LA Blog #2

Greetings!

Ok, so it has taken me awhile to continue this thing.  Like I warned before, I tend to forget about any blog I begin after only the first posting... but I'm trying!  Anyhow, many new developments since my last posting.  As far as things that are the same, I am still at the movie theater.  I'm only working 2-3 nights a week though.  I have been keeping the other days free to work on my acting career.  One might say that this seems like a not so great idea, seeing as I need to pay rent soon.  However, one might not know that I have been getting plenty of television work recently.  

So far, I have done some background acting for a web show directed by Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly), titled "Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long-Blog starring Neil Patrick Harris.  I have no idea when it will air, but if you google it, I'm sure you can find more info on it.  

Next came a day shoot on "Samantha Who."  This show is apparently very popular although I have never seen nor heard of it.  Christina Applegate is the leading actor, I'm not sure if anyone else in the cast is well known.

Last Monday I was cast as a background doctor on Grey's Anatomy.  See if you can spot me when it airs. How will you know which episode I am in? I can't really say other than the guest star was Cheech Marin.  He seemed to be a pretty good guy.  

Finally, I just received the called last night that I will be playing a protester in a feature film titled, An American Carol.  I'm very excited to be working on a film set next week for my first time.  I can't imagine this film will make it to the big screen, as its top stars are Kelsey Grammer and Chris Farley's brother Kevin... thats right, the guy from 2Gether.  Apparently I am protesting in front of a Trace Adkins concert in an attempt to abolish July 4th... I don't know, I just take the paycheck.

Outside of work, what else is new? Not a whole lot really.  I received a phone call from a nearby grocery store that I applied at for employment a while back.  THey may be having me in sometime this coming week to interview with them.  It would be quite helpful to land this job and leave the theater.  The store is less than a 10min walk so I'll save on gas and get a nice percentage off of my food... Very good.

Now I know I've teased my most anticipated films of 2008 list, however it is not yet complete.  Sorry guys.  It could be up by the end of this weekend, who knows? However, I can tell you that after seeing the preview many times, and being a fan of Mr. Clooney, I will say that I am indeed looking for to Leatherheads next week.  

Oh one more note. At the end of May, Leslie and Kevin will be visiting me out here. i am quite excited about that.  I have already booked tickets for us on the Price is Right.  Could be pretty cool, or it could be pretty lame. We'll see.  Otherwise, if any of you will be in LA for any reason, or want to visit, drop me a message. Perhaps we can work something out :)

Until next time,
Arthur

Joss Whedon is amazing. If you are ever in the same 4 feet radius as him, you should steal a strand of hair from him and send it to me.

I will put it next to my Buffy and Firefly shrine.

But life sounds exciting for you.

Just stopping by to say hello & good luck -not that you need it with the way your resume seems to be filling up :) Remember to stay grounded & don't run over any paparazzi, even if they do deserve it!
