Audition: Gerber @ Craig Colvin

My 100th post.

So, I'm breaking the "young dad" barrier now. The audition itself was a quick one liner, but funny. You know the type...dad gets into a little trouble when he's on duty.

Craig Colvin is, as you may remember, the casting director who called me in for the AAMCO spot when I was an unrepresented rookie who had only been here a couple months. He also referred me to my agents at KSA. He wasn't running the session, but did take the photos. We exchanged hellos and he told me that Alicia (at KSA) had called him to pitch me. It's great to know your agents believe in you and actively help with the marketing. I hope to hit a stride soon and get the money train rolling for all of us. I'll keep making the rounds for drop-offs and postcards, keeping my skills sharp with class and make it happen.

After the audition, I stopped by the front desk to say "Goodbye" to Craig when I saw a former classmate of mine at Lesly Kahn's place working the phone. Small world. All three of us swapped a few war stories about the business, and Craig's stories about the complexities of working with agents, ad agencies, the ad clients, etc. was very enlightening. That's a tough job with a lot of crazy people!
