The musings of a working actor.

Once again without a Friday night gig. I'll soon be taking a mortgage out on a split-level cardboard box.

January 22.

Just got word that ANOTHER Friday night show was cancelled.

Frickin' economy.

Trying to get another background gig, but no avail. NYCasting online allows you to self submit. I have my own personal account with NYCasting online, and one that was set up by Central Casting. If I submit myself on a project being cast by Central Casting, they use the photo of me they have in their database. My personal account uses my uploaded professional headshot.

My online photo at Central Casting in NY was a digital snap they took the day I went to their offices and registered with them.

It was hot. It was summer. I didn't dress appropriately, as I figured they'd just take my headshot. I was wrong.

Let's compare, shall we?

Here's my headshot:

Here's what they took at Central Casting:

Oh yeah. I've got a chance of gettin' hired this week.

I've already made plans with an actor friend to re-visit Central Casting this Wednesday and update our digital photos.

Guess what I'll be wearing.

One little comment I have to make here. I was all excited to hear that The Electric Company was being revived by PBS. It was always one of my favorite shows growing up, and I still know half the songs by heart.

I took a look at the new one which premiered today.

It's NOTHING like the show I grew up with. I watched a little further, and this is my personal opinion:
