anything OFF-BROADWAY."<br />
<br />
If something is OFF-BROADWAY then it is a show covered under AEA. You'll sign a contract. It will have a specific length of time for it's run. And the house? Will have at least 100-499 seats. It's based on the seating capacity of the theater. Along with seating capacity, it's based on the specific play, musical, show..etc. It must adhere to the correct AEA agreement. <br />
<br />
Now at one point the theater in question had to be within a certain proximity to the theater district. It has since been revised and includes almost any theater with a capacity of 100-499. Beyond 499 and it becomes a different agreement. One of the bigger contracts. A list of OFF-BROADWAY theaters can be found <a href="http://www.ny.com/theater/off-broadway/theaters.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. If there is ever any doubt, here is the link to Equity's info on <a href="http://www.actorsequity.org/agreements/agreement_info.asp?inc=520" target="_blank">OFF-BROADWAY</a>. This <br />
breaks it down quite nicely.<br />
<br />
And at the end of the day, if you're signing a contract it's either a BROADWAY or an OFF-BROADWAY production. If there is no contract then it's a non-union production, or a showcase with AEA actors in it.<br />
<br />
One is not better than the other. But it's important to know what you're getting into. Most casting directors also know which shows are OB and which are not. So make sure your resume is accurate. You don't want to be called out on it, like the actor in Lisa Gold's seminar.<br />
<br />
I hope this was helpful! And I hope other people find this equally useful. It's always a good idea to read everything and know exactly what you're getting into. <br />

They look like me and I still get a lot of compliments on them from industry, but I need some that are more 3/4. For those of you outside the loop, 3/4 means something close to a waist and up shot. Just showing more of you as a person and not just your smiling mug.<br />
<br />
So whenever that time comes around for new headshots* I always go back to the people I've worked with before. Because I liked working with them and the shots look good. Hell, they look like me. And that's what you want. So I reached out to past photographers and set up a few appointments. The reason for this blog though is a bit of a rant and a warning to people looking for shots.<br />
<br />
Make sure your photographer will give you ALL the shots taken during the shoot. ALL of them. One of my former photographers now works with a company called Colorworks. Well, not really "works" with them, but more like collaborates with them. He takes the shots, sends them to Colorworks who will then retouch the ones you like for a modest $50!!!!! fee and then bam yours. And the other ones you took? The un-retouched ones? You can have those too for yet another fee. Clearly he's getting a kickback from this place for sending his clients there. But this is just bad business karma. No no no. I pay you to take my picture. You take my picture and give me a disc, a link, anything with ALL my shots on it. So I can have them for forever. Why?<br />
<br />
It's important to look at good and bad shots always. You learn what to do and what not to do. And some of those bad ones could very well fit a potential character you might play. Or who knows, you paid for them, they are yours. So everyone out there. Make sure they will give you all your shots. <br />
<br />
Thankfully I know several talented photographers and am working with them. One of whom was my very first photographer and the one I continue to go back to. We took them on the hottest day of the year...at the time...7/21 around Central Park, but I'm hoping they're not completely saturated with sweat and we got some good shots. I'm also setting up another session with a photographer who did some more character type shots. For now we just cross our fingers and hope for the best. Out of all the ones I took I'm sure there are a lot of usable ones. I'm hopeful. And both amazing people that I'll happily work with on a regular basis.<br />
<br />
I just cannot stress this enough. Do not settle for anything less than what you want. Too many people try to take advantage of actors. It's sad, but it's always been that way. I for one am tired of people thinking actors will do anything/pay anything for things we need. Which is why I started designing websites cheaply for actors. And why I will not give someone my money for doing 1/2 a job...ie..not giving me my disc full of images from our shoot.<br />
<br />
<br />
What a great welcome back to my blog after a slight hiatus because of just too much stuff going on! <br />

I think I liked the idea of multiple posts for some reason. But I'm pretty sure that clogs up people's readers....as it does mine. So let's try a few of these in one post...woohoo!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>120</b>. The New Amsterdam room underneath the New Amsterdam theater. It's amazing down there. People think Since Disney is there now that all the gilt is from them. No, this is all restored from the original theater built in 1903!<br />

<b>121</b>. R2-D2. The popcorn holder. Obviously I have a slight affinity for this tough little droid. Or people just keep buying me random R2 things. My parents went down to Disney for their opening of the new Star Tours and other StarWars fun time things and I guess that weekend you could buy an R2 popcorn...holder? So this little guy showed up on my doorstep.<br />
