...my first BIG one...

Some of you know that I recently booked my first role on national t.v. I got a call from a casting director I had met with about a month ago for what we call a general (where you just meet with them and give a general audition so they know what to call you in for in the future). They said they had a part "that would be a stretch for me," a waiter. So I went in on a Wed and auditioned and a few hours later I got a call from them and said I'd booked it!

I was very excited.

So I showed up to set Friday and they showed me to my room (awesome, right?) and then went down to wardrobe to get my outfit, they steamed it and hung it in my room and I was pretty free to eat the food and snacks and stuff. They trimmed my hair and put me in make up and then I pretty much waited for a few hours and stayed on set and got to watch rehearsal for a few scenes and it was awesome.

Then they shot my scene. It was with Vivica A. Fox:

And J.B. Smoove:


So it was very cool to work with both of them. And it was a nice boost to my confidence because I feel like I handled myself pretty well on set, even with five cameras pointed at me and working with Fox(xy) and Smoove I stayed pretty calm and just did what I needed to do.

I'm very hopeful that this will lead to some other opportunities and have begun pin pointing other casting directors to try to keep this momentum up.

I will be sure to let you know when the episode airs but it will be near Thanksgiving because J.B. was going to the airport to go to Vegas for Thanksgiving.

Anyway, it was very exciting. It was only a few lines but it's the beginning, folks, the beginning.
