One of the things I was working on about a month or so ago was trying to get on a new and very cool movie. I don't make resolutions on new years but I did resolve to pursue the film gigs this year pretty hard. Even if it means I have to travel somewhere else to work on it.
Then I found out Rob Zombie was going to film Halloween 2 this year in Georgia. So I found this casting notice on a website:
[DEPUTY FRED KING] A male of any ethnicity, 20s - 50s, a small town cop who may be a bit cranky. When he is sent out to look for someone who is clearly not there, it bugs him. Fear for fear's sake. He goes with his partner in to the Myers house to check for ghosts, but then, all too suddenly, he is stabbed to death by the man he should have been more careful of...Please note any actors able to work as Local Hire.
I began to pursue this role. Of course I got shot down....... I am ill prepared as I found out. They wanted my agent to call them, which didn't go well cause I don't have an agent. My headshots are not professional. Which is weird cause they got me gigs on The Dark Knight and Public Enemies. PE was very hard to get on, you had to be hand picked by the director himself and I wound up in various parts including some of the important scenes. So I worked on fixing those things and may have them straightened out soon.
Now I found out the Nightmare on Elm Street remake is coming and filming mostly in Chicago. I have been working hard on getting on it but much isn't known about it yet. But in the process I have stumbled on a few new things I didn't know about including some new movie starting filming in 2 weeks. I was trying to get in a Jim Beam commercial yesterday but I didn't get it. So all in all, maybe I now can get killed by Freddy Kruger....
