Starting to get busy

Alright, first a re-cap.

For the past week-and-a-half, I've been mostly kicking back and watching "The Wire." Every once in a while, I got out of the house. I saw "The Dark Knight" with my acting coach, Dennis, at an iMax theater; that was excellent. I saw Vicky Christina Barcelona, the new Woody Allen movie, with my manager's former assistant, Nic (Nic showed me around the town the last time I was in L.A. It was good to see him again). I highly recommend Vicky Christina Barcelona; great film.

I attended another one of my acting coach's classes. I was asked to perform in a short, ten-minute play which we'll be doing on Thursday. Tomorrow, I have to go rehearse for it.

Which brings us up to today. Today, I auditioned for two things: The Office, and a spin-off of The Office.

First off: The Office. This wasn't much of an audition, really, but it would still be great to get the part just for the money. This audition was really casual. The people already knew me as well as my manager. I only had to say one line, which consisted of two words. It would probably be no big deal if I told you what my line was, but I'd better not just to be safe. I think it's pretty much assumed that I got it, but I'm waiting for official confirmation. I wouldn't even be on-screen when my character says the line; that's how laid back I was about the audition. Literally, there are only two ways to say the line, and even if I didn't have the brains to say it the right way, I'd still have a 50/50 chance. In short: this part, if I get it, will be a quick, clean, money-making role, even though it's small.

Secondly: The Office Spin-Off.

This one is definitely the more interesting audition. The part I auditioned for was much larger, though I'm not sure if it's a recurring role or not. Still, if I get the part, this would be huge for me. Not only is it the pilot to one of the most anticipated shows, but the series would first air after The Superbowl.

Damn.

In short: I'm really confident about this audition and I'm patiently waiting to hear the results. The people seemed to really like me, and they all laughed at just the right parts as I was reading.

Tomorrow, I have three appointments.

1. An audition for My Name is Earl. This is a big part, but just for one episode. It's what's called the "GUEST LEAD." Wish me luck on that one... I think it's more of a long shot than The Office Spin-Off.

2. A general meeting with NBC casting. The purpose of this meeting will be for NBC casting to meet me and keep me in mind for any future projects.

3. Rehearsal for sketch. This is the sketch I'm doing in class in Thursday.

That's all that's going on right now, and from I've been told, there's more exciting stuff in store for this week.

Stay tuned.

P.S. - Oh yeah, and I also made a video about socks on one of my many free days; it took me about four hours.
