Day 196 VLOG CLICK HERE!
A lady who had seen our first videos reached out to our productions page to tell us how much she enjoyed them. I wrote her back and thanked her for her subscription to the channel and her support. Turns out she's manager of note so I will indeed stay in contact with her for the future.
Did two Spiderman parties today. Pretty straight forward stuff except the second party had a bit of a problem at the end. They had hired Spiderman (me), Batman, Ironman and Captain America. The father was a little drunk and lacked time management skills. 4-5pm doesn't mean 4-5:10. You want pictures with all the kids, superheroes, aunts and uncles, godparents and any other relatives? Plan accordingly. Build it into the schedule because Ill tell you, I don't mind a couple extra pictures but this was the classic "One more!!" which means shit. Well Batman had to leave because he was going to be late for his next party. This sent the father into a drunken rage. Keep in mind he already is a big the Hulk. Long story short, talked him down, we got paid and everyone is happy. That is until next year for the boys 5th birthday!!
Hulk drunk! Hulk Smash!!
Until tomorrow!

Day 195 - All Hail Kaiser Assassins
Day 195 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Continuing on with the rehearsal process. I sit, watch, listen and absorb. Nothing new except I'm in for Balladeer on Thursday and Guiteau on Friday. Sadly, its only for rehearsal.
I did see in this week's Entertainment Weekly that Denis O'Hare played Guiteau on Broadway. I knew him from True Blood and hadn't connected that I had see him twice in NYC. He was crazy good!

Day 193 - Props and Kiddle Karoo
Day 193 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Got an idea! Quick! Make a prop list, finalize a script, scout some wardrobe and get to bed early. Tomorrow is going to be fun!
Had a monster house party with Kiddle Karoo tonight in Pasadena. Great fun! But so tiring! Wearing head to toe monster outfits and dancing for 45 minutes in LA heat is ridiculous. I got such a sunburn!
The skin is literally peeling off!! No its really Cantankerous Carmudgien the 3rd. Or as his mommie calls him "Mudgie!"
But the little kiddies enjoy it!

Day 192 - The Assassins In My Head
Day 192 VLOG CLICK HERE!
At this point Assassins is constantly playing in my head. Im going over my parts again and again, visualizing my blocking, understanding the reasons for my characters actions. I can't wait to perform. I hope I can fill the house with my friends and MY FRIENDS ONLY!! I kid, I kid. But seriously, the house is maybe 50 people and if I can get 20 there I'll be happy. But there are also industry professionals and others I would like there too so yes 50 people! First, I have to set my dates.

Day 191 - Travers, Twitter and Assassassassassins.
Day 191 VLOG CLICK HERE!
If you are an actor and havent check out Dallas Travers then do yourself a favor. She teaches actors how to empower themselves. Waiting by the phone wont do it nor did it ever. I've been trying to implement some of her techniques. More on that as it develops.
Also giving Twitter another try. Honestly, it seems like girly attention deficit disorder nonsense. I have a thought! I must share it! But Im hell bent on learning how to utilize it more successfully to promote myself and to stay in contact with fellow actors and industry professionals.
More Assassins rehearsals. In my head, I'm ready. I need some practical application. Watching isn't cutting it for me. Im getting anxious. I see what the leads are doing and its a great job but not the way I would do it. I have made other choices and thats fine. Same character but a different interpretation. Something I can't wait to explore in the real world....within the play world.....nevermind....you know what I mean!

Day 190 - Ani Avetyan and Couerage Theater Connection
Day 190 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Met with Ani Avetyan, casting director for The Closer and its spins off Major Crimes, at Actorswest. She likes to look everyone in the face and say either "Nice to meet you" or "Good to see you again." Its great she makes these connections, these personal connections, because it seems so much of this business is "you don't fit, so I forget." You make these connections first so when you are in that room and the piece doesn't quite fit, they continue to bring you in until it does and you book. Versatility is paramount!
Interesting point of interest, the previous show with the Couerage Theater Company was produced by Ani Avetyan. She knows the many of the Couerage staff and will hopefully be in attendance for Assassins.
And we did a stumble through of the show tonight. Im off book for both roles. Anybody want a night off? I'm good to go! Anybody!!?! Bueller??! Bueller......?
And some much needed BS to help validate this blogging effort. Thanks bro!
