Set your Tivos!

Sooo...things are slowly moving forward for me it seems. Last Friday I registered with a talent management agency specializing in background work. They had me bring in wardrobe and we did a quick photo shoot, then they went to work submitting my ugly mug to various casting directors around town.

That same night, I received a phone call saying they wanted me for 'The Starter Wife', filming on Monday! I mean, I was confident I would get some work I guess, but was very surprised at how fast I got my first booking.

Anyway, it's been sort of a whirlwind already, as I have been crazy busy with work...the agency has been well worth it so far, they have already paid for themselves with the first 2 jobs I booked.

It's not completely glamourous work, (as I have already found out) but rather than working the stereotypical 'actor jobs' (barista/waiter/bartender/stripper, etc...) this at least has me working in the industry, and gaining experience on camera, and even more importantly...one step closer to becoming union.

For those of you who care, I will keep this blog updated with my experiences on set, and all the crazy shenanigans taking place in Hollyweird, as I see them.

Cheers!
