I just saw that my agents have signed two new actresses in my age range and type. I am trying to not feel irritated by it but I do feel a little pissed off. I told myself that I was going to be positive today so I am trying to tell myself that this it does not matter. Perhaps it doesn't. Or perhaps this heralds the end of my career! OK, OK, now I'm being dramatic. Do proper people feel this way?
I spent the day helping my actor friend, Tim, film an audition. It was for a really great project with great writing and a dynamic, funny character. Any actor's dream would be to play this role. He dressed up and even went to the lengths of wearing a wig! It was pretty funny and he did a really good job. I really hope his audition sparks some interest- he deserves some.
I just watched my favorite TV show 'Mad Men', which I loved, followed by 'Entourage'- a show that has really gone down hill. Why do porn stars now get to be actors on hot TV shows when they can't even act? Perhaps I should have gone to Porn school instead of Drama school. Good on Sasha Grey for making it this far, but I just don't understand why. After a particularly dull delivery, Turtle announces "she's funny"- excuse me- when? Are we watching the same thing here? 'Mad Men' is full of percolating characters and proper people and is so real that you feel as if you were a fly on the wall. The scripts are tight and subtle. Whereas, the characters in 'Entourage' are consistently placed in barely believable circumstances, have terrible lines to say and if you were a fly on the wall, you would be continuously shouting out "yeah right!"
