Welcome to all those from the Sopranos shoot this past week. Sorry to have not made it back for today and tomorrow (my call number was too high and they didn't need us it seems) But I was able to attend a go-see for a print ad, which was fortunate.

To everyone else, the Sopranos shoot that I was an extra on this past week went very well, much better than I expected actually. Most of the time its tedious, hot (or cold), and wholly not worth it. But this experience turned out to be much better, thanks to a bunch of cool people who were on the set with me. Often you find one of two kinds of people at extra shoots. Either frustrated, bitter actors trying to make an extra buck, or celebrity seekers who hope to catch a glimpse or a second on screen. Instead of that I found some seriously interesting and funny people with whom I shared the long hours that stretched into the nights. As a testament to their ability to keep me laughing and conscious, I completed none of the reading that I brought, which is probably the biggest compliment I can give considering that is my default activity to which I turn when I am the least bit understimulated. Hopefully the ones that are left felt the hours fly by for these last 2 days. Steve Buscemi was directing and the entire cast was there so that was a bonus, a good time overall.

In other news, I'll still be heading to Tampa this coming Thursday morning to see the other members of the Fairchild group. I'll be headed back Monday of next week unless I have to shoot for the print ad, in which case I'll have to try to get a flight on Sunday. My headshots are completed, and the arduous (and painful) process of choosing which ones to touch up and use has come. You can check out the finalists here
Let me know what you think.

In rehearsals for Searching for Holes in the Ceiling with Streetlight. Working on the second draft of West 4th Purgatory and renewing my search for agents. Check back from time to time for updates.

Oh, here is a link to my Flickr page, check out some choice shots...I'll add this as a link up top soon!
