Hookers rallying for good causes
My day on the set of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES was anything but Desperate. I was given first class treatment all the way! The job reminded me of why I came to Hollywood in the first place. It’s amazing how the real professionals treat you with respect and appreciation while the wanna-be’s walk all over you. This set was as good as it gets. And my Desperate Housewife of choice was Teri Hatcher; a classy, intelligent and genuinely nice person. We had a scene together. I’ve never seen an Actress care so much about her choices and the truth and logic of her character. Maybe television can be as challenging as Theater. It’s all about what YOU bring to the table. Give an Oscar worthy performance in a student film, deliver a Tony winning role in a scene night in your acting school. Be the person you want to be in any circumstance. Same in life. Be honest in a room full of liars. Be the best.
Hookers and Witches. There seems to be a recurring theme in the parts I’m auditioning for. It must be my intimidating glare. At least I’m getting out now. Having a credit on a top TV show seems to have revitalized my career!
My show at the Whitefire was “okay”. Not as much of a party as it usually is. I’ve been so fortunate to have all good press but some lady, a teacher no less, had the audacity to write that my show was awful on Goldstar. I’d hate to be her student. No praise for effort or ideas for improvement, just “You’re awful”.
I know I’m not awful so it doesn’t matter. Besides, I can’t be everyone’s cup of tea. I’m too controversial (and hope to stay that way!).
I auditioned for a new JLO music video. I was shocked on how disorganized the audition was. I felt it was unfair that people waited hours to be seen while some arrived and were seen right away. So I became my best “Norma Rae” and got to work defending the rights of my fellow actors. It made me feel good. I hate seeing people being taken advantage of. I was blessed with a BIG mouth and I intend to use it. I could create a career patrolling auditions. Be an undercover agent for SAG. Or maybe I’d prefer to be like Spiderman and just do it to better the world. I’ll need a costume of course. And a new name.
