Un-casting News

I’ve been on the other side of this a few times where I come in and take the place of an actor who has been re-cast, but I’ve never had it happen to me before…. until now. Quite an interesting experience. I was going to be working on a cute comedic web-series as the female lead. When I went into the audition, I read the sides, all though they were a little sparse, and the director and producer basically said, yes, we know they’re sparse, but from seeing some of your other work, we’re pretty much set on you already, and in fact, we’re thinking about re-writing it so that it focuses more on you than the current male lead. The words every actors wants to hear – awesome! Not surprisingly, I got an email a few days later confirming that they want me in the series – great!
Inspired by a recent bout of self-doubt and depressions that can only be described as “being in a funk”…
This was a pretty cool experience. I got a call asking if Michael and I are available to come in to do a table read for the film

Where to start….. I had such a great time during these productions it’s hard to really pick out specific moments. I don’t think I’ve worked on two productions that overlapped like these did. The majority of the cast of Normal were going to be rehearsing the two days before shooting started, however I was set to shoot Debeaked during those two days…. so I went to RI for rehearsal for Normal the two days before everyone else and did a separate rehearsal since most of my scenes are only with a few actors, then went to Chicago to shoot Debeaked for two days, and then back to RI to start shooting Normal… made me think I really need to look into some sort of frequent flier program! 
Hello from Texas!! I am officially wrapped on the feature 
One of the quickest shoots I’ve been on – finished a feature in I think it was 8 days (non consecutive). The film is very stylized and dialogue heavy. Think A Clockwork Orange meets Clerks, only the focus is more on sexual comedy than stoner comedy or violence. 
One part of our craft as actors is to look the part for the roles that we can play. Now this doesn’t always mean being beautiful and chiseled – some people are better as “the creepy guy” and keep themselves waif-like, or “the funny fat guy” whose entire career is dependent on them keeping those extra pounds. For me, I don’t really fit into either of this, so for me, being fit is an important part of “the package”. 
To join SAG or to remain non-union? That is the question. 
Wrapped on a small part in a feature and a short.
