He has no patience for small talk and treats people as tools, reflecting his pragmatic and utilitarian worldview.

Mikel ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello! My name is Jacob Samuels and I'm the director of the film. After reviewing your materials, I wanted to reach out and discuss moving forward together on this production. Firstly, we will be filming your scenes on Saturday, July 20th at an office in Downtown Los Angeles. Exact times are still TBD but should take about six hours to complete. Unfortunately, at this time I'm only able to offer a $30 gas stipend for your involvement in the film plus meals, credit, and a copy of the film. While I understand this may change your interest in our film, I do hope I can share our script with you and still find a way to work together. This film is a labor of love from start to finish with a very humbling production budget. Our crew is dedicated to creating something very special together and we hope you'll want to be a part of that. Regardless, I want to sincerely thank you for your time and consideration! I look forward to hearing from you soon! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message with Emily Jarvis Male With Canadian French Accent, Sony Podcast RE: Thank you Emily Jarvis to Bruce Basil Mathews - 06/18/2024 Thank you for your application but we have decided to go in a different direction.

Although he's done quite well as a manager at a software company, you'd never know it - he's an everyday guy in both demeanor and appearance. He takes things humbly, and as they come. He'd be indistinguishable in a crowd, and he'd be fine with that.”

We would like to officially offer you the role of "Deputy" in our short film 'The Splentacular Ride of Teena MacFly'. We planned on having callbacks, but the truth is we kept comparing everyone to your early audition. We're self funding but would love to make bringing you out to Los Angeles possible. We're looking at a one day shoot for your character involving you driving a vintage police car a short distance (would need a valid drivers license for production insurance purposes) and our short scene. We're tentatively looking at shooting your scene Monday May 20th. The plan would be flying you from Seattle SEA to LAX Sunday night. A production assistant would drive you the 3 hours to Lone Pine, CA where we would put you up for the night. Then we would wrap you by 4:00pm the next day to get you back to LAX for the 9:10pm red eye back to Seattle. We would pay for airfare, lodging, and $187.50 stipend for your day of shooting plus the half day of travel. Through SAG you would also receive differed day rate payment if we accrue any profit from this short film.
Hope to hear from you soon!

The new bishop in town that inherits the old Flanagan problem…always having to tell Flanagan no! Inadvertently funny. SUPPORTING Rate of Pay: $240 + 10% per day Location: Los Angeles, CA Plot synopsis: Based on the true story. Father Francis Flanagan was able to grow Boys Town into the modern legacy that it is not with the help of the government, banks, or even the Catholic Church. It wasn't until he wandered into a bar and made the acquaintance of a fellow also interested in juvenile justice that the organization got its start. Audition Instructions: Sides to prepare are attached. The script is also attached. Father Flanagan should NOT have an Irish dialect. Here is a YouTube clip of the real Flanagan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=407erqQwBvQ
1. Slate and Scenes: Full body slate stating your name and height and where you are located. Make each scene a separate clip. In addition, make the slate a separate clip from the scenes and put it after the scenes. 2. Light and Sound: Make sure you have good lighting and can be seen clearly but not so bright that you are blown out. Natural, indirect sunlight, facing a window often works well. Test the sound and video. Can you be heard clearly? Do your clothes clash with the background? Have a background that is neutral. A kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room, yard, etc. is NOT a neutral background. 3. Framing: Use a neutral, uncluttered backdrop. For your read, the framing should be tight, in the center with the bottom of the frame at about the middle of your chest and the top of the frame just above the top of your head. MAKE SURE THE READER IS CENTERED DIRECTLY NEXT TO THE CAMERA SO THAT WE DON'T GET TOO MUCH PROFILE. 4. Depending on what the scene calls for, make a choice to sit or stand and stick with it. Keep movement to a minimum. Stillness is your friend. 5. Avoid props. Phones and bags are probably the most commonly used and acceptable props when used as phones and bags, otherwise, anything you bring into a scene can be distracting to the viewer. 6. Minimize distractions and miming: Unexpected sounds, on-camera visuals, props, loud clothes, etc. 7. Reader: You must have a live off-camera reader (either in-person or via phone/video). The reader must not be louder than the actor. The actor can use a mic.

