This is something that I did. I responded to the ad and was invited on as a guest to perform mime. There were suicide girl-style models, exotic dancers, rappers, people doing gross-out stunts for free tattoos... and me, a mime. So it turned into something of a strange and spontaneous sketch of sorts. I'm posting the link.

Here is the response I received:

"THE DETAILS:

Dog Actor school seeking actors to promote: (all areas)

"Dogs Provided, seeking talented assertive actors to promote Hi end Pet Acting and training School/ well established. promote our PET biz at local fun events and generate quality leads for us. lots of fun, great pay, must love pets and working with people."

It would be lots of fun to work with dogs. I love animals (as everyone knows). I hope this is a humane business. We will see, I have a phone interview this evening.

Actors Wanted (Downtown Los Angeles)

"Three male actors (sorry ladies just the roles) needed for one day no budget movie shoot. This project is political in nature and supports the candidacy of Barack Obama so if this is uncomfortable for you please do not respond. I will happily pay $200 to each actor upon completion of the project, and take everyone to a great dinner!
For the three roles I need very specific types. If you are interested in this, please respond with a headshot and a resume, and also note which role interests you.
1. Edge 50's-70's. Black. A commanding presence. Smart.
2. Scot 30's-40's. White. Smaller, skinny. Shy yet funny. Perceptive. Actor must be comfortable portraying a gay man.
3. Frankie 30's-70's. Any race but "White" or "Black". Funny. Think Borscht Belt. Satirical, biting. Please do not respond for this role if you do not enjoy doing comedy type characters.

Based on the three actors schedules alone, as everything else is already set, I hope to film on one of the weekend days in mid to late September near downtown Los Angeles.

Thanks for reading this and good luck to you in your creative pursuits."

I responded to this post submitting for the role of Scot. I have a meeting in about 4 hours to see about it. Could be fun!

Audition tonight!in hollywood and highland

OPEN CALL- AUDITIONS SCI FI TELEVISION PILOT (WEST HOLLYWOOD)
"Open auditions this Monday 7pm in West Hollywood. Email for location and parking instructions. Please bring a headshot or at least a photo of yourself and resume if you have one. Dress casual but neat.
Newbies and experienced welcome!"

I went to this very weird audition Monday night. It was at an apartment complex on LaBrea in Hollywood. The post said it was for a "sci-fi pilot". Pretty vague stuff I thought. When I got there I was in a group of about 100 people and everyone had a sheet of paper with a very short set of commercials (4-5 lines), for The Gap, Pepsi, and Burger King. One at a time we were sent in and asked to perform the pepsi speech for the actor we were told was the lead in the mysterious sci-fi pilot. I went in and he asked if I was feeling groovy. After my first reading he wanted me to do it again with CRAZY energy. I was then given a "number 3" (a 3 on a piece of paper). When everyone was done the people who had a 3 were all sent away (they didn't need us but told not to stop trying). I decided since I was in the area and out auditioning I'd go to another one. I saw some of the 1 and 2 people there. They said after I left it was announced that the remaining people were being invited to take acting classes at $75 a class (taught by the guy who asked if I felt groovy). It was something of a scam it seems. The 2nd audition was very cool... and I got a part! All the good stuff is below!

"Non-union feature horror film.

Actor should be between 5'-8" and 6' tall. Dance background a plus.

This ad was something I found when I did a specific search for mime-jobs (because of course, I'm a mime now). I met with these guys this past weekend and then the next day. I saw the very cool monster suit (it's AWESOME). I tried it on a little, moved around. I'm supposed to meet them again this upcoming weekend. I have always wanted to be the guy inside a cool monster/creature suit (ever since I was a little boy). I will also get to destroy small scale-model building like Godzilla (DREAM COME TRUE). I really want this job!
