Confessions of a Struggling Actor

Odd updates from my odd life

Man, that's gone quick...

I was still flying on the adrenaline rush from the audition in the morning and so Friday night whizzed by.  I managed to stay sober enough, even though that included meeting with Sue (who didn't get home til 4 it seems) and going to Harry's party.  I only hung about for an hour at most, but got kisses off 3 different girls and was lucky enough to be escorted home by a wonderful young lady, who I shall be looking up again.  There MUST be something in the air as I've never had this kind of attention for years.

After not very much sleep, we left at my place at 9am as I had an audition.  It went well enough (esp. considering the lack of sleep and having still had a fair few pints, albeit over a length of time) and then it was on to another short film, but this time shooting one in Croydon.  The lassie playing opposite me was a model or should be.  Not the most difficult job to flirt with someone as beautiful as that!!  I heard from Laura that she hadn't got the RC gig.  She asked for an early answer as she has another job lined up and will be jetting off to Prague to shoot an ad.  Not bad eh?!

I went into the Lion and Unicorn that night to see Geir's play and got even more chat, this time off an actress I worked with before.  The flirt-o-meter was working overtime!!  I put it down to getting the RC audition that must have translated to "success=sexy" or something.  After the play, I was dog-tired however, so went home and promptly fell asleep on the sofa.

No footy on Sunday, so had a chilled day watching football, playing Playstation and having a couple of tinnies and a couple of smokes.  My pal Al came round at night to read through his bit of the play (his aud was today) and then it was simply to bed and work and 5-a-side yesterday (another goal to earn us a draw - get in ya beauty) and then work again this morning.  No news from the RC, so I'm guessing (as I was all along) that I haven't got it.  I'm hoping to get some feedback from Mr Farquhar as to how I did and where I fell down to take on board for the next time.  As there will CERTAINLY be a next time...
