Last Minute Fitting

I got a call yesterday from wardobe saying Nancy wanted to see me in what I was going to wear for shooting on Thursday. So I arrived to the set, which was on location in West Hollywood. I got there around 4:30pm. And I waited...waited... and waited some more. The crew finally broke for lunch and the costumer invited me to have dinner with everyone. So I hung out, ate great catered food, and waited some more. Around 6:45pm I finally got into my wardrobe and was taken to set so Nancy can have final approval. I waited while she directed a scene with kate Winslet and Jack Black. When she was done, she came over to me and had me try on different options. I was finally "wrapped" around 8pm! a 3 1/2 hour wardrobe fitting!!! Crazy! Good thing I get paid for it! :-)
I didn't get a chance to talk to either Kate or Jack...but I did see them work. I noticed they were doing a lot of improv, so maybe that's how Nancy works. Kate looked beautiful. Very down to earth (maybe because she was wearing a sweatshirt!)
I start working today and I plan to taking my camera! I'll be sure to post!

Proud Agent

Image
So...I'm having one of those moments where I am extremely proud of the talent I represent. No really - I have some amazingly talented actors on my roster.   Yes - here in South Texas.  Corpus Christi to be exact.   A city which has NEVER had a talent agency submitting actors for these opportunities! I had the pleasure of seeing the opening night performance of the musical RENT at the University last week.  Three of the leads are with my agency, and the others, I would love to sign on!  The show was SOOOOO freakin good.  I had seen some of these actors in other shows and never knew some of them can sing like that!  And to see my actors, the ones with the agency, push and stretch their acting limits for these roles, it was the coolest thing to witness!  I think because of my background, and knowing the hard work an acting career takes, it makes me a special kind of agent - one who appreciates the work my actors do - on stage, an...

ACTOR: Your Hobby or Profession?

Acting is fun.  And for the most part, those who have been bitten by the acting bug will find a way to ACT.  Whether its in their school's play production, community theatre, independent films, or their own youtube channels.  I have seen a ton of talent in my life.  Both at the small town level, and on Hollywood sets.  And I often wonder about the actor onstage in the local community theatre and wonder what their plans and dreams are...  When I started as an actor, I absolutely loved it.  I couldn't get enough of it, actually.  I would audition for plays back to back, participate in student films whenever I could, and dreamt about the day when I could actually do it for a living.  That was my goal.  To make a living doing what I loved to do - so that "work" wouldn't feel like "work". And so I busted my ass to make it happen.  I was focused on a goal and made sure I achieved it. I'm pretty proud of myself.. But I realized that...

And the JOURNEY Continues...

Image
First of all, let me just say this blog was correctly titled! My journey has been quite an interesting one!  Definitely not "uneventful" - that's for sure... I left LA about 6 1/6 years ago, not knowing why I was leaving a pretty stable acting career in an industry where stable acting careers are hard to find.  I came back home to Texas, not sure what I was looking for, but open to the adventure that was to be found. Three years later, I left Austin and found myself back in my hometown of Corpus Christi Texas, with two kids and a husband.  That was January, 2 years ago.  My initial plan was to open up a casting office in town, and continue casting.  What I found was a city that didn't have much of an entertainment business community.  No talent agencies, no acting schools, aside from high school theatre and the college and university.  That makes casting very difficult. That's when I decided to start teaching.  I found Aurora Arts Theatre,...
