So, instead of backdating a bunch of stuff, here's a quick rundown of highlights.
September 2010 -
1. shot commercial for Breve International Delight Coffee Creamer. Had a blast. We got to improvise some extra stuff that they ended up wanting to use for online purposes. I still haven't seen any of it! If you find it somewhere, let me know.
2. On the hottest day in the LA universe, I worked on "Men of a Certain Age" in Burbank. Holy smokes it was a firestorm. It was at least 113 and brutal. While there, I was talking to a friend about my meeting back in May with Bob Lambert at All My Children. Five minutes after I told her I needed to send him a note to say "Hello", guess who called my cell? Yes! So cool when that stuff happens. He had a cop for me shooting in about 2 weeks. Great, albeit sweaty, day. The next day, I booked an HBO commercial.
October 2010
1. Shot the episode of AMC. Was a quick hitter, all pro, book 'em and leave 'em kind of thing. My scene partner was a nice fellow. Hope to get some work on the show again. I like playing the cop. Would love to book "Southland," an excellent show that found a good home on TNT.
2. Shot a commercial for HBO's Entourage DVD series. This was a holiday themed bit. And my "wife" in the spot had all the really hard work. She did a phenomenal job. Another laid back set, very smooth shoot and the spot turned out great. Yahoo named the slate of spots one of the 10 best commercial campaigns of 2010.
3. Had a meeting with the good people over at the Jimmy Kimmel Show. Something will come of that, though it hasn't quite worked out just yet.
November and December 2010 were full of auditions and callbacks. It was a busy run up to the holiday break there. My buddy and I also brewed our first batch of beer, an IPA. It was a good time. It's so much about sanitizing the equipment. Otherwise, you see two dudes boiling water and throwing something in every now and again. The beer took a total of about 5 weeks to finish up, but the "PFSSST!" we got from popping the top off the first bottle was very satisfying!
December was also the joy of visiting family and friends back in the South. We were busy with lots of running around, last minute shopping, a Jackpie show, etc.
January 2011 was surprisingly slow for me. I set up an appointment for new headshots, which I am not always excited about. However, I try to pick photographers whose work catches my critical eye. It's a good investment and I'm due for it. The shoot happens this week (March). In February, I had a couple of avails (my favorite!) that didn't end up as jobs. What can you do? The last couple of weeks have been jam packed with auditions and callbacks. I'm expecting to book something soon. I'm also expecting my son to be born at any time now. Didn't I mention that? A lot happens in 9 months.
