good-byes are hard

So my Twitter bud and fellow Actor @MikeCapozzi forwarded me devastating news about the demise of my favorite website Killthedoor.com.

You may remember that I did an entire post on how fabulous this Actor-friendly site “is” or now I should say “was”. It was like an inside source with casting news, inside info, great advice and resources for Actors yada yada. Apparently it was a little too inside and became a conflict of interests. Boo hoo!

So since, Killthedoor.com and @killthedoor have been ahem, “killed”, I’ve decided to share this little vid with everyone, to watch in absence of a memorial service (you can wear black when you watch it, if you want.) Read the rest of this entry »

I was reminded the other day when I was tweeting @MikeCapozzi that the reason I love doing COMEDY is because I know if it’s working or not. No need to wait for feedback from the Casting Director. It becomes obvious. Like immediately.

Because in Comedy Auditions, you either get the laugh or you don’t. Even if the CD and producers have heard the line a million times before, if you deliver it right, they can’t hold the laugh in. And, the good thing about knowing is —  if it’s not working —  you can sometimes make quick adjustments and pull it out in time. Read the rest of this entry »

I couldn’t write about this till now, because it freaked me out so much when it happened. Even now I think about it every time I sit down to eat.

It starts out like a typical ER Saturday Afternoon Shift

• nightmare waiting room
• all beds are filled
• labs are piling up

In Trauma, Bed 8, this pretty New York Model (you know I can’t say who) is really having a tough time of it. She’s been there for 14 hours with what she thinks is Acid Reflux (because she can’t keep anything down, not even a sip of water). She’s all nervous, because she’s got a wardrobe fitting scheduled in a few hours for a huge commercial, due to shoot Monday. Read the rest of this entry »

Identity Crisis

Yesterday  when I was walking back to my car from the two hour spin/pilates portion of my day, a Hollywood tour bus passed me and the guide said into the microphone: Read the rest of this entry »

Why do we feel safe with KNOWNS when there’s often greater possibility with UNKNOWNS?

“Conundrumly-speaking,” why is it human nature to–

Working in the ER is a little like working in Washington – Read the rest of this entry »

Okay, so it’s another Monday morning and since I don’t have an Acting job right now (or any job, sadly) I just called Charlayne and told her I’d be okay with “volunteering” to be a “Floater.” A Floater is someone who gets called in when a regular Volunteer has something going on in his/her life and since I don’t have much going on —

I’ll Float For Now —

When I can–

I’m already having second thoughts though–
