My audition yesterday went really well. I read the scene once and then the director gave me an adjustment and I did it again. He said that I did well and asked me if I had any questions. I would really like to work on the film, as the character is someone who I can relate to and the project seems like it would be a lot of fun.
Last night I went to the largest remaining drive-in movie theater in the country, which is located in East LA with an SUV full of my roommates and friends. We saw 'The Simpsons Movie', 'Transformers' and 'I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry'. They were all good movies. That drive-in is a great deal because it is $7.50 per person in the the car and they encourage you to stay for 3 movies! Also, they have a concessions stand but you are also permitted to bring your own snacks/drinks!

Not So Glamorous
A good friend of mine was involved in a serious accident on the set of "The Unit" yesterday. The scene involved broken candy glass and the firing of blanks from hand guns. During one of the takes, when the gun was fired the blank exploded and he got shot in the hand.
He said that he felt a sharp pain in his hand, which was fortunately covering his head, and when he brought his hand down to look at it, it was gushing blood in 3 places. He called for the set medic who helped slow the bleeding and advised him to get his hand x-ray ed to make sure there was not a piece of the shattered brass casing inside.
Sure enough, the x-ray showed that he had a C-shaped object embedded in his hand. He got a shot and has to have surgery tomorrow or Friday to have it removed!
The moral of the story is that just because someone tells you something is safe, still take precautions to protect yourself.

Still no word. . .
I am still waiting to hear back from two people about potential opportunities. In my opinion, that is the hardest part of this business. You have something big that may happen, but you don't want to talk about it in case it doesn't. Secretly you hope it does and while the hoping is fun, the waiting drives me crazy!
While waiting, yesterday I had lunch with my friend Athena, who I worked with on a film for the Hallmark Channel. It was really nice to see her, as we haven't worked together in awhile.
As I was leaving, my friend Sean Finn from when I went to Randolph High School called to see what I was up to because he just moved to LA and is working at becoming a music producer. We went and got things for his new apartment and then looked at pictures from his trip across the country.
I wonder which of my friends will be next to move to Los Angeles...

Busy Week
I have a lot of stuff going on this week; an audition for an independent film that I submitted myself for, a training seminar, acting class, and I am supposed to hear back about two things that would be potentially HUGE for my career. Keep your fingers crossed for me and as they come to be definite opportunities, I will post more details!
Day Off
Yesterday was a "play day" for me. My friend Justin, who I used to work with in NYC, moved to Las Vegas about the same time I moved to Los Angeles. He was in Orange County yesterday for a ballroom dancing competition so I went down there to watch. It was so amazing to watch him compete. The dancers were all so good. It was like watching the movie"Take the Lead," but for real.
In the lobby there were tons of dance costumes for sale along with jewelry and shoes for the competitors to buy. Let me just say that those outfits and accessories are NOT cheap!
He had some free time throughout the day so we hung out by the pool at the hotel where the competition was and we went to lunch and played cards. It was a really nice, relaxing day.
