The film Echelon 8 just hit Netfix! Here I am in one of numerous scenes playing FBI Section Chief Mark Warren. Actor Rick Lohman plays my CIA counterpart. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6Qwl87IG0M
Thanks for the compliment Matt, but apologies for my next sentence....I'm not in charge of the site, and don't control what stays up and what doesn't. But again, to you and all the other professionals that commented..I really apprecaite the kind words!
I'm very surprised that it's still there..and delighted at the same time!

Expand commentHey Matt. I just addressed this to you on FB. Seems as if you are posting this everywhere, so allow me to comment here as well. Trending criteria is a work in progress. There are nearly 100,000 people on this site, and literally tens of thousands of posts a day. It's easier said than done as to how the trending posts are compiled. Having said that, we're fine tuning all the time and are working on this as we speak. Remember...There are only 2 full time people who work on this site....and the site is free. There is a ton to cover every day...I ask you to be patient. Thanks. RB
Marc, the actor in the chair is Rick Lohman.
Although is a small piece of lens, but very comfortable and natural good negotiator, Gary Craig.
Hi everyone, Does someone know how to break down the impenetrable doors of the Hollywood Casting Directors? I cannot find an agent right now and it seems that no CD will accept my submissions if I do not have an agent. This is a vicious circle. Since 2008 (I think), rumors of a feature about Wonder...
Expand postHi everyone, Does someone know how to break down the impenetrable doors of the Hollywood Casting Directors? I cannot find an agent right now and it seems that no CD will accept my submissions if I do not have an agent. This is a vicious circle. Since 2008 (I think), rumors of a feature about Wonder Woman started. Now, from what I read, they cannot find the right actress for the role. Every good actress in Hollywood seems to be too short or too old to embody Diana (and I wonder why they did not keep Adrianne Palicki). So I sent a headshot, resume and cover letter to the CD hired to find the perfect Wonder Woman and did not get any answer (it was about three months ago). By the way, when I read that Beyonce went to see the producers in person to ask for the role, it makes me really angry (someone will say jealous and will be right too) (I hope you understand why)... So anyone has an advice or know someone whom I could try to reach? Thanks.
Update: I posted my Wonder Woman pictures here in Stage32. Please have a look and tell me what you think. I am going to email the CD again with those pictures. Wish me luck :D

Expand commentHi Jack, my first question is: are you located in Los Angeles? most CDs and agents only want to work with locals. However there is more than one way to skin a cat in this business. This would be a very long email. Inbox me your number and we can chat. There are some ways of layering your mailings...being sure your pics and mailings are on par with industry standards, calling for auditions/meetings etc. We have to think of our careers as little businesses. Companies have strategic plans and marketing schedules, etc. we should too.

Expand postI am new to the film industry, though I have done theater for a number of years. I keep getting mixed messages on having a reel. A lot of the film work I have done so far are shorts and I have not as yet paid someone to put together a demo reel for me. I don't actually as yet have copies of those productions. I get some advice saying casting directors don't care about seeing a reel, just resume and head shot, and others who won't look at me without a reel. I live in the Midwest, so most of my work is coming from south of Chicago, though I do have some work scheduled for Chi-town now. Does anyone out there have (especially Casting Directors) have some advice?

Expand commentPatricia, my advice is to have as much in your arsenal as possible. While some don't care about the reel...some do. So why not have it there? It's true may jobs are booked off a headshot and resume. But then they might ask the question, "Can she act?" There lies the reason for the reel. Pat, when you get your footage..send it to me, and I'd be more than happy to put together a reel for you. Look at my reel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2FV3A2Bt1U
I have a lot of friends who are indie film producers, and most, if not all, find them useful when casting. I've led two productions, and I gave weight to actors whose reels I watched.

Expand commenthave as many tools in your arsenal as possible. If a casting director does not want a reel? fine ... but you look better for being able to offer one. I certainly look at a reel when offered and it does make me feel that the actor really feels they are a professional and have taken the time and effort to reflect on that and to market themselves as a professional . it is also the way to make your talents shine. do not do VOLUME. less is more. chose your best ... --- and break a leg.

Expand commentI say reel. We just finished casting for a film I am producing and the people who had a reel got first priority. They had their reel accessible via Breakdowns Service(Actors Access) and Now Casting. Even if it is a scene you have a friend tape. The producers and director want to know what you look like on camera. Headshots alone really don't convey your essence.
I agree. unless your acting really sucks, it can't hurt. the more tools you have, the easier it is to market yourself. if you have a reel on youtube, even if it's unlisted, you can easily share a link...
Expand commentI agree. unless your acting really sucks, it can't hurt. the more tools you have, the easier it is to market yourself. if you have a reel on youtube, even if it's unlisted, you can easily share a link with a director, casting director, producer... you should have an EPK (electronic press kit). a free website can work. all you need is your photo, a bio, a resume and your reel and you've got a good start. you should do a short monologue to include in the reel, but like I tape a few actors at a time. that way we can show how you interact with other actors. casting directors want to know how you look on camera AND how you fit with the other actors in the cast.

Will do. Thanks!!
How'd this go?
Hasn't filmed yet. It's postponed while they sort out some financial issues. Hopefully sometime this year...
No word?
None yet, looking doubtful at this point...