Myers Director: Michael Reilly Playwright: Arthur Miller Casting Director: Paul Ruddy Auditions: Via EcoCast self tape beginning the week of May 22 and in-person callbacks between June 5-15. Rehearsal Start Date: July 10, 2023 Opening Date: August 18, 2023 Tentative Closing Date: September 24, 2023 Role Name: ALFIERI Role Description: Male, White (55-70) An Italian-American lawyer who serves as the play's narrator. He tries to make sense of the events that unfold and warns Eddie against taking any violent actions. Must be able to speak in an Italian accent. LEAD Rate of pay: AEA 99 Seat plan $16.90 per hour Location: Santa Monica, CA Storyline: "A View from the Bridge" is a dramatic play written by Arthur Miller, set in the 1950s Italian-American neighborhood of Redhook, Brooklyn. The story revolves around Eddie Carbone, a longshoreman living in Brooklyn, New York. It explores themes of masculinity, honor, loyalty, and the consequences of obsession. It delves into the complex dynamics of family, community, and the clash between individual desires and societal expectations. Miller's poignant portrayal of Eddie's downfall serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the destructive power of uncontrolled emotions. Audition Instructions Sides to prepare are attached. 1. Slate and Scenes: Full body slate stating your name and height and where you are located and any theatre training/experience you may have. Separate the slate from the scene(s). In other words, make everything a separate clip. Read the breakdown character descriptions very carefully. 2. Light and Sound: Make sure you have good lighting and can be seen clearly but not so bright that you are blown out. Natural, indirect sunlight, facing a window often works well. Test the sound and video. Can you be heard clearly? Do your clothes clash with the background? Have a background that is neutral. A kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room, yard, etc. is NOT a neutral background. 3. Framing: Use a neutral, uncluttered backdrop. For your read, the framing should be tight, in the center with the bottom of the frame at about the middle of your chest and the top of the frame just above the top of your head. MAKE SURE THE READER IS CENTERED DIRECTLY NEXT TO THE CAMERA SO THAT WE DON'T GET TOO MUCH PROFILE. 4. Depending on what the scene calls for, make a choice to sit or stand and stick with it. Keep movement to a minimum. Stillness is your friend. 5. Avoid props. Phones and bags are probably the most commonly used and acceptable props when used as phones and bags, otherwise, anything you bring into a scene can be distracting to the viewer. 6. Minimize distractions and miming: Unexpected sounds, on-camera visuals, props, loud clothes, etc. 7. Reader: You must have a live off-camera reader (either in-person or via phone/video). The reader must not be louder than the actor. The actor can use a mic.
PLOT SYNOPSIS: "A View from the Bridge" is a dramatic play written by Arthur Miller. Set in the 1950s, the story revolves around Eddie Carbone, a longshoreman living in Brooklyn, New York. Here's a fresh synopsis of "A View from the Bridge":In the close-knit Italian-American community, Eddie Carbone works on the docks and leads a seemingly ordinary life with his wife, Beatrice, and their niece, Catherine. However, tensions begin to simmer when Beatrice's cousins, Marco and Rodolpho, arrive from Italy as illegal immigrants. They stay with the Carbones, seeking work and a better life.Eddie's protective instincts towards Catherine become apparent as he tries to assert control over her choices and relationships. Catherine, on the other hand, is blossoming into a young woman and falls in love with Rodolpho, creating further unease for Eddie. He harbors deep-seated feelings for Catherine, which he struggles to come to terms with.As Eddie's jealousy and obsession grow, he seeks advice from his friend, Alfieri, a lawyer who serves as a narrator and commentator throughout the play. Alfieri warns Eddie about the consequences of his actions but ultimately cannot intervene in Eddie's personal affairs.The situation intensifies when Eddie reports Marco and Rodolpho to immigration authorities out of spite and a desperate attempt to break up Catherine and Rodolpho's relationship. This decision sets off a chain of events that leads to a climactic confrontation.Marco, feeling betrayed by Eddie's actions, confronts him publicly and challenges his honor by lifting a chair, symbolizing a duel. Eddie, driven by anger and wounded pride, responds by trying to attack Marco but is ultimately defeated. The community turns against Eddie, seeing his actions as a betrayal of their shared cultural values.In the aftermath, tragedy strikes when Eddie, consumed by his own inner conflicts, takes matters into his own hands to regain his lost honor. The consequences of his actions reverberate throughout the community, leaving everyone shattered and questioning their loyalties."A View from the Bridge" explores themes of masculinity, honor, loyalty, and the consequences of obsession. It delves into the complex dynamics of family, community, and the clash between individual desires and societal expectations. Miller's poignant portrayal of Eddie's downfall serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the destructive power of uncontrolled emotions. -- Audition Deadline Saturday May 27, 2023 @ 4:00 PM (PDT) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: HAIRSPRAY (RCCL) Venue: Symphony of The Seas Producer/Theatre Company: Royal Caribbean Productions Director: Jason Capewell Choreographer: Greg Graham Book: Mark O'Donnell, Thomas Meehan Music: Mark Shaiman Lyrics: Mark Shaiman, Scott Wittman Casting Director: JP Christensen, Greg Graham NYC Audition Date(s): May 24-25, 2023 Callback Date(s): May 26, 2023 Rehearsal Date(s): Sep 8 - Nov 11, 2023 Contract Dates: Nov 12, 2023 - August 18, 2024 RATES: Featured Singers – Contract Salary: $5000/ per month minimum; Shoreside Rehearsals: $600/ per week (per diem).

A man weathered by thirty years at this firm and over fifty years on this Earth. Above all else, he's learned to protect his team of associates and paralegals over whatever his clients throw at him. He is smart, cunning, and deliberate, but also understands the implications of the severity of the liability his main client, Heman Chemicals, holds. This isn't the first time he's seen something like this, and he knows it won't be his last. SUPPORTING Storyline: Two paralegals try to save their firm when the state of New Jersey cuts a deal with one of their clients, Heman Chemicals, to condemn the site and remove the plant's liability from any potential spills. Our protagonist, Maria, must prove that the plant's chemicals spilled across state lines to indicate the firm's exposure to federal statutes and convince her boss of the potential risk to the health of the company over the health of the people in the surrounding area. Her coworker, Michael, who initially is onboard with the idea, learns of the severity of the exposure and develops second thoughts, driving a wedge in their friendship and ultimately ending in its dissolution. Maria successfully finds another chemical company to use as a scapegoat for the chemical plant to pin the blame on down the line and is rewarded by being invited to sit in the room where the general counsel meets in the morning. What she gains is a step up on the corporate ladder and what she loses is the one real and honest friendship she had in this cold and calculated environment. Mason Kidd is a young Director and Producer from Los Angeles.

Following a string of unidentified aircraft sightings over Los Angeles, a determined journalist investigating the occurrences reluctantly teams up with a Japanese-American photographer in an attempt to capture photographic evidence to identify these aircraft. This film is to honor the history fan in me; as a look into the intriguing lives of those who lived through it. This film is meant to honor those of the past and to avoid the pitfalls they did or did not. Inspired by true events (The Battle of Los Angeles), this story is one of intrigue and mystery, while also revealing the unfortunate results of unchecked grief and fear. It is a film about unlikely friendship, and I hope it provides a semblance of peace to our world today. Audition Instructions PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE, I AM GIVING VERY SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS.

