Quiche Me A Bottle Mr. Jones

I suggest playing the music while you read... But that's just me.

I wasn't going to blog today since I posted over the weekend... But I just have to... It's something that really had me scratching my head. Something that just goes to prove, you never, ever, ever know anything in this career of ours, and maybe never in life either.

A few days ago I posted about two auditions… One I feel like I nailed, truly, a one-take Tommy where the Casting Directors were nothing but complimentary and had no adjustments to give… I might have been the wrong type, but my work was solid… However, the second audition, I… In a word…

STUNK.

Wanna guess which audition resulted in a call from my agent today? Yeah, that one.

They want me to come back to a producer session where they’ll be in the room this time…

Again, I’m not kidding. I wasn’t good. Okay, but enough of that… As a friend just told me on the phone… That’s the past, and I’m done talking about it.

It’s incredibly flattering that I’m getting a second try… Who ever gets that? And if I am able to pull it off, and end up booking the role, having an awesome time shooting it, it’ll be COMPLETELY different than ANYTHING I’ve ever done on TV before.

I can only believe that the director who requested me for the role to begin with, asked them to consider me again, because he believes I can pull it off.

That’s a real positive if that’s what it is.

And maybe with a few days of it in my subconscious, and another two nights, and one day with it… I’ll do much better… Maybe with a coaching tomorrow on it… Maybe… Just maybe…

Or maybe I just need to believe I can pull it off… Something I didn’t at all do before the first audition. Others believe in me… Perhaps I should believe in me too.

"Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
'Cause I wanna be someone who believes"

" We all wanna be big big stars, yeah, but we've got different reasons for that"

"When I look at the television, I wanna see me staring right back at me
We all wanna be big stars, but we don't know why and we don't know how
But when everybody loves me, I'll be just' bout as happy as I could be
Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars."

"Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
'Cause I wanna be someone who believes"

Yes, believe! You'll be fine. You've had enough experience. It' nothing you can't do no matter how different.

Put yourself in those circumstances and just reveal the truth of that part. Nothing to worry about.

Isn't that just the way of this crazy business? Go get em' Tom! I've seen you do so many different characters at the fools, so I know you can do it!
