An interesting thing has been happening recently… I’ve had several actors approaching me and asking for advise on their careers. I find this to be a very interested phenomenon because I feel like I am in no way in a place to be giving advise – I’m still figuring this all out for myself! But none the less, this got me thinking, so I’ve put together my top 5 pieces of advice for actors that were either told to me, or they I’ve figured out along the way. These are not regarding technique or anything to do with skill, these are all about the business/career side of it since I am in no way an acting coach:

Super excited about two new projects coming up in July and August! And very ironically, in both of these films, my character is a prostitute! Go figure!

Train to Estilline is a sci-fi western which will be shot in Texas. I play the supporting role of Isabel, who is an extremely fun character. I have been dying to be in a western, so I am extremely excited to finally get the chance to do it!

Normal, is a dark thriller, shooing in RI with the SFR family. It’s written by Lenny Schwartz and is a really compelling piece – sure to make your skin crawl! I play the lead female role of Shelly, and other than saying that she’s a prostitute who offers comfort to the lead character, I can’t really say much else since it would give some things aways… so you’re just going to have to watch to find out!

No photos allowed on set, so nothing to show other than the bruises lol! Getting to this point was a pretty length process! First was the initial casting call where all they did was have us pretend to kick a soccer ball while they took a photo – so obviously it was all about the look. The call was for high school soccer players, so I was pretty surprise I got past this part.

Since San Fran is only a 6-7 hour drive from LA, Michael, Alex and myself along with tow of our new friends, Donnie and Sara, went up for the screening of The Disco Exorcist. We arrived just in time for the showing on Saturday. The audience reaction to the film was great – laughs, claps, gasps And I even think I had a fan as there was an extra “whoot” for my name in the opening credits haha! We stayed for a Q&A after the showing and mostly people were completely amazing that this film was made on such a small budget. Of course the questions of unions came up and we also gave out some business cards after.

Finally had our last show of Trojan Women – after a 5 week run with 4 shows a week, it’s been a long one! Can’t really say I’d sad it’s over, all though I will miss some of the girls – it’s a really draining show and to do it four times a week, plus the time commitment was taxing, all though, like every play I do, I’m glad I did it

Another year gone, and a new one lays ahead. Time to review what’s been done and set new goals for 2012!

Three big things for me in 2011 was of course the move to LA, getting an agent, and then also working on the film Exhumed, which I think it the best work that I have done to date. While it wasn’t my most prolific year since I spent 2 months traveling across the country and going on a long-awaited honeymoon to Fiji, I’ve finally made it to LA, which is a big step in so many respects. Here is a recap of the projects I worked on in 2011 and where they currently stand in the production process:
