Day 31 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Shot Well Played Episode 3 today but first had to do a pick up shot for episode 2 because you could see crew in the reflections of the microwave! Great fun. Still so tired from the Spartan Race but was focused to get it done. Kaitlin Cullum was our guest star and she did a fabulous job! Crazy, sweet and talented all at the same time! Check out Episode 1 here! Well Played Episode 1
David Quittman. I hope this completes you.
And my payment for SAG went through today so its official. I'm yet another member of the prestigious and over populated actors union. Here's to fighting the masses!!

Day 30 - NCIS stills, Surplus Store Shoot and Santiago Premiere
Day 30 VLOG CLICK HERE!
630am on set! "Travis! Youre first up!" And I was and then I was out! By 735am. I wore my Naval uniform and they took photos for my profile folder. Everything had to be in line and uniform and centered perfectly between the Naval flag and the American flag. My character is a Chief Petty Officer, the 7th enlisted rank in the navy. Its characterized my a distinguished record and time served. You receive a service stripe for every 4 years in the Navy. There are gold and red stripes. Gold indicate a perfect service record clean of any disciplinary actions.
Because I was done so early I had time to coordinate and still shoot the commercial for Surplus Store. It went very well and should be very funny. Did a bunch of different takes and a ton of improv. Cant wait!
Finally, joined Wesan and his agent, Addison Witt, at the L.A. premiere of the independent film "Santiago." It was made on a budget of less than some graduate student films and was better than most that have budgets in hundreds of millions. That is a feat. It was engaging from the very beginning, up the nose to fading red taillight. Congratulations Wesam Keesh. Blow him up on IMDb. His star meter could use the help. Kidding.....
Until tomorrow.

Day 28 - Elmo, Junkyard and SPARTAN sleep
Day 28 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Had a kids party this morning where I played Elmo. The parties are fun when you aren't harassed by kids and parents. Today was great. I think I made 7 balloons and then changed into Elmo for 20 minutes. Hugs, high fives and pictures. Super easy. Ideally I wont have to do it much longer out of financial necessity.
Next Wesam and I headed down to Hollywood to do a table read for our next episode of Junkyard and record the vocals. Check out the latest episode here. Junkyard Snoop Dogg
And finally, hitting the sack early tonight because tomorrow is the SPARTAN race. I feel I should have trained a little more but alas time got away. Check out this inspirational video to get an idea of what we're up against. Spartan Race

Day 27 - Costume Fitting, Table Read and Joining SAG
Day 27 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Went to a fitting for NCIS. Walked in and 3 nearly identical guys were sitting on three separate couches. They all wore slacks, shirt, tie, legs crossed and were on their smartphones. I tried asking for direction but they just stared at me. It was funny in my head. I said "Im going this way" and left the room.
I grabbed a quick lunch as the cast and crew were on break. I find an empty chair and ask if its taken and its Rocky Carroll who plays Director Vance. It says "Its taken by you!" He introduces himself as does Michael Weatherly. Super nice.
Table read was quick, looked around the room, saw the rest of the cast including Mark Harmon and David McCallum. I looked around the room and everyone had a blue script but me. I was too nervous to ask for one so I just read it off of my phone. I was going green!
Since I was SAG eligible due to my Burger King spot I had to join SAG this time. I faxed in my paper work and will have to wait until Monday before I hear anything. First day is officially Monday for stills. Great days ahead!

Day 26 - NCIS Booking, Hue Concept Complete and Sibby Kirchgessner.
Day 26 - VLOG CLICK HERE!
NCIS!! I booked it! Can't wait to shoot. Supposed to be 5 glorious days on set next week. It'll be like Silent Venom all over again but no snakes or Luke Perry.
Finished working on Hue for the concept phase of Benjamin Moore. Submitted our 5 best and I think they are really good. You know, it's funny. We're writing concepts for the character we created. We should be a shoe in but with 258 concepts, will the powers that be choose ours when it was our vision that created Hue in the first place? Oh I hope!!
And ran another workshop for SIbby Kirchgessner. Such a lovely woman. She just started talking about one topic and segued to another, just chatting and forgetting why we were there and no one minded. But then we got back on track and the class were great. Excellent reads. Jonte LeGras was in attendance. That's my roommate!!

Day 25 - NCIS audition, NCIS callback and Tongal!
Day 25 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Started the morning with a drive to Paramount to audition for NCIS again. It's always good to be called in. Matt calls me at work to ask how it went but secretly knowing all the while because.....
I had a call back that evening. Very simple. I walk in, say the line and go into cardiac arrest. Good thing I'm great at faking seizures. Kidding but seriously....I fake a seizure at Six Flags once and it went too far. A woman, a complete stranger, raced over and put me in her lap while I kept going and played it off. Wow. Boy did I feel bad. I was in 9th grade too. That was too many years ago.
Lastly, more work on Hue for Tongal. Need to finish and polish tonight. I have a feeling if our concept doesnt get picked it will be because there are so many like it. We kind of set that up with the description of the character. But what rocks is we get residuals of any prize that is paid out based on our character. Totes my goats.
