KILLER KIDS AND A NICE LONG SHOWER
Thursday, August 8, 2013
It's funny what you to do get work as an actor and even funnier what you do when you get the job.
Case in point...
I'm driving to Surry, VA. to shoot an episode of the A&E True Crime series Killer Kids. I know. Has a nice ring to it. Doesn't it?
This is the second time I've worked on this series.
My first experience was shooting The Cody Posey Story. I played a porn-addicted, abusive father who tries to get his step-son to join him and his wife in a three-way. So, basically, a douchebag.
Tomorrow I am shooting The Melissa Garrison Story.
You can read about the case by clicking on the link below:
MELISSA GARRISON
I'm not playing a douchebag this time.
I'm playing a prosecuting attorney.
(Waits a beat)
You done with all the jokes in your head?Okay.
Anyway...

Anyway...
Today I will venture out and look for suit jackets and maybe ties that fit 1990's styles. More than likely I will spend most of my day in a number of thrift stores sliding jackets along that steel rod...
(Slide. Inspect. Try on. Put back. Slide. Repeat.)
I also need to find some wire-framed glasses to match what my character wore.
I am a slave to the details. I want to look like the character I am supposed to be playing, especially when the character is a real live person. In this case Attorney Steve Simpson. I think that's the best way to approach the situation. At the very least, it is the beginning of the process.
Simpson is a big man and so am I. I can see why I got the part.

Later on today I will get my hair trimmed. I've already shaved off my goatee and I'm sporting what can only be called a porn-stache.
My wife loves it.
Loves it like she loves stubbing her toe on our over-sized ottoman in the livingroom.
The stache is pretty cheesy and I look like I should be rollerskating to Boogie Fever.
Maybe for my next role.
I'm not a fan of my face normally but I dislike it even more when there's no whiskers to hide behind.

Insecurity. It's an actor's worse enemy.
Right next to jelly doughnuts and sexting while drunk.

So it is off I go to the thrift stores where I will be touching and trying on clothes that have at the very least been sprayed with Febreeze.

Then I will race home and soak in a tub of Purell hand sanitizer until I prune.
Just keeping it reel...and hopefully disease free.Copyright 2013
