Just got an opportunity to act in a commercial.
They're trying to decide if they want me to keep my beard or do something different.
Fortunately it won't film until the end of June, so the playoff beard will remain!
Would be nice to land this one. We shall see...
Premier times for the movie are not yet released. I guess when you have to review 89 movies made in about 12 different languages, it might take some time to get through them all.
The fallout of this weekend aside, I've been told the movie is ok (people have said more praising things, but I translate it to being ok) and that I need to stop being so hard on myself.
I guess sometimes that is true, but if I wasn't so hard on myself, would I have any motivation to improve my work?
No one else seems to care, really.

That's exciting! You will absolutely have to tell me (if you dont want all to know) which commercial and when and all that jazz so I can watch for it!!!!

Well, if I get it, I've already been told it's being run in the Indianapolis market, so not sure if anyone I know will ever see it.

Surely with the power of the internet... it is possible.

You would think, but I have been in over a dozen commercials and I think I've only ever seen one!

No, scratch that. I was in a local ad that ran during a Superbowl one year, and I got to see that. Of course the camera angle was from the ceiling and all you could see was the top of my head and the laptop I was typing on.

Yes, I knew it was me. No one else would have.
And isn't that what fame is all about? Other people you don't know knowing you?

I suppose it is... it's like a high school popularity contest... you have your friends and then theres everyone that wishes they were you.

A lot of life is like that.
But I think it's mostly people wishing they were someone else.
