Loved talking to students in the Film Department at UMass Amherst about my acting career.

So happy to get an audition from Playwrights Horizons. Self taped it at my mother in law’s place in Wisconsin.

My auditions get grittier and grittier. Criminals, addicts,, racists. These people aren’t nasty, though. Just misunderstood. Right? I’m going to focus my marketing on this type. Such fun playing these characters.

I’ve been learning Spanish on Duo Lingo for 81 days straight, so I listed “Basic Spanish” as a special skill on my Actors Access profile. My agent got me an audition for a bilingual guest star role on a new Netflix drama. So amazing. Fantastico!

Called in four times by Bowling Miscia Casting! Three times for different roles on Blue Bloods, once for an NDA related TV show. Happy to keep self taping for them.

Contacted by the Film Department at UMass Amherst to speak about my career. Can’t wait! I always think my career leans toward theatre, not film. But maybe that’s not true.

I got five, yes five, CMail Notifications last Friday. Audition requests from two major TV shows, a very major filmmaker, and two indies. I had to say no to the indie auditions due to time constraints. It’s been so slow and then this. You just have to go with the flow and stay relaxed. I’m thrilled and grateful but man. Unprecedented.

So great to do a performance /reading of my Solo Show “em-PATHETIC”. Really helpful talk back afterwards. I know where I need to go next with more rewrites. It’s a process but I’m getting there.

Finally finished rewriting the second act of “em-PATHETIC”, my Solo Show. I’m doing a reading/performance/workshop of it at Ripley Grier on February 11. Rehearsing with my director, Nancy Robillard, in the city. Taking those steps.

Self taped for a Co Star in HBO’s crime drama, Task. Thanks to my PA agent Tara Graham at ITS Talent. Then taped for some small roles on Zero Day, thanks to Park Artists.
