Three and Two

in Archive My Hot Bod on May 17, 2004 December 9, 2016

That’s the number of Vicodin (three) and Excedrin (two) that, at once, are too many for my body to handle. Ugh. At least my eye socket stopped throbbing/twitching (it has been doing so pretty much…

Gotta Be Off-Book?

in The Actors Voice on May 17, 2004 August 12, 2025

Electronic Submissions Preferred

in The Actors Voice on May 17, 2004 August 12, 2025

That line, in bold and all-caps, was prominently featured in the breakdown I put out on ActorsAccess.com and to agents and managers through BreakdownServices.com a few weeks ago. There was a reason for that: I…

Happy Birthday, Mom

in Chart Harmony on May 11, 2004 August 17, 2019

Today would’ve been Charlsie’s 71st birthday. It’s so odd to imagine Mom in her 70s… but I guess it’s odd to imagine her in her 20s or 30s too. I only got to know Mom…

Actor with Piercings

in The Actors Voice on May 10, 2004 August 12, 2025

I have some piercings and a small diamond stud on the side of my nose. Should I remove these for an audition? Ah, my answer to this is the ever-popular, “it depends.” Is this audition…

What Is a Referral?

in The Actors Voice on May 10, 2004 August 12, 2025

A Wee Bit Freaked Out

in Archive Showbiz on May 7, 2004 December 9, 2016

Wow, that’s pretty dang cool. I visited my little books on Amazon.com and found that Self-Management for Actors has a sales rank of 8,187 and Casting Qs has a sales rank of 9,145. Now, considering…

*sniffle*

in Archive Showbiz on May 5, 2004 December 9, 2016

I’m so proud, I can’t even stand it… and I know it has nothing to do with me (or, at the most, it has very little to do with me). I just came from the…
