I got some new pictures– important for the casting directors. Shout out to Ted Westby – he is a pretty great, experienced and innovative picture taker. And he has amazing special deals.

Corrida – a short film by Darren McInerney
I auditioned for this film via Actor’s Access, which is a sort of open marketplace casting site. Booking any kind of legitimate, union job through AA is not very common.

life in the new dystopia
Since I started this blog, the world has gotten upside down. I used to be carefree, hopeful and full of ambition even at my advanced geriatric age. Our country was the land of opportunity and we reveled in it. But now the country is a scary place and I worry… So my new mantra is…

Today I’m reading “Educating Esme” by Esme Raji Codell. It’s great! I want to send her a message, if nothing else, at least to let her know yet one other being finds her work inspiring and entertaining. I’ve been cast in a show at Out of Box Theatre — Other Desert Cities by Jon Robin Baitz. It…
