It's funny to me how my life literally revolves around my phone. I have been out pursuing acting work now for a few years in both Chicago and now LA. Now more than ever, it seems life can turn on a dime the second the phone rings. One minute you are going to the gym, the next you're rescheduling an entire afternoon to audition for the role of Darth Maul at Disneyland (true story).
Today was one of those days. I got a call to come down to Santa Monica to record lines for a commercial for Shout I did. It was last minute and ended up not happening. None the less, it was a brush of the excitement that happens as an actor. You are just perpetually waiting for THAT call. The one that will kick it all off for you. Or in the least, help you pay rent this month.
I am grateful though. Via technology, I am not bound to my house waiting by the phone. I am free to move about the cabin, if you will. I can carry on my tasks as a struggling actor with the promise just a grab away. Call me... I am always here for you.
