Hi. Been a while. Been quite a while.
There's been a LOT of changes and, then, very few changes.
I think I'll post the updates as they come...got a few events in the works.
So, for one of my SHORTEST blogs ever (holy crap!), here is the most recent news:
I have been cast in a feature film called Fall Away. I'm super excited about it. Here's a bit about the film:
"Fall Away is a feature film scheduled for production in January 2010. Written and directed by award winning filmmaker Julian Grant, starring Grant Stokes, and produced by Boris Wexler,“Fall Away” follows the life and death of Jake, the secretly bi-sexual lead singer of an alternative country band who gets brutally murdered in a Chicago alleyway."
Yes, yes, yes! And I play the back-up singer, Pat, (the sister of Jake).
It's quite exciting!

One last, quick, thing... I know it's incredibly weird, this business of "acting". Those who are in it understand this better than those who aren't...especially the family members...
Some actors tell the world when they are auditioning. They tell all the details and are more than happy to "tell all". They have no qualms talking about the audition (good or bad) and will give all the gory details (good or bad)
Then there are the other types of actors.
These actors REALLY, no I mean REALLY don't want to talk about their auditions. Some actors can discuss it after the audition is over, citing, "well it's now out of my hands...what happened, happened". Others, don't even want to think about it when it's over. That definitely includes explaining what that "10:15am appointment downtown" actually meant. It's often due to superstition, or just feeling like there's so much emotion that goes into each audition. There is so much rejection when you are not called back or cast.
I fall into the latter category. I DO NOT TALK ABOUT MY AUDITIONS. I will almost NEVER tell you if I am auditioning for something. I may only reflect that I "did audition for that" if it's plenty of months later. I am not superstitious about it, I just don't want to talk about it.
If you've encountered a "talkative actor" (redundant?), they will absolutely tell you about it. They will probably announce it on their facebook status. In that case, by all means, they've invited questions. Go ahead and knock yourself out.
So. Just like a woman you may THINK is pregnant, if you're not sure which actor type you're dealing with, it may be better not to ask the question. :)
