2006-Feb-9 - Back to School (at least for 4 weeks anyway)
Tonight I will begin a session with Nick Anderson who is an assistant of Dava White, the casting director for My Name is Earl. The idea here is that I will so impress Mr. Anderson this evening that he will beg for my headshot and deliver it first thing tomorrow morning to Ms. White. Then she will in turn call me to audition for Earl's cousin and I'll get on the show and so on and so forth and then the Reds will win the World Series in the fall and the Bengals the Super Bowl next year and pigs will fly and Marge Schott will be resurrected and go to work for the ACLU and...
OK I'll stop. Excuse me for sounding cynical. It's just very difficult to be optimistic at times. However, at least I'm optimistic enough to continue to try (allright- so 'continue' might not be the best choice here- it's not as if my effort has been sustained- it has ebbed and flowed much like the Pacific tide).
Anyway, I could say f@#$ it and fly to vegas and blow all the money I'm spending on this class in 5 minutes at the craps table. But I'm not. I'm hunkerin down and doin it. Like a hunka hunk 'o burnin- aspiring actor.
As it is, I am actually kind of excited to get back to class. Who knows? Maybe this Anderson fellow will have some excellent advice that I actually take to heart such as: "Don't use half a bottle of Elmer's to glue your resume to your picture." or "Personal hygiene is very important for an actor." or "Maybe you should consider a career in something not remotely related to the entertainment industry like medical billing or furniture upholstery."
Well, I'll just have to see I reckon.

| The class went pretty well, although, damn am I rusty. The 1st performance I did was shit. But the second was quite of an improvement. My teacher was "surprised it went that well". Thank you? |
