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? These are some of my personal experiences in Los Angeles and beyond. Along the way I'll share what I've learned.

Keeping Busy Is Better

I got a call the other night regarding my auditions for that upcoming production of Arsenic and Old Lace. The director went another direction with the lead but offered me a smaller, comedic role. Ordinarily I would have accepted it but after some deliberation I decided to pass. The drive is pretty long and I'd have had to majorly rework my plans to accomodate the rehearsal schedule -- dropping out of a class, delay taking some casting director workshops, cancel a short vacation, etc. It would have been nice but the timing was just off. There's also another play that I've been asked to audition for.

In any case, I've had a couple of auditions in the past few days that have kept me busy. One for an indy film and one for a fast food commercial. Either project would be a lot of fun for different reasons and I felt good about both. Keeping my fingers crossed and keeping busy.

I think you made the right decision. You've got to be protective of your time and energy because once you sign on, you've got to commit and follow through. Keep up the great work!
