Ok, so the ink isn't even dry on my Acme letter and I have 2 auditions! I got one from a friend of mine at Actorsite, Kimberly Crandall. She invited me to come to callbacks for a K-Swiss commercial that she's casting. It's a non-union spot but it pays which is cool. From what she told me, they are going to shoot like 5 commercials then pick one or two to reshoot for the national run. I also heard that they are very loyal to the actors that work in the non-union spots and use many of them for the national union spot. So, that's cool...the more irons in the fire the better!

The second audition is for a feature fim at Johanna Ray's Casting (Kill Bill V1 & V2, Mullholand Drive, Hollywood Confidental..etc). I'm not sure if I previously wrote about this but here's the story on how I got this audition. I went to a inde film wrap/birthday party as a +1 with a friend of mine about a month ago. The party was at this little club in Hollywood, off Sunset I think. Anyway, we're at this dimly lit club standing around the bar...I'm layin low, cause that's how +1's do it :), when this young, pretty, asian woman approaches me. She asked me if I was an actor and I told her yes. She said I looked SO familiar and she wanted to know what show or commercial she'd seen me on. Of course, I assumed it was FFF so I pretended not to know where she'd seen me...lol. She told me that she was the assistant in Johanna Rey's casting office and that they were doing a feature that she wanted me to submit for. She asked me to send them my headshot and reel. "Cool!", I said. I took my materials to the office the following Tuesday. Now, several weeks later, I've recieved and email asking me to come in and read for one of the lead roles!! Is that right? Am I really reading for one of the leads, or does everyone just read the same sides? Either way, it's cool with me!