HANSON
Role Description: 57, white male with beard; Mr. Hanson gets all of his news from Facebook. Believes the U.S. lost the Vietnam war because they weren't allowed to shoot anyone. Please see Photo Reference for stylistic idea of actor. You absolutely love plants. You have been giving this same speech for a decade every day. But you deeply care about plants and want others to, too, even if sometimes the people on your tours aren’t always paying attention, you care and respect the power that plants bring to the universe. Role Type: Supporting Age Range: 50 - 60 Due By: Feb 3, 2023, 11:30 PM PST LOGLINE: A Vietnamese exchange student struggles to fit in when he attends a Christian high school in South Dakota. Set during the first day of class, Hiep Nguyen is a Vietnamese student going on an exchange program to a Christian High School in South Dakota. At the school, Hiep stumbles into the challenge of conforming to an environment full of white, religious Midwesterners, who never had an Asian foreigner as their classmates. Hiep is forced to face the constant wrong pronunciation of his name, a new religious perspective, and a group of people who are unsure how to treat him. It also does not help that many teachers and students do not know much about Vietnam except for the Vietnam war. As he tries to fit in with the new environment, Hiep seeks to befriend Christian, who is a quarter Vietnamese. Upon meeting Christian, he realizes Christian has a deep- seated hatred for Vietnam, which scarred Hiep. Determined to overcome the cultural obstacles, Hiep shred any evidence of being a Vietnamese, starting with changing his name to Mike, thus begin his unconscious transformation into being an American. MIKE focuses on the unique experience that one faces when there is a sudden change to their environment and culture. Often times, exchange student going to a more rural area of North America faces ignorance from the natives, and the instant cultural shock they must go through in school only adds to this unique experience of isolation. Loneliness, thus, is at the core of the movie. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission for The Wizard - 'The Wizard Of OZ' from Bruce Basil Mathews MaryRuth Cowgill to Bruce Basil Mathews - 1:36 PM 1/31/2023 You have to audition in person by appointment at the theater in Annapolis, MD on Feb, 7, from 5:30--8:00; or Feb 8, from 4:30--7:30. What day and time do you want? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Comedy of Errors, London, Stratford, Globe Ron Destro to Bruce Basil Mathews - 6:14 AM 1/31/2023 Thank you for your interest in our COMEDY OF ERRORS performance workshop July 19-27 in London and Stratford-upon-Avon, which we have just started casting.
If you visit our website, you will see that our performances are the result of a week-long intensive for working actors, with actor training, rehearsals and masterclasses, often with RSC, Globe and RADA artists. This workshop will also include a professional acting class (and tour) at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. And there will be one-on-one zoom sessions in the coming months to help each actor prepare.
The process is for actors from around the US, UK and worldwide to send in a link to a video of any Shakespeare monologue in verse (in your own voice with no put-on accent) to onsiteshakespeare@gmail.com. You can post it on You Tube, Vimeo or a similar site. Then send us the link. We are currently reviewing audition videos. There is no deadline, but as videos are received, they are evaluated and role offers sent out, so the sooner is always better.
The class fee is $525 (£390 or €450) for the training and classes, and the performances are a result of that training. As a non-profit training program established in 2001, we charge no admission for the audience and make no money from the shows. For those accepted, the actor will be sent a role offer. If the offer is accepted, the actor sends in the workshop fee.
Because we have actors joining us from throughout the US, UK and worldwide, each actor makes his own travel and lodging arrangements. The OSC does provide a group on our Facebook page for actors to meet and coordinate hotel or bnb shares for those interested.
Lines are learnt before we start, and training and rehearsals will take place in London. We generally have two separate casts, each performing at Bancroft Garden in Stratford-upon-Avon, in front of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Some actors may be in both casts. The planned daily schedule is posted on our website, along with information about our Macbeth Part II sequel, a new world premiere, which we will perform in Edinburgh and Birnam Wood, Scotland, July 10-17.
Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions. You can find on our website details about our previous workshops in Venice, Azincourt, Bosworth Field, and Elsinore. Plus comments from past participants.
The Onsite Shakespeare is the education arm of the US-based Oxford Shake-speare Company, and is not affiliated with the college-based group in Oxford, UK.
We look forward to seeing your audition video.
all best,
Ron Destro OSC artistic director ---- Hi Bruce,
Thank you for your audition video, which I very much enjoyed. If you are interested in THE COMEDY OF ERRORS performance workshop (in London and Stratford-upon-Avon), I'd be happy to offer you the role of the Duke. I have enclosed a copy of our slightly edited texts for your perusal.
As you know, each production is the result of a one-week intensive training session with actors from the US, UK and worldwide. Currently, we are planning masterclasses with Malcolm McKay, former Globe and RADA director, who trained Kenneth Branagh, Raif Fiennes, Fiona Shaw, Juliet Stevenson (and yours truly). Also included in the Errors workshop is a professional acting class (and tour) at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. The workshop fee is $525 per workshop, but there is a discount for actors doing both ERRORS and MACBETH PART II in Edinburgh and Birnam Wood, Scotland.
When performing, we do two back-to-back shows and generally we have two casts, each performing in one show, but sometimes actors are cast in both shows. It just depends on how many actors apply.
Please let us know if you accept the role, or if you have any questions.
with kind regards,
Ron

(BLACK EYED KIDS) Union Status: SAG-AFTRA - Ultra-Low Budget Producer: Jason Goldberg Director: Buz Wallick Writer: CJ Duke Casting Director: Paul Sinacore Start Date: November 1, 2022 Rate of Pay: Scale/Overscale (minimum rate of $300/day) - Travel, accommodations, and per diem provided. Location: Los Angeles, Canada, and Littleton, New Hampshire Storyline: After recording drone footage deep in the New Hampshire wilderness, a traumatized photographer unintentionally makes himself the target of a sinister supernatural presence.. BLACK EYED KIDS LORE: The Black Eyed Children, also known as the Black Eyed Kids, are a form of humanoid cryptid, urban legend, or ghost story that has gained popularity since 1998 with the emergence of internet culture, though the notion of malevolent child-like specters extends back to prehistory. Black Eyed Children are believed to resemble ghostly children in their early twenties or younger, with unnaturally black eyes. Those who come into contact with them describe them as sinister, terrifying, and even dangerous, yet no one knows what they are. Some believe the Black Eyed Children are ghosts, while others believe they are demons, vampires, or terrible witches. Some UFO legends portray them as human-alien hybrids, while others say they are children playing terrible pranks on the public. Many people dismiss them as little more than urban legends spread by online forums and sites like YouTube, as well as photo manipulation. Various research into the history of black-eyed child sightings have been done, however it is currently unknown when the initial sighting was reported or even where the legend originated. The children can be encountered around roads, streets, and residential dwellings in most black-eyed children folklore and legends, stalking passersby or occupants of a property to cause psychological harm. Role Name: HUFF Role Description: 40 to 60 years old, male or female. Senior Ranger and Micah's boss. Though hardly one to open up, Huff has clearly been shaped by years of trauma and hardship leaving a gruff borderline bully in their wake. No attachments. No hint of vulnerability. Huff knows what lurks in the forest, knows how pointless it is to stand against it. All Huff can do is try to placate. Minimize the body count. SUPPORTING

Message from the production owner Hello! This is Nate Allison the director of First Time Caller from Charthouse Films. I'm happy to say that you made it into the first round of auditions. Attached you will find a a scene between Mr. Bryant and our main character Jansen (scene 6). Mr. Bryant is Jansen's neighbor and mostly keeps to himself; however, Jansen has formed a relationship with him through helping him regularly with chores at his home. Now that Jansen is injured, Mr. B stops by to see how he is. He is older and doesn't move so well. He is generally friendly for an introvert and drops his guard some when talking about his ham radio hobby. There is also a something a bit off about him. A subtlety under the service that suggests that he's not everything that he seems on the surface. I'm excited to see how you interpret this scene. We ask that you please submit by June 15th if at all possible. If you have any other questions please let us know. Thank you and good luck!

