Chemin Bernard, Actors Access and the FUTURE of Casting ...

Just got to meet veteran casting director, Chemin Bernard, at aia studios. She had LOTS of cool stuff to say to the actors in attendance.
Among the most intriguing is how technology has transformed how she handles casting sessions and how she sees the industry adapting to it in the very near future.
She was raving about Breakdowns Express and Actors Access.

I will be checking it out very shortly. I'll post back here some of my experiences. My commercial agency (Howard Talent West) is VERY techno-savvy ... I'm sure they're already ahead-of-the-game already with some online accounts for me.

Since I'm a-bloggin' (and you're a-readin') we're already in the techno-game ...

Should be FUN!

Okay, I love TiVo even more than my computer or the internet!
It RULES!!!

AND, I am probably the only subscriber in the country who has TiVo, but NOT cable or satellite service (yep, just my TiVo and the network channels only ...)
A good ol' resurrected Fred-Flinstone-Bedrock-style aerial antenna found discarded on the top of my building ...

Anyhoo, for you fellow TiVo-ers out there, here's a cool thing to program your remote to do ... takes a few seconds, and voila, a new techno-feature!

Jesus and Being an Actor ...

I'm sick of being a (professional) actor ... it's a grind, it's a pain, it's scary ... and where's the freakin' money???

I think I'll pray ... to Jesus ...

"Jesus, should I still continue pursuing a professional acting career in L.A.?
Lemme know, okay?"
