Auditions and Reels and Extras, Oh My!

While the industry is winding down for the holidays, I'm in full pilot-prep mode, determined to hit the ground running as soon things come back to life after the new year. I've garnished my resume with care, organized my headshots, postcards,and such, and just completed an updated theatrical reel. Thanks for taking a look!

I was thrilled to be seen by Valko/Miller Casting last week for a co-star role on Two and a Half Men last week. And while I didn't book this time, just getting in to read for this office was great! I'm asking Santa for more of these types of auditions for Christmas!

To round out the finances before everything goes dark here, I've been picking up some work as a background extra. Recently, I've been on the set for Love Bites (with my dog, Ozzie!), Cougar Town, and Parks and Recreation. Extra work is certainly not glamorous, and there are always a handful of strange characters thinking this is their opportunity to break into the biz. But for most of us, it is a decent days work, an opportunity to network with other extras and a chance to catch up on a favorite novel.

In other news, we have a Xmas tree up for our first holiday together, with just a few choice ornaments so far, but it is going a long way toward putting us all in the spirit, despite the lack of snow. Happy Holidays everyone!