Charming, naturally sociable, and witty, Franklin drew people to him wherever he lived. He was dutiful and affectionate toward his family, but it was to close friends that he most often expressed his ardent devotion. He was a prolific writer and a selfless inventor – one of the key contributors and leaders of the American Revolution. PRINCIPAL
Audition Instructions: Hello & thank you for applying for the role of Ben Franklin. Sorry for the long detailed response, we have been trying very hard to find the right person for this role so I am trying my best to make sure you have everything you need to knock it out of the park. Please note that all roles in this project are nonspeaking roles, but we need actors who can portray vast emotion in their eyes, body, and facial expressions. These sides are used to gauge your ability but are not a part of our show, but make sure to speak and act the lines from the sides. Would love to have you slate standing next to a chair so we can see you height.
- Slate: - Name - Height - Union status - Location
Frame should be at least waist level, but the larger the frame the better. Please make BIG and STRONG choices. Please be physical and use the space ( maybe pace and move into frame and out of frame) actively listen. One of my notes for this piece is that Jefferson really wants to say yes, but he is afraid people will think he is not caring for his state. Or another choice could be he is frustrated that Adams wants to keep using him. I mean really, just a strong choice.
We are in the process of locking this in as a SAG project, but it will be SAG like the last project we did with CNN – Lincoln: Divided We Stand (check it out) And a reminder that we are filming in the greater Philadelphia area. Also note, we are casting many roles, so we may have you audition for other roles or have you CB for a different role.
Please read the role of Adams.

Title: GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER

Venue: The Ruskin Group Theatre
Producer(s): John Ruskin, Michael Myers
Director: Lita Gaithers
OwensWriter: Todd Kreidler (based on the screenplay of the 1967 film of the same name by William Rose)
Casting Director: Paul RuddyAudition Date(s): March 25th-April 1st, 2022Opening Date: o/a May 20th 2022.Rate of Pay: $15.00 per hour (Actor's Equity 99 seat plan)
Location: Santa Monica, CA
Storyline: Set in the Spring of 1967 at the San Francisco home of the Draytons, a progressive white couple whose proud liberal sensibilities are put to the test when their daughter brings her black fiancé home to meet them. They are surprised to find that they aren't the only one's with concerns about the match and it's not long before a multi-family clash of racial and generational difference sweeps across the Drayton's idyllic terrace.
Role Name: MATT DRAYTON
Role Description 55 to 65 years old, white male. A very successful publisher of a San Francisco newspaper, The Guardian. A cynical old man, a sports enthusiast, a brilliant businessman, and sensitive teddy bear, all rolled into one. He’s seen and heard it all.
Audition Instructions:
THE FULL SCRIPT IS ATTACHED. SIDES TO PREPARE ARE ATTACHED FOR YOUR RESPECTIVE ROLE.
FOR YOUR SELF TAPE:
1. Slate: Slate your name and height and any theatre experience. Break between slate and scene.
2. Light and Sound: Make sure you have good lighting and can be seen clearly but not so bright that you are blown out. Natural, indirect sunlight, facing a window often works well. Test the sound and video. Can you be heard clearly? Do your clothes clash with the background? Have a background that is neutral. A kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room, yard, etc. is NOT a neutral background.
3. Framing: Your framing should be tight, in the center with the bottom of the frame at about the middle of your chest and the top of the frame just above the top of your head.
4. Depending on what the scene calls for, make a choice to sit or stand and stick with it. Keep movement to a minimum. Stillness is your friend.
5. Avoid props. Phones and bags are probably the most commonly used and acceptable props when used as phones and bags, otherwise, anything you bring into a scene can be distracting to the viewer.
6. Minimize distractions and miming: Unexpected sounds, on-camera visuals, props, loud clothes, etc.

Message from casting director Sherrie Henderson:
Good afternoon!
You have a self tape due for WAKING KARMA. There are no lines written, it is all about the facial expressions, and connection you make with the other characters. It is very important that the framing (for the scenes) on the camera is from the top of your head to your belly button.
For the slate you can frame it from the top of your head to the middle of your bicep. In your slate, please slate your first name, last name, union status, what city and state you are based in, and one fun fact about yourself. You can act out your scene twice so that the director can see something different each take.
There is no right or wrong way to do this tape. Just have fun!
Thank you very much!!

- Please record two takes per scene.? One scene where you stick to the script (slight ad-libs ok), and one where you take liberties with the script and make it your own. The director is a fan of great improvisers and not tied to the dialogue as it is written.
- Please label tape: NAME_CHARACTER? before uploading to ECOCast
SLATE INSTRUCTIONS: NAME, PRONOUNS, HEIGHT, LOCATION, UNION STATUS, and VACCINATION STATUS. Include a full body shot. We prefer your slate at the end of your tape or as a separate file from your takes.

Title: Dirty Laundry
Role: Gary Wilder
Principal / 55 - 69 / Man / White
SAG-AFTRA / $335.00 per day plus 10%
Gary Wilder is clinging onto the idea of his daughter Sarah, the daughter he would push on the swings and who rode around on his shoulders shouting, “Faster, Daddy!” To Gary, his daughter is dead. While Tricia clings to any scraps of a broken relationship that she might have with her daughter, Gary hides under a blanket of denial and disappointment. He doesn’t call, write or text; instead he watches television, finds solitude and sanctuary in the woods through fishing or hunting, or in his woodshop where he works on small carpentry projects for people in town. In a similar way that he is in denial about his daughter, he is also detached from his failed relationship with his wife. They live side-by-side in the same house, but they have separate rooms and haven’t been intimate in more than a decade -- and they don’t talk about it. According to Gary, it is better to close your eyes than to make peace with what is real, especially when the reality hurts so much. Gary is also religious but doesn’t attend church unless it’s a funeral. He has strong beliefs and is anti-choice. He believes that sex is a sin, sex work is a sin, queerness is a sin and whatever happened to his daughter has broken her in a way that can’t be fixed. He holds these judgements even as he has been cheating on his wife for many years. He hides this part of himself and won’t allow himself to believe that he is wrong, that he has hurt anyone or that he has sinned. That isn’t him. He has been having sex with his wife’s sister’s daughter, Robin, since she was a teenager. It was their secret relationship. Now Robin is pregnant with his child and Gary feels that he has the chance to start over -- maybe this time he can get this fathering thing right
Ethnic Appearance: White
Role Ethnicity / Nationality: White
Additional Rate Details: $335.00 per day plus 10% - $335.00 per day, 12 hour days. Plus 10%. Credit/Copy/Meals.
Dirty Laundry is a 30-minute drama series that revolves around Everest Wilder, an adult film actress and mother living in Los Angeles whose life is turned upside down when she gets a call that her mother has passed away. Everest and her young daughter, Cedar, travel home to Oregon for the funeral where Everest finds herself coming face to face with sexual stigma and shame, past lovers, homophobia, and haunting childhood memories. The series has a powerful mythical Persephone/Underworld theme that folks relate to on a core level.

