It’s Friday and I’m going to Lac Brome this weekend (Sutton actually). So be ready for the possibility there will be no blogs until Tuesday. I know, you are just as sad as I am. Hopefully this weekend will provide some time to reflect on what I’m doing and how I can do this better. I have joined the Twitter nation, which I never thought I would do. I must say, I actually enjoy it. If you want to be amused, follow Simon Pegg. He’s just a down to earth, funny guy. But back to my point. I know there is a lot of luck in making it as an actor but how do I improve my chances?
I was watching some movies this past week. Saw Source Code, Little Red Riding Hood and Lincoln Lawyer. In all three of those movies I saw roles I thought I could play better. I’m not saying I should have been the star because I respect all the leads in those films, but I just saw things that I would have done different that would have made that character more interesting and brought a different vibe to each film.
Funny enough since I started writing this blog I have really been focusing on what I need to do. I shaved my legs and chest and got a Brazilian wax….then I started thinking about what I need to do to make it! 😉
This world is a glorious place and sometimes there are pitfalls in your life which bring you down. I know I am having some right now. But always remember there are good times and good people out there to lean on. It can also be extremely discouraging trying to be an actor. Those of you out there who are similar souls know what I mean. Sometimes you watch a movie with terrible acting and you can’t help but ask yourself what the f*&^?? How can this bum be getting paid to make this drivel? Guess maybe we should try to make our own drivel and take a page out of Luke Wilson and Owen Wilson’s books. I’m not going to tell you how they made. That’s homework for the long weekend.
Have a great long weekend all of you. See you on the other side of Labour day.
