I nailed this callback. I got the laughter immediately in the room, and they'd already seen it done 6 other times by my predecessors. After my first take, someone threw in the comment, "Check the gate," which, on a set, basically means we're done. The director redirected me twice more, solid laughter each time, and I was out of there. On the way back home, my agents called with the avail notice. I'm ready to break the avail cycle and shoot this thing in Houston next week. Pre-audition was interesting. I read the new copy and had a strong instinct for the vibe they wanted. There were some notes from the session runner that were a little contrary to what I was feeling. Sometimes, you have to just go with your gut. So, I decided I would go in with my instinctual read anyway, and let them adjust me if they felt it necessary. Before I even began, the director mentioned that I should feel free to let it fly a little bit and get bigger if I felt it. Precisely my instinct. It was nice to know that I was on track already.
My buddies met me over at our new apartment to help me move a fridge from another apartment in the complex into our place. That thing was a beast. It was the first time I've seen the apartment since we first viewed it. There's new carpet, new countertops, a new sink, and the cleaning crew is coming Saturday. I think we'll try to get our stuff shifted over next week sometime, pending the utility switcheroo.
