Friday, I got an audition notice from one of the online casting resources I use scheduled for Sunday (today). I haven't had many from this particular site, so I'm not quite as familiar with the functions and layout as I am with the other sites. Somehow, in reading the parking instructions and reviewing my submission history, I got it in my head that I was auditioning for "Life" which is a new show that Josh is working on. The role I submitted for was only 2 lines. It was funny and weird, and I didn't want to overcook it. We did rent the NBC Fall Preview DVD to watch the pilot episode. This morning, I worked until 12, got home to go over the other characters' sides to get a feel for the show. The character description for my role was in one of the other character's sides. "Bald with a big beard..." Uh-oh. I quickly double-checked the audition notice and my submissions and discovered that there was in fact a short film I submitted for called "Life's Chronicles". I subsequently retrieved the sides for that...6 pages...with only 30 minutes before I had to leave to get there. Yikes. I got to work and got comfortable quickly, went to the audition, got the callback for the same afternoon. The callbacks went well too. I feel good about delivering another good showing with a new casting director. Melanie, the associate on this project, is also an associate on ER.
Right after the callbacks, we had some people over for a cookout to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday. I got ice cream cake! Haven't had one of those in a while. He's out here for a week, and we're seeing some sights like The Getty Museum, doing some hikes, etc.
