Day 59 - Star Trek:TNG, NCIS Episode and Fern Orenstein Day 2

Day 59 VLOG CLICK HERE!

An episode of Star Trek: TNG was on and I noticed several key players who are big today in the acting world that were but a blip on the radar in 1991. The episode was "Unification" and saw the return of Leonard Nimoy as Spock. But it also saw the arrival of Erick Avari, Daniel Roebuck and Steven Root. Look these people up. They are still working 20 years later. Thats a great career and one I hope to have some day. These people are respected as actors and they arent super stars but they are still revered as great talents and totally marketable.

NCIS episode aires tonight and Im already seeing posts on Facebook from the other times zones who have already screened it. Ill have to wait because I have to head to...

Fern Orensteins's workshop finished up tonight with a prepared scene from last week and a cold read.  I believe she's going to weight our natural instincts between the two different types of preparation. Should be interesting.

And it was! We did our prepared scenes to start and it went very well. We were then given cold reads and we did it one at a time. She even kicked me out so I had to wait in the cold with the rest!  She is a great CD to read with because she gives back. When we were finished she said to me "You need to be going out for episodic" and I couldn't agree more. It may be that I need bigger representation, headshots and/or both. Could definitely use a little more luck.

And I watched NCIS when I got home and it was a great, solid performance even though it was less then 3 minutes in length.  But remember, Anthony Hopkins won an Oscar for less than 17 minutes on screen for Silence of the Lambs. Yes, I'm the next Anthony Hopkins! Of TV.

Until tomorrow!