Rate of Pay: $200/day
Location: Surrey, BC
Storyline: Eric is sitting in his therapists office, recounting a life defining event for what must seem to him as the hundredth time. Years ago, when he was a small child, he awoke to loud noises coming from downstairs. It being Christmas eve, he excitedly went downstairs expecting Santa, only to witness something that he would never be able to forget.
Role Name: WILLIAM/MARTHA
Role Description: 35 to 60 years old, male or female. Any race. William/Martha is a therapist and has been seeing Eric for several years now. They've been getting more and more impatient with this case, as they truly believe that they're impossibly close to cracking into the root cause of his problems. They are a warm, paternal/maternal figure.
Audition Instructions:
The gender of this role hasn't yet been decided, so we appreciate your patience if you applied for the role of Martha and it reads William in the script. In this scene, you are helping your patient relive (once again...) a life defining core memory, something that you know to be a fabrication. In this session, and in this scene, Eric makes progress, progress that excites you - could he finally be getting close to some moment of clarity?

Thanks!
Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre
TRIBES
GENERAL NOTE TO ALL: Argument is the love language of this family and they have elevated it to an art form. It should be stunning and not off-putting. It is essential to look beyond the arguments to find what this defense is protecting and to carve out moments of sympathy, pain, and humor.
All characters are British. Dialect assistance will be provided for the production.
Christopher: Male, 50’s-60’s. Jewish. White. He is the Patriarch of the family, a writer and intellectual who values language above all else. He loves arguing and winning. He is extremely opinionated and blunt to the point of being callous and cruel. Though he has a deaf son, he thinks sign language is irrelevant. He cares for his children and his family in his own way – at times displaying a disarming tenderness.

Role Details:Detective (Voiceover)
Production Details: Casting a 2-minute video for a dermatology conference educating doctors on psoriasis with a film noir-like script.
Seeking Talent: Male, Ages 45-70
Languages: English (British)
Role Description: lower tone voice with gravel; a good reference is Mickey Rourke from "Sin City", any of his monologues. The direction of the read should be that the character sounds like they were in charge at one point, and proud of the place he once lived but it has all turned to shit. And he is defeated, almost hopeless. He’s a broken man that is brooding, recalling all the things that went awry. There should be a “Film noir detective” type of flare, not saying the VO artist needs an old timey NYC accent, but it could add a little dimension.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Role Details:British Voice(Voiceover)
Production Details: Casting 3 voices to read 3-4 :60 second scripts that will be posted online. Looking for friendly, diverse, enthusiastic voices that do not sound too corporate.

Classical Hollywood Gangster, American Accent, Voiceover, Untitled Primary School Drama - SHORTLIST!
From: Charles Leversha: dir.-prod.
Hello. You have been placed on the shortlist of applicants for the part. I have selected you amongst a group of others because A) I found your previous work interesting, or B) I enjoy some of your submissions and would like to hear more. I’ve attached the lines again for convenience.
Here are the instructions I’d like you to follow.
Firstly, remember to record with proper equipment and in a place with no background noise. If there are problems with your audio, then I likely cannot select it. Submit a recording with exactly two takes. Below is context for how I want you to play each take.
1. Colombo had to climb the ranks for years before he gained control over Chicago’s speakeasy circuit. He thinks Tony’s “get rich quick and flaunt your wealth” schtick is not only pathetic but potentially dangerous to his own business. Colombo wants to scare Tony straight.
2. Play the dialogue however you like. Surprise me!
Please keep the dialogue at a tight pace. Don’t let a single take run longer than 18-20 seconds.
Also, remember that Barrow sounds like “bare-oh”, not “bar-oh”.
To anyone with union affiliation and representation, I would like to remind you that, since I am filming on a low budget, I can only pay you $100 AUD (this will be noted in the talent release form I send you if you’re selected).
Email it to me in MP3 or WAV format and include your name in the title. Please also include “Shortlist Applicant” in the title of your email.
Send me your recording no later than Thursday, August 26. That’s all. Happy recording!

Audition Instructions
Hello and thanks so much for your interest in the feature film BLACK FLIES! At this time, we would love to invite you to submit a self-tape. At this stage of the casting process, we’re asking talent to answer interview questions rather than memorizing sides as it’s very important for the director to get a sense of talent’s energy and personality. The director likes to work in a documentary inspired way, that incorporates personal mannerisms into the creative process. If talent could put themselves on tape in either an indoor space with natural lighting or outdoors location (if sound allows), that would be preferred (if possible, we would like to avoid a studio set-up). A natural look is preferred (little to no-make up, everyday clothes).
Please find the slate and interview questions below.
Thank you kindly in advance and please let us know if you have any questions.
*If talent is offer-only, please indicate so in the notes and please include a reel or clip. We strongly encourage everyone who is avail to audition to submit a self-tape*
BLACK FLIES // SELF-TAPE REQUEST
Please include separate videos with the following:
1. SLATE
2. SHORT INTERVIEW
3. ACTING IMPROV
4. REEL / CLIP - optional

Title SUPERHERO PROJECT
Union Status: SAG-AFTRA
Short Film for Theme Park Attraction
Casting Director: Brian Nefsky
Audition Date(s): 05/27/2021
Callback Date(s): 06/07/2021
Start Date: 07/26/2021
Rate of Pay: $686 + 10%/SAG Industrial Agreement - Category 2
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Storyline: Takes place in a world where super heroes are abundant.
Role Name THE SHOPKEEPER
Role Description 25 to 45 years old, all ethnicities male. This is a very comical role. The actor should be prepared to wear a heavy prosthetic makeup. Need a real comic/improvisor type with a very expressive face. The Shopkeeper is forever trying to get people to buy his goods. He is a constant presence in the shop on a monitor so even when he's not saying anything he's watching people. Need someone who can improvise on the spot and can do a lot of facial expressions. This role needs a performer will push the boundaries and have a lot of fun!
Audition Instructions
This role has a lot of room for improvisation. The Shopkeeper is perpetually on-camera "watching" the customers. Mostly he is encouraging them to make a selection and buy his wares, but he is also there to make sure they don't break or walk out with anything they haven't paid for. His dialogue is sparse, but his presence is always felt. Mostly through his way of looking at the customers as he forever watches them. Sometimes he is helpful, sometimes suspicious, sometimes threatening and sometimes he is just silly. He is mostly seen head and shoulders on the screen, but occasionally he might come VERY VERY CLOSE to the camera. He may pretend to walk away, only to leap back into frame. For the audition, use the attached very short script as a starting off point and then take it from there. Be as creative, friendly, crazy or ominous as the mood strike you. Remember, The Shopkeeper's goal is to keep his customers happy and coming back to the store, but he won't be taken advantage of. Keep your audition to no more than 1 - 2 minutes in length.

