I got up, went to the fitness center (walking there instead of driving), did my thirty minutes on the elliptical despite there being no AC, and even did some weights for good measure. Now, I am back home all showered, and I'm thinking of going to see a movie, but I'm seriously considering taking out my bike and biking the mile and a half each way ( Read more... )

I saw the new Star Trek last night, and I really liked it. This is coming from someone who was a fan of the the original series, then a fan of Next Gen, and so on. The acting was superb, and I like the way Abrams managed to make it an homage to the whole genre and still make it his own ( Read more... )

Well, there was maybe a half second where Russell Crowe was passing in front of the laundromat window, and someone in a CSI unit might have been able to get the right frame in front of ( Read more... )

Today (It's still "today" if I haven't gone to bed yet, right? Can I get a witness?) I went to Philadelphia for an open audition at one of the casting agencies up there (one of the busiest ones, when things are busy, that is). It was an 'open' audition because I wasn't trying out for a particular role, just getting in front of the casting agent so ( Read more... )

This past weekend I have had to deal with some pretty crazy people in relation to a couple theatre auditions. I mean, all theatre people are crazy to some extent (myself included), but I haven't dealt with this level of crazy since Alice In Wonderland.

Early last week I saw a casting call for a documentary film in NYC, that was supposed to be based on the novel "Freakonomics" or something like that.
