The gig sounds awesome, the wake up call...not so much.

I have to get up at 245 am or so, but I have to go do the same thing I have been doing for over 20 years.

I am relaxing now, should be in bed...

Thanks.

Way cool Steve!

Do you think you would have been up at 5am if you were still drinking?

Hope you get the gig man!

Keep us posted!

Im not at liberty to say due to non disclosure agreements but I was briefly on it last season on the "we love cindi" episode as one of the hippys in the beginning . I can talk about them after they air. Did portlandia a couple times and almost on grimm but they didnt use me but got to see the stars . Its a fun exhausting hobby but its interesting and you get a little $ and maybe a glimpse of yourself on tv.

I have a friend who's a regular working actor, if not very high profile, here.

He usually plays Heavies so he gets to hold guns and knives and all kinds of stuff but that doesn't mean he has to use them...its just make believe

you can do this SA

I loved that episode (We love Cindi). It was absolutely hilarious.
I too have a friend who is a working actor. He is not a household name but works steadily on TV series (he was on Boardwalk empire) as well as on of Broadway plays.
So glad that you are reaching for your dreams.