Role Name ALEXIE
Role Description 50 to 65 years old, White male. Alexie is an aging hitman for the American Russian mob. He has the tattoos of the Vor Y Zakone: symbols for those he has killed. However, like all of us, he has a family with problems. Only his problems are more extreme. While Alexie was doing his second stint in prison, his son was assassinated. Now, he is on a mission to take out the people responsible.
Alexie, considering himself a soldier rather than a murderer, goes about his assassinations with "Due Process" according to him. He models this "process" after the American justice system, which he has an ironic love for. Alexie is the ultimate pragmatist in a darkly comic way, allowing him to make fun of death even when it involves himself or family members. True justice and fairness are more important to him than his own desires or needs.

It’s painfully obvious that the undead monster is just a teenager caked in makeup. But just when Bucky’s dream feels most distant, a strange meteor lands in his back yard. Walter Le Boeuf picks up the iridescent space rock. It dissolves into his skin, turning him into a brain-eating zombie.
After much deliberation, Bucky decides to solve his production value problem and use his undead father as the star of his short film. Bucky casts VIVIAN VANCE as his lead actress. She’s a limelight-hungry middle-aged dimwit with zero acting skills. For his assistant, Bucky recruits a pre-med student named JUNE.
Bucky lies to everyone about his father, telling them Walter is a method actor who always stays in zombie character. Bucky manages to meet the Moonwaltz festival director, DICK, and screens his footage for him. If he can woo Dick, they’ll be a shoe-in for the festival. But the screening is an utter failure.
Dick hates Bucky’s footage and crushes any hope of getting into the festival. Then, while feeding Walter, Bucky's best friend gets bit and turns into a zombie. Bucky is at his low and is ready to call it quits. But a run in with June reminds him of where his passion lies: fun, bloody genre filmmaking. Bucky had been trying to make a high-brow bloodless zombie drama because he thought film festivals wanted artsy material.
Bucky decides to follow his heart, face his blood phobia and turn his film into a fun, gory comedy.
Role Name DICK BOEING
Role Description 60s, male, Caucasian. Overweight. A no BS jerk who runs the fictional Moonwaltz Film Festival.

here is the text for that...
Well if I was a rich republican pulling down a hundred thousand dollars a year as an executive director of the sierra club or National Wildlife Federation I would call earth firsts terrorist too. I am surprised they haven’t claimed we get our money from Momar Kadafe. The simple fact of the matter is is that there is terrorism in the national forest out in the wilderness, but the terrorists are the national forest service, the us park service, and their ah corporate masters. All we’re doing is trying to become part of the wilderness, and acting in our own self defense. That’s not terrorism, that is the common right of every good American.
Sides are attached, please keep them private and shred when finished.

November 22nd, 1963... I was in third grade just about to go out to recess. My teacher stopped me and said "Bruce, go out to the flag and lower it half way." When I asked why, she said "Because our president is dead." and she broke down in tears. I remember standing there crying with her and hugging her for a little while. Then, I went down to the flag pole and lowered the flag half way... It was a very sad day...

I went to several "computer shows" in a row and was able to deliver a large quantity of new material effectively. Much of what my computer work involves has occurred and been developed on the internet and is "cloudified". Some of the techniques and applications applied to writing software now were created AFTER I stopped writing code! So, it becomes a fun learning experience! THREE MORE YEARS!

Happy Labor Day Weekend everyone! I have taken the week off from my computer job this week. I am using the time to begin my memorization of the role of Lear in the play King Lear by William Shakespeare. Also, during my vacation, as I have done for the past fourteen years, I have done a mailing to all of the Casting Directors on current television shows that are not on hiatus. HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL!

Yesterday, I got a call from a group doing a production out here in the Hi Desert. They are shooting a film on a very low budget and was asking if I wanted to participate. I was soooo tempted to say YES! The problem is, it is being filmed non-union. Although there are tricks that can be played, like listing me as an Executive Producer, or some other capacity on the film, and then working as an actor in the film, I simply cannot bring myself to take exceptions with the rules of my union, SAG-AFTRA, in order to work. I worked too hard to get my card and will in no way jeopardize my status! I have a plan! Six years from now, when I retire from my technology job, I will be heading to L.A. to audition for anything and everything union that I and my agent can find!

DARN! I was in Atlanta, GA attending the OpenStack Summit! I HATE MISSING AN AUDITION!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday, my wife and I attended a performance at the University of California, Riverside main stage theatre. It was a One-Person show put on by my good friend, Eric Barr, who has headed the Theatre Department there for more than thirty years! The theme of his production focused on the life events he has been experiencing over the past two years. It has been an extraordinary journey filled with many medically induced obstacles. I was so glad to see that his indomitable spirit is still quite vibrant and has and is seeing him through! I admire him greatly!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today my wife was watching the film, "Panic Room", starring Jody Foster. She asked me if I remembered who was in the film besides Jody. I named off Dwight Yoakam, Forrest Whitaker, and that other guy whom I could not name. She said, "He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor this year!". I knew right away it was Jared Leto!
I realized that "Panic Room" had been done in 2002. More than TEN YEARS from when he won for his terrific portrayal of Rayon in "The Dallas Buyer's Club"! It just reminds me that PERSISTENCE can pay off!

I was SO pleased with the results of the SAG Award voting! For the very first time, I picked all but TWO of the winners in every category! I totally thought that American Hustle should get the nod for Best Emsemble, I was also quite pleased that both MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY and JARED LETO won for their performances in The Dallas Buyer's Club. Jared had truly blown me away with his creation of the character Rayon. LUPITA NYONG�O certainly deserved the award for OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE, though I also thought that OPRAH WINFREY gave an extraordinary performance in the film The Butler. BRYAN CRANSTON and the Ensemble definitely deserved to go out with a bang for Breaking Bad! I was also happy to see MAGGIE SMITH and JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS for Downton Abbey and Veep respectively. I had been hopeful that Rush would have taken the award for OUTSTANDING ACTION PERFORMANCE BY A STUNT ENSEMBLE IN A MOTION PICTURE. MICHAEL DOUGLAS looked great in sequence for Behind the Candelabra as did MATT DAMON. All in all, a very good year for films! It is on my Bucket List to attend this event!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Happy New Year! I hope that each and everyone who reads this experiences a joyful 2014! So, here we are with a whole year gone by without a role landed. You know, I could be discouraged, but instead, I prefer to focus on the fact that I had several very good auditions this past year. I am so looking forward to the new year and every possibility that it brings with it! In my mind, I only have six more years of working in the computer industry before being able to devote my time fully to landing jobs as an actor! You never know, it could happen sooner! 8^)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, it's past Thanksgiving and onto Christmas and New Years! I hope each and everyone of you have the happiest of holiday seasons! For me, it is a time to reflect and wait for my next opportunity to practice my craft. Sometimes it is hard to wait, but it beats the alternative! 8^)

The sheer joy of watching my granddaughter and grandson play soccer on a lazy Saturday is a truly uplifting experience. It reminds me of when I was free to play and have fun on those long summer days growing up in Inglewood, CA. There was always a pickup basketball game in the school yard across the street, or a soccer game being played at Darby Park only a bicycle ride away. Those were definitely the days!

