Day 38 VLOG CLICK HERE!
My final day on NCIS was bitter sweet. I told the PA Josh if my character weren't written off the show I'd beg to come back. Maybe on NCIS:LA! David MacCullum and Mark Harmon shook my hand after they announced "Thats a wrap on Travis!" The show is a well oiled machine to be on the air for 9 seasons. The 200th episode airs tonight! What a run!
Rewrote Politician role to make him more in control of the situation that he's walking into.
Need to look over Joseph music since tonights rehearsal was cancelled. At this point I haven't done it. I fell asleep while editing because I woke up at 5:30am! Lalalala...lala...la..la......la.....snore.
Until tomorrow!

Day 37 - Update CD list, After Effects and Taped Wendy's Audition
Day 37 VLOG CLICK HERE!
I sent an updated list of 25 casting directors I have seen in the last 6 months to my agent. From this list, we can narrow it down and focus on a select few that I'm super interested in!
Took a look at After Effects and Premiere from Adobe. Might possibly use my Tongal winnings to buy them since the check came in!
Wesam forwarded me an audition for a Wendy's commercial for a rope spinning cowboy. I submitted and got an email 30 minutes later about submitting a video for consideration. Threw together my boots and rope and lasso-ed a chair and emailed it off! And it pays SAG rates now since Im a member! Yeehaw!

Day 36 - Played Hookie, Una Vida Mejor and Superbowl Sunday
Wasn't ready for class today so I opted not to go. I know insight can be gained from attending and watching but I do enjoy stretching when I'm there as well since I am paying to take class. I'll hit it hard this week and be ready for next.
"Una Vida Mejor" translates to "A Better Life" a feature who's male lead, Demian Bichir, is nominated for BEST ACTOR. I started to watch it and realized my copy didn't have subtitles for the Spanish sections. It prompted me to hit the Rosetta Stone today and knock out a few for lessons.
Went to David Loren's new apartment for the Superbowl, enjoyed the game because it was close. Favorite commercial of the evening was AUDI with its LED headlights that kill vampires. Brilliant!
Until tomorrow!

Day 35 - Deedee Bradley, Spongebob and SAG card
Day 35 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Deedee is a lovely woman. She's very up front and honest but gentle in her approach. I have her to thank for "Smallville" and ten wonderful years of my life! She also casts "Switched at Birth" which is now mid season. Had another great read. I really enjoy doing the cold reads with the other actors in these workshops. Its as if Im audition 20 plus times instead of once.
Party Creations sent me to Pasadena to do a Spongebob/Pirate party. I really enjoy these two characters in tandem except SB is so blind and I cant put my hands together. But other than that its the energy and voice of the character I love the most. And the kids eat it up!
Lastly my SAG card came and now I can get into SAG theaters for free!! Well its not really free. I pay my dues.

Day 34 - Pilot Audition, "Chronicle" and getting paid
Day 34 VLOG CLICK HERE!
I first headed out to an audition for a new pilot co-star role. Having one line to say you dont really need to think much about it. If you do, thats where you can get into trouble. Just read the line as simple as possible and hope you have the look they need for the episode. With guest stars and other roles that require a little extra then you can do more with what you are given.
Caught the premiere of "Chronicle" today and it was less inspiring than I had hoped. The CGI wasnt bad but it wasnt finished. The story itself left no room for redemption of the main character. You knew with his current family situation, self destruction was inevitable. I've been working on a similar piece and, while mine shares some scenes and ideas, it is still wholly original but will Hollywood want to see something so similar so soon?
Stopped by Storm Talents new office to sign check authorization forms so I can get paid! Signed a couple in hopes I book more, more often! Here's to staying positive and going further!

Day 33 - NCIS day 2, Joseph Rehearsal Day 2 and Private Practice
Day 33 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Today was the second day of filming on NCIS. 7am-9pm! Ouch! My scene was with the star of NCIS, Mark Harmon, and a guest star, Adam Kulbersh. Both are fabulous talents! I'm lucky to share the small screen with them.
Rushed over to Joseph rehearsal for an hour and then home! Finally!
When I got home the DVR was set to David Loren's episode of "Private Practice" in which he plays an Afghan veteran who is suicidal. So it's a comedy! Kidding. It's always fun watching friends on TV. It's a learning experience for all.

Day 32 - NCIS Day 1, Joseph Rehearsal and SAG mail
Day 32 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Today was my first real day of shooting on set with NCIS. Call was 930am but I didnt shoot anything until 6pm. If this hurry up and wait town has taught me anything its patience. Just breath and be patient. Getting pissed off and upset will get a one ticket to the unemployment line. Plus I really wasnt that annoyed. It beat working at CPK and plus I got to watch everything around me and listen a lot. Tomorrow should be fun!
Clocked out at 9pm and dashed over to rehearsal for Joseph in concert in noho. Luckily it was so close to my apartment. I hadnt eaten yet so I devoured the apple in my bad. Sang my song and we were out!
Had SAG paperwork waiting for me when I got home. The SAG handbook and by laws. All the do's and don'ts of the union. Had 46 emails when I got home and as Im looking through them I realized I need to adjust my posting parameters since non-union is off the table. But some of the posting still pay in the thousands for non-union and that hurts me. Ouch.
