The Disenchantment of Hollywood
I am currently going through a period of SERIOUS disenchantment with Hollywood. I have been released by MZA, because, accorduing to Michael Zanuck, we had not reached a point that he was happy with in our professional relationship. I'm not upset with him, because if truth be told in this situation, I was already thinking about doing a similar action against him myself. I feel as though I was systematically being sent on auditions that I was not right for in the first place. Things like a Mexican gangster, a little person, a homeless Russell Brand - type (Isn't that a bit repetitious). Anyway, one can easily see where I was being placed in a situation for failure, by these auditions. Whatever, I was a bit disapointed that I wasn't successful in any of them. My major bitch came though with the open call for Tarantino's western, Django Unchained, I pleaded with MZA to please do ssomething to get me in there, and yet my pleas went unanswered. I was perfect for the film, I can ride and I have shot period weapons, something that is exceedingly rare amongest my peers. Apart from that I can do a Southern (LA. or AL/FLA Panhandle) accent. I actually need to see if there still remains a connection with DL White for representation as well as find someone new before pilot season kicks in full bore this summer. I have sent a press pack to Baron Entertainment, we'll see.

Architecture
I've been on an architecture kick here recently. I'm really digging on the geometric shapes in a residential context. I have also began a fondness for a Southwestern/mission - style of building. My father lives in Tularosa New Mexico and everything there is in a Pubelo style. At first look it is a bit unsettling, but the way the buildings are constructed only adds to their appeal (Well the newer style that is). They are great for energy savings, and quite spacious. As a boy living in New Orleans and Upstate New York, these buildings seemed so exotic. My dream would be to design and build my own house
Day Shoot
I got a call from Central asking if I would be interested in doing a dayshoot on the 20th. The shoot is for a canceled TV show called Breaking In, its on FOX and features Meghan Mullaly (who worked on Last Resort with me many, many moons ago in Catalina), and Christian Slater. This is the last day of filming for the entire show and its going to be interesting how this is going to play out.
I am working at Sony Studios in Culver City, which will be a new one for me, as well as working a pre-exsisting AFTRA contract. I've been out of the loop long enough, that I have no idea what this even means, but I suppose that in about 5 hours I will find out. I will be working in a mock up of the infamous Star Wars cantina scene. I am to dress in dark, menacing clothes (like that's gonna be a problem). Leather jackets, they said, if you have them, "would be good." My call is at 4 so this will be a late night. We'll have to see what we can do, I wish I had a decent camera.
