Off the grid

(heavy sigh)

Back in the doldrums again ... but only temporarily. In reference to my most recent posting about the print ad procurement ... well ... no sooner had I snagged it (which would have been a great victory for overweight fella's everywhere,) then I got a call from my talent agency saying that I had LOST it! Not because they went a different route (I.E. using another overweight guy) but by simply scrapping the project. ARRRGGGGHHHH!

So ... I have SOME things to do, but basically I am going off the grid, so to speak, until the summer starts. I am taking a class on acting in front of the camera at the Purple Rose, and am still being sent out on auditions.

In my copious free time, I need to explore the other talent agencies in the area as well, just to see who is willing to send me out on things. And ... depending on how upcoming michigan auditions go, it may be time to pack up and head elsewhere.

I am employed for the summer, THANK GOD! I'll be spending my 15th summer in Holland, MI at the Hope Summer Repertory Theatre, taking on the roles of General Harrison Howell in Kiss Me Kate, and Froggy in The Foreigner. And things are looking favorable for the filming of more episodes of Come On Over, the children's TV show in which I portray the antagonist-of-sorts, the curmudgeonly next-door-neighbor, Mr. Flabbinjaw.





... and the main character's housecat.
