An Actor's Journey    
 
  What does it mean to be an actor? How do actors do what they do? How do they deal with the frustrations and rejections? This is the story of my personal experiences in Los Angeles. Along the way I'll share what I've learned.

Still Here

Well, contrary to popular belief (and perhaps some hopes), I have not dropped off the face of the Earth. I am alive and well in Hollywood -- well, as close as one can get. I've been busy with family, auditions and non-acting work. Nothing too incredible, just life keeping me busy.

In terms of acting, I've decided to take a break from one of my coaches for a little while. The time I've spent with her has been invaluable but I need to shake things up a bit. I want to brush up on my cold-reading skills so I'm starting a new auditioning class. I've previewed it already and can tell it will be an invaluable experience.

I'm continuing my online submissions (not hard to push a button or two) as well as beefing up my in-person headshot submissions -- dropping off photos on a regular basis and following up with postcards. I've done this in the past but want to do even more.

If you're not getting where you want to go in this business, you gotta try different things and redouble your efforts. And keep doing it over and over again. "There's no business like show business...like no business I know..."

Hey,

Glad to see you are still cracking that acting whip. Let us know what the audition class is like when you get rolling. Best of Luck!

I was wondering if you had been abducted by aliens, or something. Good to see you back.

I know how it is, though. I'm getting ready to start a class next week, and getting my butt out to auditions.

yeah!!, your back. I was running out of new content to read. I actually had to jump over to Don Foley's website and read what was over there. Luckily he and I have some of the same obsessions. We both like Star Trek. : )

Try not to stay gone so long.

Thanks guys. Nice to hear from you.

Marsha, I've been a Trekker for a long time myself -- though I prefer the earlier material over the most recent.

I was recently reading foxnews and ran across a star trek website that I never knew was out there. I think you might like it. It's called startrekthenewvoyages.com

The people from this site filmed their own star trek episodes.

I actually met James Cawley (who plays Kirk and produces them) by chance one day here in LA. I've seen parts of the episodes and they've done a nice job of reproducing classic Trek.