Just got my first audition of the new YEAR! Google/ VW INTERGRATION Industrial/ Internet at Susan Turner Casting in the role of Dog Breeder! I thoroughly enjoyed the experience! Quick comment on the Oscars: Very glad for Ben, Very sad for Tommy Lee, Very surprised by Chris!
Well, it's that time of year again and we have been watching all of the nominated films and documentaries getting ready to vote! We have watched Lincoln, Argo, The Sessions, The Master, Silver Lining Playbook and Les Miserable and are headed to see Zero Dark Thirty this weekend! I was sad to see that Eddie Redmayne was not nominated as we thought he did an excellent job! Hugh Jackman SOOOOO deserves something, but he is up against Daniel Day-Lewis who I believe will win! BIG Kudos to Ben Affleck for Argo, both acting and directing! He did a splendid job of both! Helen Hunt and Sally Fields were both incredible, but I think Anne Hathaway will come out on top! It might be a dark horse but I believe that Silver Lining Playbook was the outstanding screenplay! Alan Arkin was wonderful, but I hope that Tommy Lee Jones gets the nod!
I just added my newest headshots to the web site! I hope you like them!

My wife and I went to ALASKA for a whole TWO WEEK vacation! It was my first real vacation for more than five years! We visited many towns, and spoke and ate with the Eskimo people! We saw many Glaciers, Flora, Whales, Dolphins, Otters and Seals indigenous to the area! Also, while I was away, I got a call for an audition for a Feature Film, Vanished which was requested by Lindsay Chag Casting in Venice, CA! What a wonderful way to come home!
I FINALLY got my Hair Cut! After five years, I decided to cut my silver locks and donate my FIFTEEN INCH PONY TAIL to the Locks for Love program at Super Cuts in Apple Valley!
On Wednesday, August 1st, I was asked to audition for a new TV Series entitled Touch starring Kiefer Sutherland. The audition for a Co-Starring role, was held at Central Studios in downtown Los Angeles for Schiff/Audino Casting! I am so excited at the possibility!
One of my very special friends, Mia Fasio Truxaw, celebrated her 60th birthday at a theatre in Canoga Park. I was asked to participate in celebrating Mia's life story, filling in some details of our days at Immaculate Heart College almost forty years ago! I also participated in presenting scenes from Mia's play, Brother's Grimm, Sisters Wild, directed by Mia's son, John Truxaw, to celebrate the occasion! Happy Birthday, Mia!

I FINALLY got another audition for Hallmark Cards in the role of Santa! The audition was held at Alice Horn Casting in Hollywood!
I know that some of my fellow professionals were not thrilled with the merger between AFTRA and SAG. However, since the merger has succeeded, let us make the best of the new situation. I have been a member of all three professional unions for more than eight years and look forward to any new opportunities to work that the joining of SAG and AFTRA may bring. Personally, I hope that eventually, SAG-AFTRA is joined by AEA to form one Actor's union with one mission, obtaining more work for its membership!
OMG! I just got calls from Ron Howard, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and Tim Burton asking me to take a leading role in their latest projects! Which one should I take? 8^)

I had my first audition of the new year for the California Lottery in the role of Prospector! The audition was held at Kathy Knowles Casting in Santa Monica!(and I got to visit my son at the Nike Santa Monica store too!) What a TREAT!
Well, the ball is, once again, getting ready to drop on a prior year, and to be raised to celebrate a new one beginning! My family and I had a tough one, suffering the loss of several family members, but we also had an incredibly fortunate one too! My new job in the computer industry, working for Hewlett Packard, has ended up being an extraordinarily good move. They are sending my wife and me to the Bahamas in February as a reward for my hard work and effort. That sort of thing has not happened in my thirty plus years in the computer industry! On the acting front, I had a slew of both commercial and theatrical auditions for products like the iPhone, and Mercedes Benz and films such as We Bought a Zoo which was recently released! I just know that if I keep at it, the persistence will pay off! Some day, you'll be looking at your TV set, or watching a film at a movie theatre and you'll see my shining face! At that moment, please stand up and say, "Holy Moly! He did it!" 8^)
I just wanted to take a minute to wish all of you the very best of the holiday season! May all of you have a very Merry Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate!(and a Jolly Ho-Ho to ALL!)

Also, I performed the role of Mr. Conklin in the AFTRA Radio Play, Our Miss Brooks, directed by Bob Telford! The performance was held at the Wells Fargo Theatre in Los Angeles on October 27th, 2011 in front of an audience of 200 viewer! I was SO excited to have been in such a wonderful production!

We remember the disbelief, fear and anger when we turned on the television to watch the morning news to see pictures of the North Tower burning! We remember watching the bravery of he first responders heading into harms way as the South Tower fell! We remember the moment when our free and open society was changed forever by a small band of extreme terrorists! We remember the sense of closure we felt when we learned OBL had been killed! We will NEVER forget! God Bless America!
For all those who toil in relative obscurity in this most difficult profession; for those who work at several other jobs just to have a chance at working in the profession we all love; for those who continue to strive through countless rejections seeking a chance to work, I wish you all a Happy Labor Day! For those who work continuously at this craft, I am in awe and wish you continuing success!
We just had our first table read for a new pilot prospect entitled PotStop, a new sitcom written by James Best, Sky Elobar and AJ Smitrovich and directed by Bradford May! I have been asked to play the part of Keith, the proprietor of the facility. The cast is a wonderful mix of characters, the director is terrific and the writing is extraordinarily funny! I am so looking forward to shooting the first few scenes later in September!
I went on another commercial audition at the Casting Underground in Hollywood for the Bravo Health Channel on August 4th for the role of Bike Shop Owner! Wish me luck!
Today I finally dragged my web site into the Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook age! This only proves that you can teach old technology dogs new tricks!
I went on another commercial audition at Armstrong Casting in Hollywood for the VW Beetle on July 7th for the role of Old Faded Hippie! I certainly fit the part 8^) Wish me luck!
Happy 4th of July! I hope that each and every one of you are able to spend time with family and friends in celebration of our independence as a nation! We live in very interesting times with attitudes and divisive ideology dominating the political and social landscape. I hope that beyond the rhetoric and ideological debate, we can take a little time to remember that we are all part of the same American community and work together to resolve differences and improve the quality of life for all! Happy 4th!
It's Father's Day tomorrow! I would like to wish all you fathers out there a very happy day filled with the love of children and family. I always feel a bit sad on Father's Day... My own father passed away when I was so very young that I do not ever remember celebrating that day in any other way than to go to the cemetery and clean off my father's head stone and say a "Hail Mary" or two, a ritual I still try to practice when I can... Actually, I guess it's not such a bad way to remember him, as I do with great fondness! Happy Father's Day!

