Stand-in. We’ve all heard the term. They stand-in for the actors, right. It’s right there in the name. How hard can that be? You just stand there, right?
Sort of.
I always thought stand-ins stood in place, so that the light and camera guys could focus the lights and the cameras. And ... Comment - Like

Sometimes things come out of the blue. Sometimes that’s a good thing, sometimes not. Luckily the call I got last week was of the good variety. The phone rang at 5:30 on a Friday evening. I had a voicemail from background casting for the new NBC series Grimm. They were looking for a stand-i... Comment - Like

I haven’t posted in over a year. It’s not that I’ve not been doing things, it’s just that I’ve not felt it was interesting enough to write about. Or maybe it is, but I’m just lazy.
In either case, I’m recommitting to the acting blog as a way to motivate me to get back up and ride ... Comment - Like

So I’ve been a little remiss in my blog updating, mostly because not much has been happening on the acting front these days, that is until recently. Nothing super exciting, I haven’t gotten any great acting gigs, but at least these things are acting related and will hopefully further my career... Comment - Like

So I got the pharmaceutical photo shoot gig, or I should say my girlfriend and I got it. I think they liked her best, and I got picked up since we were a couple, but I will take whatever I can get. The job pays, and pays well.
We got and email from Michael Bini, the producer at On Request Image... Comment - Like

So I had my first casting call today. Not for a film, not for a play, but for a photo shoot for print and web media for an unnamed pharmaceutical company.
I saw the audition notice and saw that I fit one of the categories of people they were looking for. Now that I actually have my headshots, I... Comment - Like

So things are warming up a little in the acting world. Revving back up after taking some downtime after the Meisner class at Freehold. I’ve gotten my headshots, I’ve gotten a part in a short film that a fellow Meisnerite is doing, and I’m working on a project with another fellow Meisner cl... Comment - Like

Been on a bit of a hiatus. Finished the Meisner program at Freehold Theatre, and boy did I need a break. That was a tough run, but good. That which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger sort of thing.
This will be a short post since there isn’t much going on at the moment. I have an appoi... Comment - Like

So it’s over. Last night was the final class of the Meisner progression that I have been taking for the last nine months at Freehold. I have spent the last three years taking acting classes at Freehold Theater. It has been a wonderful, terrifying, exciting, hard, frustrating, magical, roller... Comment - Like

So we are less than two weeks away from the big final performance of our scene. I feel as if we are doing as much work as we would for a whole play as we are doing for this ten minute scene. We are doing a scene from Edward Albee’s The Marriage Play. In the section we picked to do there is a... Comment - Like

Since I’ve been doing rather badly on my auditions lately, I decided to take Jodi Rothfield’s Auditioning for the Camera class. I’m glad I did.
Jodi Rothfield is as highly respected casting agent in Seattle. I’d been wanting to take her class for a long time. She was endorsed by one of ... Comment - Like

So you wanna be in pictures? Well, I finally got my chance yesterday as I started out on the bottom rung of the acting ladder. Yes, I had my first paying gig as an Extra.
I answered a posting from Foreground Background looking for extras for a film to be shot in Washington state under the worki... Comment - Like

It’s been a while since the last post. There hasn’t been too much to report…until now. A month and a half ago I did an audition for an independent short. It was down in Olympia, which is an hour and a half away, but I figured beggars can’t be choosers, and I’ll take whatever part I c... Comment - Like
