3 months later..
It's been an incredibly long time since I have
updated the site--it always seems this way--but what
can I say…as usual, things have been insane and I
have been reluctant to just write about how busy I
have been. Much of my updates have been going through
twitter, which is turning out
to be the best way to keep abreast of what is
going on with me (and everything else), and I am
pleased to report that I am still getting that
article on iFanboy out once a week.
Lots of stuff is coming, though. I do have a spot to
share with you, I am not sure what's going to happen
with it, but it's pretty fun. Originally shot as a
short film last year, the director realized that it
might just be a good idea for an online ad…so we'l
have to see what happens.
(Hmm..it's password protected. Well, when it comes
back online, I will share it.)
As has been the theme, I am acting more than ever but
not for the public, which is ironic. I will have some
stuff to announce later this month, which I am pretty
excited about, and auditions are starting to come in.
I have to tell you, it's been really, really weird
out there. I have been to two auditions where
well-known actors (well, at least to me, they were
leads in two separate Star Trek TV shows) were
auditioning for the same spots that I was. I
am seeing more and more recognizable faces going out
for TV spots, print spots…it's just not good
out there. It's really sad. I didn't go up and talk
to them (though, honestly, these guys would be
headlining Star Trek conventions normally) because
you could tell they didn't want to be there at all,
but it was humbling to see this happening.
It is a scary time and I think that it's only going
to get worse for the short term. I have a sad feeling
that many of my acting friends are going to leave the
business completely--there just hanse't been any real
work here all year. You look at all the shows on TV
and you see all the well-known names headlining basic
cable shows..it's stunning, really. I am lucky I have
another thing going on, but it's cold comfort,
really--I like my day job, but, you know, it's not
what I want. It's just not. I love it at times and I
can be passionate about it, but I am designed for
something else. But that's life right now and I am
lucky to have what I have.
I have been working on two TV show treatments and I
am pleased to report that I have gotten them in front
of one of the hottest writer/producers in LA, who
apparently really liked both of them. I am not
waiting to see how hard to push next. I will be
keeping you up to date on this, because, well,
writing is fun. I just need to finish some scripts.
So, things are rolling, if slowly. Keep checking me
on twitter and at iFanboy and now that things are
starting to pick up, I will do my best to update this
thing more often.
