Have Play, Will Audition...

Today I auditioned for "We Have Separation" Spencer Driggers's "hip-hop infused tale of amnesia, adultery and space travel". Sounds like something right up my alley.

The premise, as far as I have been made aware, is the story of a guy Roy who wakes up in a hotel room with amnesia and complete loss of his faculties. His only links to the world and who he is are through telephone conversations with his wife, his mistress and his sister. I read for the part of Judy, the wife. The audition was quick and I think I did well. I will know more early next week if I get a call back.

Should not be too much of a stretch for the girl as I play a wife in real life. More news to follow.

Yeah Folks, I'm Gonna be on a Show about Football

Well it took a while but I finally got myself in as an extra on Texas's very own Friday Night Lights!!! The call time came early this morning at 6:30am in San Marcos and you would think the entire population of Texas State had turned out for the affair. But hey how can you beat free breakfast, lunch and paid extras work? You really can't, don't bother trying.

Filming was for scenes from the upcoming season 1 finale, supposedly taking place during cold weather meaning we had to show dressed in winter clothing. The scenes took a fair amount of acting due to the fact that we shot outside all day in lovely 70 degree weather wearing sweaters and overcoats. The season finale revolves around the state football championship for the Dillon, Texas Panthers so there was a lot of pom pom waiving and lots (and lots, and lots, and lots...) of yelling and cheering. My throat is going to take a few days to recover.

Along with getting the opportunity to be on an episode of a television series I also got to meet some groovy people. Shout out to Collin in Cedar Park and his Dad. "You guys were awesome and it was nice talking to you. Keep acting and perhaps we will see each other at another shoot."

So what is next in the acting future of The Girl? So glad you asked. As I am currently unemployed I will continue to pick up extras work until a more formidable form of employment comes along. And in the mean time I will be auditioning this Saturday for the Get Along Gang Performance Group's production of Spencer Driggers's We Have Separation.
