My sleazy desk clerk character returned for a couple appearances on this week’s episode of The Lying Game. They cut a line where I introduce myself as “Carl” and talk about being a graphic novelist, but the heroine seems to figure it out anyways. For the next two weeks, you can catch me somewhere around the 14:20 and 19:15 marks here.
I don’t usually post about auditions on here, but this one seems mildly noteworthy: my first bonafide Los Angeles TV audition. It was for the Dana Delany procedural BODY OF PROOF and was held in the old animation building at Disney Studios. And yeah, my nerves were pitched a bit past the level that’s useful in these situations, but it went… ok!
On the commercial front, BBR is keeping me on my toes. Sometimes the combination of auditions in a single day feels delightful/absurd. On Wednesday, I went from a 10am audition as Abraham Lincoln to playing a hip young inventor at 11 and a raging infomercial salesman at 2. All in all, I’ve had twenty-something commercial auditions so far, a fair number of callbacks, and a couple of those so-close-I-was-planning-a-celebratory-dinner AVAILS.
We weren’t sure we’d be able to compete with hurricane recovery and election week, but our performances of Dionysus in 69 at New York Live Arts went over like gangbusters. There’s even some chatter about bringing it back for a longer run. Huge thanks to Rude Mechs, NYLA, and everyone who came and joined in the revelry. Here’s a link to Time Out New York’s 5 star review.
