ACTING | 'RUSH'ing To Be Placed On Hold

Is the acting game easier than life in the real world? Based on today's events, one would have to say 'yes'.

I mean, come on! Two gigs delivered into my lap within 45 minutes of each other today and I didn't have to lift a finger to get either of 'em!!

At the minute, looks like I've scored my first bit part on a commercial TV show - RUSH. Why the cautious take on it? I've been put on 'hold'.








RUSH | Season 4 Episode 1

I'm now taking your bets on what that part is likely to be:

• 5/1 | Cop - uniform
  
• Odds On | Cop - detective
  
• 7/1 | Cop - undercover
  
• Evens | Journo
  
• 6/1 | Crim - white collar
  
• 20/1 | Crim - murky underworld type
• 15/1 | Husband -Grieving
• 18/1 | Husband - Grieving, but guilty as all get out
  
• Scratched | Male Hooker
• Not entered | Ghost Writer
  

The other gig that flew into my inbox was pitched thus:

'Project Name'* is a high school drama about two boys who fall in love while making a horror film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet for a class project. I have a small part - let me know if you're interested and we can arrange a screen test soon.

Horror! A genre I haven't explored before (does the job market count as a horror story?!).

Anyways - back to my earlier musings....let's have a look at the job score-card as it stands since February 9:

• Corporate Job Market: Strike rate 0%

• 25 applied, 1 Agency contact (face-to-face), 0 job interviews, 0 gigs
  

• Acting Job Market: Strike rate 50%

• 14 applied, 6 Agency contact (phone), 14 auditions (job interviews), 7 gigs
  

* can't reveal the name of this one - sorry! (Not yet anyway)
