Where is Godot?
Yes, I know that you “get the reference” but it is meant to get your attention. As stated by Walt Whitman, “the powerful play goes on” and none of us can stop Father time. This leads me to urge you to STOP WAITING. What does that mean Kevin? Hell, I don’t know
CD Workshops: Tool or Tragedy?
Alright allow me to be clear about this Blog, because many reading this know my feelings about the “pay to play, paid workshop” concept, but many others do not. I’ve listed it as Tool or Tragedy because so many people will “always argue” that they “got something positive” out of it…and therefore it is a […]
A Breakdown Manager…isn’t a Manager!
Did the title get’cha? Did it make you mad? Did it make you think, shit wait, is that “my manager?” My thought is I kinda hope so, probably and yes…it is more than likely. 🙂 No, I’m not making fun of or laughing at Managers in ANY way. And no, I’m not poking fun at […]
Vine: Cuz I only have 6 seconds!
So I’ll take the assumption you know what vine-videos.com. The question is, what the heck does it have to do with being an actor or the business of acting? I hear ya, but hang with me, and I’ll get to the point. I’m not sure we can cut our brains much shorter but 6 seconds […]

Yeah, so I get that, but my point about silence is that it really is NOT a form of communication and never will be. What silence does, between ALL […]
TasteTest + YouTube = KickMe-GoGo
From sizzle promo video, to show concept to then PLEASE give me money. Ha. Listen, I completely, and absolutely, get the beauty and the wonder of new media funding. Not only does it allow you to utilize friendships, family and other outlets to fund your idea/project but it also allows complete strangers to get behind […]
30-Day Window! (Representation)
So it is officially mid-June…where is your Representation? Since my first year in Los Angeles all I have been doing since that day, I think sometimes, is altering things that people told me where absolutely true…because I’ve learned…they just aren’t. One of those many Hollywood myths is that there are only two times per year […]
Do your Homework
“I want to meet XXX” “I would love to be on XXX show” “It would be great to have a business relationship with xxx” Every here these types of comments from your actor friends? I have. I will traditionally answer the same way. “What do you know about them?” To which, the response is…………(still waiting).
