Catch 22

Acting is quite an incredible adventure to embark on. So far as everyone knows, you can only get representation when you have work to show them, and you can only get work by having representation. So how, pray tell, does one get either/or to start? I don't know... if I did, I'd be working I guess. But, it is about who you know- and being skilled in the art of fellatio can't hurt.

But, it is more so about who you know. Tonight I had another showcasey audition thing in front of the newly formed Intrepid Talent Management and Judy Henderson Casting. They were awesome, and I think it went well, but nothing will surface unless I'm immediately useful to them. I have to not only be talented, but fit the part, be available, be liked by producers, and ultimately bend over backwards for anyone who stands in my acting career's way. It shouldn't discern anyone, and I don't think I'm saying anything you don't know, but the only thing that actually matters 110% in this business is persistence. Let's remember, everyone, that Dustin Hoffman was in New York 10 years before he'd had anything happen for him.

So, while I move forward... or even sideways is fine... I just have to remember that I do it because I love it and nothing more or nothing less. Life is too short to be doing something you don't love. And, any of you actors who are doing well and don't like what you're doing... thank you very much for stealing our jobs- lol. Thank god for graphic design- I'm fortunate enough to love a couple things that I'm talented at, that I can fall back on. Different from acting, but creative just the same.
