Hm. That’s an Interesting One

Did a little blog-reading prior to starting this all-nighter of rockstar actor-interview transcription (BTW, early feedback is AH. MAY. ZING.) and came across this quickie…

…from the greatness of Jodi (congrats on the last day of the job, cutie).
Fun.
Oh, and is it insulting to offer a one-line role to an actor who was up for the lead in the film you just cast? This one-liner would be in the same film and the actor would have to act with the one who got the role that actor was up for. Too much? Need to go with a non-contender? Or is this like, “It’s just an honor to be nominated,” territory?

    I love you.I also love the Mac goodness that is your computer. I’m still craving that sleek geekdom, and hope to someday have a little Mac Mini with a huge 30″ flat panel panoramic monitor (*drool*). I love the wallpaper on your desktop, too.Sometimes when I post my screenshots, people ask me if I have a Mac. I will typically force my WindowsXP to look like a Mac whenever and however possible (although I still need to look into ObjectDock).As for that little acting question (like I have any clue): personally, I would think it’s an honor to be considered for any part, but that’s me. I say go for it and offer that person the part, even if it is small.

    I’d see it this way; “At least they liked me enough to hire me for something. Maybe they’ll hire me for something bigger on their next project.” But, then again, I’m an optimist.

    hell, I’d take the one-liner. Maybe it will lead to more work in the future.

    I would take it as a great compliment… it would tell me that the casting director had high enough regard for my performance that even though I may not have gotten the lead role, they wanted me to BE in the project regardless.

    If it’s just a one-liner, he/she gets the benefit of not having tons of lines and a huge schedule to worry about, leaving him/her able to pursue larger projects and other auditions, but also the joy of still having a role in your project. (At least, that’s how I would see it if I were in that person’s shoes).
