Letting Life Happen


Production still from the feature film The Holiday due out in theaters this Christmas! :-)


It's funny how if you just let life happen, things will fall in your path which you never expected.

That seems to be the theme of my new film The Holiday - and of my life. The people I have met and come across on my journey in this town and industry have been an interesting lot - but they have all brought something special and significant to my learning experience. It never fails. And it always seems to happen when you least expect it. Everyone has a different story. A different history. And different past. But sometimes we are all in the same boat when it comes to passion or dreams.

I finally have another audition. It's been SO dead for me lately! But then again, it's been dead for everyone I suppose! I am auditioning for an Eddie Murphy feature film on Tuesday called Norbit. It looks like a fun scene so I'm looking forward to it. The role is a beautician and the scene will be ad-libbed. Wish me luck!

In other cool news....I saw the Vince Vaughn/Jennifer Aniston flick The Break Up this evening. Nice movie - BUT in the previews...I saw The Holiday! That's the film I just wrapped which will be out this Christmas! I was so excited to see the trailer! It looks AWESOME!!! YAY!!!! That definately lifted my spirits! :-) (click the link to view the trailer)

Have you thought about/investigated getting a publicist for Holiday? I hear they like a 6 month lead time...

the one I will be working with will be hired in August. It will be a four month deal - maybe 5. :-) But in all honesty, I have no idea just how much of ME will end up in the film!

Proud Agent

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, and off. Another proud moment this past wee

And the JOURNEY Continues...

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, and they welcome

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 not everyone who
