Hey Actor Types!

Ahh...that rant down there actually felt good. I'm tickled pink...

While I'm at it, I'm going to plug my book. If you are an aspiring actor, you should read it.

It's good.

Ok, so ad copy isn't my strong suit, but knowing what an actor has to do on set is! Look, I know that trying to 'make it' in Hollywood as an actor is trying at best. I know from watching many of my friends struggle around town that it's a frustrating experience trying to sort through everything.

But, far too often I watch them get caught up in stuff like their headshots or trying to find and agent and all the while they don't even have a clue as to what the JOB is all about! It's understandable, because there isn't anyway to learn the job without doing it! So, they all toil away at things that feel like they're doing something, but in reality they're just spinning their wheels.

Me personally, I find it a bit depressing...

So, I wrote a book. If you want to know what the job of the professional actor is really all about, check it out. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Anyway, enough of that crap...I'ma go make a sandwich.
