Day 152 VLOG CLICK HERE!
During my run of Forum last summer at Theater Palisades, a few cast mates and myself killed ourselves via mime every night. I compiled a list and want to shoot some of them as a part of our web series. It makes me laugh.
Got an email from the casting director of Assassins today and found out I got the Balladeer understudy. I'll take it. I get one night guaranteed so I can still put it on the resume. Its a small substitution victory for my senior year of college. Small. But welcome.
Until tomorrow!

Day 151 - Transformers: The Ride and True Blood
Day 151 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Rachel and I made an improptu trip to Universal Studios today because I had the night off and, well, Rachel always has the night off. The new Transformers ride opened on the 25th and I was skeptical. I don't remember the building being very big because it use to house the Backdraft exhibit. The story behind the ride itself takes place somewhere after the second but before the third. You are on board an autobot who is escaping the NEST, the autobot headquarters on earth, after Megatron and other Decepticons attack trying to steal the All Spark. Again. The 3D graphics are sick amazing. You travel from room to room as the battle follows you. You're high, you're low. So many familiar faces make an appearance even Glenn Morshower from the films. He briefs you before your ride. WHAT?! Check it out! But get there early because in these summer months you can expect to wait hours to experience it.
And I got the official call today. I booked a costar on True Blood! Shoots later this month and doesn't air until the end of the season but stay tuned because I'll have more on that as it develops. Great day!
Until tomorrow!

Day 150 - Assassins Callback
Day 150 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Had my callback for Assassins today. It was unusual because everyone was in the room for the singing and the reading. I did my best to tune it out because I didn't want to mind $%&# myself right before I auditioned. I feel it worked because I was totally at ease when I walked up there. I felt I did very well. I wasn't influenced by anything I heard or saw. I did my own thing. Whether I get it or not is not important. Wait! No it is! I missed the audition for this show my senior year of college and got put in the ensemble. My senior year! Thousands of dollars a year and I'm in the ensemble. I still have issues apparently. Let it go man! Nick Demos, the guest director, bless his heart for putting up with horrid attitude the entire process. I apologized and luckily he cast me his workshop I Want My 80's Musical afterwards and later for the summer season of Lyric Theater in OKC. So hopefully I will book it and I can move on!

Day 149 - Downtown Independent LA Screening of Empire
Day 149 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Went to a mixer at Collin Brazie's (Our DP for Last Call and Empire) new swanky downtown loft before we went to a screening for Empire and Nick Corporon's (our director for both films) new film Barbie Boy as well.
Very interesting to see myself up on the big screen. I look handsome. The response was excellent. I received great feedback from complete strangers which was comforting I guess. I was always a little self conscious about my lip but it doesn't read at all. I think it actually helps the character.

Day 147 - Further Edit and Panache
Day 147 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Did some more editing today. I'm really getting good at cutting around certain inconsistencies. For example, Wesam didn't have his hands in exactly the same place and fudged it so the viewer wouldn't notice. I'm loving it. I just need to do it with no distractions around so I get more done. I edited while I watched Men in Black one and two. So really I edited all of 20 minutes. Realistically.
I drove to San Pedro to see a couple of ex-castmates from Forum, Kristin Towers-Rowles and Frank Weidner. They were fabulous but totally under used. Not their fault nor the director as the roles were smaller than they deserved. When I found out the leads opposite each other were actually married, it made sense why they were cast together. However, I don't think they took chemistry class together. Cody Lyman as Jumbo was fantastic as well. I look forward KTR's and FW's next endeavor.
