KYJoe: an Appalachian Thespian

2006-Apr-30 - Don't Call It a Comeback...

Ahh the ebbs and, more seldom for some of us, flows of the creative pursuits. How does one maintain a Cruise-type zeal for life without paying exorbitant amounts of dough to have those pesky phaetons removed? (Is that right? I'm sorry if I'm a little confused on Scientology doctrine- I've never been to the Celebrity Center.)

Anyway, I digress, which is itself a manner of ebbing isn't it? Back to the crux of my argument. What argument (there I go again)? It's time to get back in the game. I've used that cliche before I know, but this time I think I probably really mean it. You might be wondering from whence this willfulness came. Well, you see I had a certain birthday recently, and though I was not cognizant of its meaning at the time, I am now. The 3-0 grenade has hit me, and I'm still carrying on. However, I resolve to soldier on with more... resolve I suppose.

That's me sweating and doing my best Righteous Bros. rendition on my BDay.

Now I'm hoping you faithful readers out there will hold me to that which I aim to do. Tomorrow, I will march into my agent's office and demand to see my contract (since I seem to have misplaced mine) so I can find out if I'm liable for leaving since I've been on 2 auditions this f*&%in year! (I'm rehearsing putting my foot down.) Now, my agent did tell me that the reason that few c.d.s (that's casting directors) are biting is because my headshot is not working for me. So, tomorrow I'm also going to hit up my friend E. Henry (who has volunteered to shoot me in the past to build up his portfolio) to take my shots some time within the next week (I wanna have a week of working out and getting the proper amount of sun for some good shots).

The idea, I've heard before, for actors is to make career progress in some way a little bit everyday. I've done this on a month by month basis in my near decade of time here, but daily? Wow, sounds a little crazy. But it ain't. And with your help we can move mountains. Or at least help Sisyphus (that's me) keep his rock at the top of one. I'm just askin y'all to keep tabs on me. Unless, of course, you know of an agent who will get me more than 2 auditions every 4 months.

Ciao.

Hey Chris man,

Glad to hear that you are going to hit it and hit it hard! Don't give up cause you will regret it, trust me.
Get a new agent and bust a move,

As you know it's a tough bizness. Only the strong survive and all that shit. But I gotta dig in and do it. It's my calling I do believe.

Glad to hear you\'re doubling up. Nothing but props from your Indy connection. And since I vicariously live my repressed ambitions through you, I have a vested interest in your success.
<br>I\'m not sure I have words of wisdom. But we\'re all sure, should the planets align, you\'ll make it happen. We saw FTA; we never had a doubt since.
