I absolutely hate my day job.  I work at a real estate company, as I've stated in previous posts, where I basically do boring office work all day.  If I wanted to be a real estate broker, I'd be in heaven.  Unfortunately, being a real estate broker is equivalent to me considering suicide.  "If this was my career, I'd have to throw myself in front ( Read more... )

"I stepped up, took a swing and got a hit.  Katarina and I hooked up two weekends ago.  Finally.  I would like to think that we're dating but to tell you the truth, I just have no idea with this girl.  She is by far one of the craziest, tough-to-read girls I have ever met.  Just when I think I have an idea on how to read her, she does something ( Read more... )

I've got about 15 minutes before I head out from work so I drop a quick update.  First and foremost is that I'm continuing to go to these casting director workshops.   Last Saturday I went to two, both of which were all improv and both of which went really well.  Scott David, who casts Criminal Minds and Leverage, attended the morning session where ( Read more... )

News of Late:

I'm continuing to read for Casting Directors, Casting Associates and others while submitting for different projects, etc.  I'm about to leave for another workshop in about 20 minutes.

My buddy Jimmy is playing the lead in an ABC pilot called "Brothers and Detectives."  If it gets picked up you're going to see him next fall in the show ( Read more... )

This week is going to be very busy.  I've got three showcases and an audition in three days.  On Thursday I'll give an update of how it all went ( Read more... )

So both the casting session with Chad Struck and the Manager Showcase night went really well.  I got some very positive feedback from each of the managers and it gave me a huge confidence boost.

It's nice to know I'm making good on the resolution I made for 2009 - last week I did two casting director workshops and a manager showcase.  This week ( Read more... )

Last week I had auditions for Signature Studio LA and One-on-One Productions. Both of these organizations are networking groups that put on casting director workshops as well as agent and manager showcases. I got into both, and I wasted no time getting involved, attending my first workshop this past Saturday. So I have acted quickly on my New ( Read more... )

Now that I've gotten the past out of the way, it's time to start looking at the present.

The facts:

The dream: Acting in major motion pictures
The tools:  I have a website, headshots, resume, reel and solid acting training behind me.
The obstacles: It's a fucking hard business to crack.  I currently don't have an agent or manager or any real casting ( Read more... )

In reading my previous journal entries, I found that just about every one has some variation of "I need a girlfriend," "I want a girlfriend" (etc. ad infinitum).  This statement would be followed by some pity-party emo boy sigh while I was probably listening to some Dashboard song.  I just wish someone would have stopped me, shook me and said, " ( Read more... )

It's been two years since I've actually posted in Livejournal.  I thought I had given it up forever as a momento of the past, until this past week when when I was in Chicago for New Year's and Seth started reading from our old Lj's.  I couldn't believe how much I had forgotten in both events and inside jokes.  I remember old Mr. Nethercott from ( Read more... )
