Callback: Kingsford

And another callback. This keeps my callback ratio pretty strong. Now, I just need to book. Again, I had a scene partner who wasn't listening to direction. This one didn't even register which role he was supposed to be playing until we'd already done the thing 5 times. Crazy.

Audition: Kingsford Charcoal; Craig Colvin

Another audition for Craig Colvin. He's been so great about bringing me in ever since the AAMCO job. The audition was for Kingsford, and basically involved two characters grilling. I won't give away the spot. I'm not sure I completely fit the physical mold they seemed to be looking for, but as always, we'll see.

I got a small role in the student film I auditioned for in Pasadena. Sometimes, I think it's better to get the small roles in these. It means you still get copy for your reel, but you're not looking at multiple days of shooting.

Audition: Student Film; Other: Readings

This morning, I went to Cedering Fox's house to help in the workshopping/assembling of love letters for a Word Theatre production. It was great fun. The letters range from flowery French poetry to email rants. The earlier letters (mid-20th Century and before) stand in sharp contrast to the more modern letters/emails in terms of language use. I wonder how much of our vocabulary is slowly (or quickly) eroding to be lost to us forever at some distant point in time.

Immediately following that session in Santa Monica, I trekked all the way up and East to Pasadena for the student film audition. Honestly, I hadn't done much work on the sides for that beforehand. I took some time before I went into the room to let the commute go and jot down some notes for the scene. After the first part, they asked me to read another role which I hadn't looked at beyond reading the script. So, I took a few more minutes out in the hall with that one. The film looks to be a pretty normal, slice-of-life look at the relationship between two brothers and their dad.
