Wednesday, December 17, 2003 YOU LIKE ME, YOU REALLY LIKE ME...NOT!why would i consciously put myself in a position to be judged, possibly rejected and left with hurt feelings? that's the question i asked myself this morning when i auditioned for a small role on the ABC sitcom IT'S ALL RELATIVE. i reasoned with myself that i needed this part to maintain a certain work quota required to keep my SCREEN ACTORS GUILD medical insurance, but even that kind of rational doesn't make the process any less painful. i got to the PARAMOUNT lot at 10:am and was directed to a building where the production offices are. i signed in and sat in the hallway with 15 other actors, all leafing through the script and memorizing their lines. some of the faces waiting to audition were very familiar to me, including JOHN RUBINSTEIN , who's been working in tv and movies for 36 years and has a TONY award. i wondered if the audition process was as nerve racking for him, even with such a successful career under his belt. the idea of living my whole life based on whether or not people like me is quite overwhelmingly stupid and sad, but don't we all do that in some form or fashion? p.s.- i didn't get the part. ...and along comes inspiration in the form of a fan letter: SWEET HEART I'VE BEEN A FAN OF YOURS FOR YEARS BUT LATELY YOUR WEBSITE AND IMAGE HAS BEEN EXTREMELY BORING - YOU CARES TO READ ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE MOVIES,CD'S, ETC ... WHAT'S HAPPENED TO YOU? YOU HAVE BECOME SO TIRED ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE ALL THIS SPARE TIME IN YOUR HANDS - INSTEAD OF REVIEWING ALBUMS AND MOVIES YOU NEED TO RELEASE A NEW ALBUM, RELASE A COOL REMIX AND PERHAPS APPEAR IN A FEW NEWMOVIES, START A ANOTHER SHOW OR AT LEAST MAKE SOME CLUB APPEARANCES ... SOMETHING!!! IT'S TIME TO REINVENT YOURSELF RU! . . | Permalink 2009 RuCo, Inc.—All Rights Reserved |
