My two main agents are jumping ship. Offered me, so I have a shit-ton to think about.
Worried.

Ummm....something like that...

Got called back for that short today, so I'll try to nab a better picture of the canopy.
Edit: Here's one of the new pics. I had another but don't know what happened to it in cyberspace.

This evening marks 8th audition since Tuesday. Without counting callbacks. Which stand at 3. ABC audition went very very well. We shall see.
Edited to add: This was right by where I parked for the audition today. The El Nido Hotel.

A little late for our favorite State Senator, but I hope that the Berfday was a good one. 19 is kinda odd and inbetween things, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
Happy belated birthday!

I agree that the list is disheartening, but to say that she or any other actor is not "committed to the illumination of humanity" is ridiculous. Merely acting....I find that very disrespectful. It is, in my opinion, the purest form of life. It is living, without all the bullshit filters we put up around us constantly. When acting, there is no "wrong" all you can do is deal with what is presented to you. There can be no filters. And when the writing, acting, and crew all line up perfectly....FUCK if that doesn't move us then nothing does.
This isn't even about her anymore in my mind. I can't defend her use of her wealth. I can defend the wealth though. Um, sorta. It's not that different from the ol' "why don't teachers make as much as professional athletes" argument. The money isn't fucking there for teachers. No one buys season passes, parking, merch, concessions etc etc etc for teachers. People forget that a lot of the higher ups behind the scenes for a movie get about just as much money as the actors. The money is there. No one is buying tickets to go see a teacher. And actors like GP here that have staying power are absurdly rare. Look at how many flash-in-the-pans there are. Look back seven years at who was "hot" and see how many still are. And most actors at that level have put in and continue to put in massive amount of time and work. They are rare, and rarity gets paid. Is the pay too high? We could argue all day, and there certainly is a part of me that thinks yes, it is. But you never know which project could be your last. Stars fade, get paid while you can for doing what you love.
Let's not be fucking stupid. As an aspiring actor who is JUST NOW sniffing the outer rings of some real work and recognition I can say that I've busted my ass to get here. And yes, the money would be fantastic. No shit, I think anyone would enjoy more financial wiggle room. Am I achieving great art while I try to sling some horseshit while at a commercial audition? Of course I'm not. But it's a damn foot in the door! And heaven forbid I make rent doing WHAT I LOVE. And yea, for every wonderful movie (or "film" as some fucknuts might say) there's another 10 Smurfs and Hop and all that BS. I get it. I'm, in it. I see it every fucking day. For every truly beautiful play that gets turned into a movie a la Proof or Talk Radio there's 1000 more out there that don't. It's NOT all bullshit out there.
"Merely acting"....tell that to your Tron avatars.

Shee, you should do what one of my neighbors did. They took the fish out of the water and tried to teach it to be a good fish. She would say 'Fishie in the water, fishie out of the water! If you stay a bad fish, you'll stay out of the water!'
... then again that neighbor was insane.
... and got locked up in an insane place.
... on second thought don't do that.
Shee? I'm not him! Haha.
Glad I wasn't the only who caught that. Initial reaction was "But...I have no fish..."
Best of luck with ze feesh.

Another breakthrough in class. Another bound forward. After BOMBING (just an open mic thankfully) for the first time in a while too. Not that long ago the entire day would've been shot. Not now. Wonderful learning experience.
Steps.
Progress.
Joy.
Return Of The Don.
8/7.

@Faust
when shit literally pops out of the screen at me I wanna just scream and punch the air. Which actually happens frequently. Somewhat along the same lines as a youtbue video taking forever to load after the ad was lightning quick.
