Opah!

Greetings from Greece! ...okaaay, greetings from Burbank, California.



I worked on the set of CSI NY again last week, this time as a European tourist. The set was located on the Universal lot. We were shuttled down a few miles and once we got off the bus, you couldn't tell we were still in Cali...the entire outside area was recreated to look like a small city in Greece, and I am not talking about 1 or 2 blocks, try several blocks! Walking the cobblestone roads, I came upon a fairly large church with impressive Grecian columns, several restaurants, gift shops, coffee shops, farmers market, bus station, even the alley ways had clothes hanging to dry between buildings, the attention to detail was very impressive.

I even got to see an Audi car chase down the cobblestone side streets, I mean...come on...now THAT's European! :)



Props dept. had given me a really nice camera, so I was able to play photographer for the better part of the day. At one point they paired me with another gal who I found out used to be a hood ornament for 'Lowrider' magazine (aka - a model), so I had her jump on a Vespa and proceed to work her magic for the camera. It's the little things that help get you through the day.




In other news, I had a couple auditions last Saturday, and just received notice that I landed one of them! It's a short film being submitted to festivals this year, called Shades of Gray. It's a film noir piece, about two life long friends who go down separate paths, well sorta...one a crooked cop, and one in the mafia. You get the idea.

(pinching/shaking fingers, lips in a frown) I play da mafioso.

Should be a fun script to work on, and definitely a good piece for my reel!

We begin rehearsing tomorrow morning, and filming begins on Friday. In the middle of writing this post, I received word that I will also be working on the show 'Entourage' on Thursday, but it's a night call...booo!! This means, I will be pulling an all-nighter, and driving straight down to the shoot in Orange County on Friday morning, film for 12 hours, and be back in Hollywood in time for my show on stage at 7pm!...(pause for breath)...well, it's why I am here, right?

Let the other actors sleep.
