Robin was super excited, and super nervous about tomorrow. It was the first read through of the pilot for Argonauts, the series he'd been cast in. He'd actually met most of the cast already at a meet and greet last week. And he'd worked with Michael Cain, met several celebrities while "helping out" with the Muppet Show ( Read more... )

I'm gonna be on tv!!!! Well if the pilot gets picked up.

I'm gonna be in a TV pilot! We film in New Zealand, and it's based on greek mythology and I'm playing Orpheus. Yee!

Back home, it was 2016, only about a decade after the year it had been in Fandom time when he'd first come to the island. Weird!!

He didn't even bother trying to figure out when it was now. He just enjoyed being back. And it was perfect timing really.

( Cut for exposition )

Woah. He got the job.

Woah, he got the job!

"That's great!" he said to Bernie over the phone. "Yeah I'll be right over to get the details." He was pleased, but very calm and professional.

Until he hung up.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

He'd panic and freak out about now, not screwing up the job, later.

Robin had really had no idea. He thought he did. He'd heard the stories, even thought he'd believed them. But he was learning that no, he'd really had no idea about auditioning over and over again for the same project. He'd first read just before Christmas, and since then, every few weeks he'd get a call to come back in. He'd read, he'd sung ( Read more... )

Having a connected relative could be both a boon, and a burden in Hollywood. Especially if you wanted to not rely on said relative to get you work ( Read more... )

Robin was always pretty nervous before going to the dentist. Lots of people were, but knowing that didn't make him feel any better. Fortunately the dentist Uncle Kermit had recommended was a very nice lady ( Read more... )

There was a little green MetaHobbit perched on the railing of one of the walkways in the convention hall, strumming a banjo. Robin had decked himself out in weetiny ren-fest shirt and pants, and glued crepe hair to the tops of his flippers. He'd even donned a weetiny brown wig ( Read more... )

Guess who's going to be a guest at DragonCon!! I've got a table in the signing room and I'll be on a couple of panels!

Hope some of you can make it! I know it's kind of short notice, but the whole thing wasn't finalized until just today. Apparently they kept thinking they were booking Nibor the Newt.

Well, I have an agent! It helps that he was already Uncle Kermit's agent. But Mr. Brillstein is really nice and he's given me some great advice. He's already on the lookout for projects for me. He says I'm probably gonna be kind of a niche performer, but that shouldn't stop me from pursuing jobs outside that niche. (that being cute, good guy ( Read more... )