I have an audition scheduled for the role of Amish Farmer in a commercial for Purolator Oil on Monday, April 18th at 20th Century Fox for Alan Hooper Casting. Wish me LUCK! 8^)
I had an audition scheduled for the role of Dr. Peter Martin in the film The Test on Sunday, March 20th. Unfortunately, I had to fly to Houston, TX the same day and had to leave before I could get in to do my audition! Too bad, really. I liked the script very much! 8^(
I had such a terrific time watching the Oscars last night! I hope all of you were as thrilled as I was that Mr. Colin Firth won for Best Actor and that the film The King's Speech won Best Director and Best Picture honors as well! I had really hoped that Geoffrey Rush would have taken the Best Supporting award, but I am not unhappy that Christian Bale took home the honor! He definitely deserves the recognition for all of his fine work! I have made a promise to myself to, just once in my life, attend the Oscar ceremony! It would be my dream to be there with the hope of snagging one of those beautiful statues, but I'd be happy just to be there as a seat filler! 8^)
First, I would truly like to wish all of you a very Happy Valentines Day! I don't know how many of you saw the Chevy Volt commercial played during halftime of the Super Bowl game, but, there was a brief visual of Ben Franklin and his kite at the beginning of it that I had been auditioned for TWICE! Although I did not get the part, I ALMOST got it! Since auditioning, my wife, Lisa, has been calling me Bun Franklin! 8^)

I am now up on L.A. Casting for Commercial work!
Well, I finally took the plunge! I have left my previous employer to join a new computer company,Hewlett Packard. My new position will allow me more time in Los Angeles to pursue my acting career more vigorously! Also, new on my web site, very soon, I will put up my new Actor's Slate on Actor's Access to assist in promotion by my agent, Jerry Pace with Casting Directors! I hope you enjoy viewing!
I have been sooooo busy with my day job in the computer industry for the past year that I have been neglecting to pursue my passions with the same vigor. Recently, I took a break from the computer gig and sent out mailings of my new headshots (the ones you see scrolling on my home page,) to both the Franchise and ATA agencies in Los Angeles, seeking new representation for Film, Television, Stage and Commercials. So far, I have received three responses requesting interviews!
Well, it's that time of year, again. Time to remember all of those brave people who have served, fought, and the many who died serving our country! They deserve extreme gratitude from each of us fortunate enough to live here! Politicians start wars. Soldiers end them.
Just wanted to take a minute to wish all of you a very Happy Easter whether you celebrate for religious reasons, like bunnies, or just to want to eat some chocolate! Whatever your persuasion, I hope it was a happy day!
Last week, I received a phone call from Andrea Rueda, Casting Director for an Independant Film Company, Insomnia Pictures asking me to come in for an audition on Thursday for a co-starring role for a new T.V. pilot, working title INSOMNIUM. The role was that of Romanovsky, a Russian speaking landlord. I was, once agian, perfect for the role! So, I began the process of figuring out how to my entire schedule (working at my computer company) and intended to fly back from Phoenix to Burbank the next day to attend the audition! This time, before I could call them back, they called me again to reschedule to Sunday! Voila! no conflict! I attended the audition and was told I did an excellent job by the director, Scott Powers and producers, Ruby Cantu and Jeoff Hanser! C'est la vie aussi!
Last week, I received a call from my agent, Jerry Pace, (the first one in a while mind you) on Wednesday night telling me that I had an audition for April Webster Casting in a co-starring role for a new T.V. pilot UNDERCOVERS by Bad Robot Productions. The role was that of Henri, a French speaking Cryptographer, deciphering encrypted data for some Undercover Operation. I was perfect for it! So, I rearranged my entire schedule (working at my computer company) and intended to fly back from Phoenix to Burbank the next day to attend the audition! I got to the airport, checked my bag, got onto the aircraft, waited twenty minutes on the ground and then was informed that ALL flights in and out of Phoenix airport had been canceled due to whether. I got off the plane, called April Webster to let them know that I would be unable to attend my 3:00 p.m. appointment (they had rescheduled from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. to accommodate my travel...) I then called my agent to let him know... I then sat on the curb outside of the baggage area for Southwest Airlines and cried my eyes out for about an hour... Oh well, I keep telling myself that someone who needed the job more than me was able to get it as a result of my absence. C'est la vie!
I just want to take a minute to wish each and every one of you a very joyful holiday season and a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year!
I have finally gotten my new headshots on line EVERYWHERE! You can view them from my new web site at: http://www.brucebasilmathews.com. I hope you like them as much as I do! They are quite different from my prior batch. A little more gritty and a lot more real! No more studio look!
I have now moved my web site to a new Internet Service Provider, Yahoo! My new web address is: http://www.brucebasilmathews.com. I Hope you will visit me there!
More excitement! The film The Human Contract written and directed by Jada Pinkett Smith that I had a small role was released on DVD by Sony Home Entertainment on June 30th, 2009 and is now available on Pay-Per-View on most cable services!
On August 3rd I received a call from my agent, Jerry Pace letting me know that I had an audition on August 4th for the Emmy award winning TV series, House, starring Hugh Laurie! Of course, I would have to be in Phoenix, ARIZONA at the time working my Day Job as a computer geek for PayPal when the call came in. Naturally, I dropped everything and made my plans to fly back to Los Angeles, CALIFORNIA, to show up for the audition. There I was, sitting with a group of about ten other actors, all in Business Suites and Ties while I sat there in my khaki pants, knit shirt, and tennis shoes. Of course, I had forgotten to pack my headshots and resumes just for the occasion! but there I was, standing in front of Amy Lippins, the Casting Director, with all these thoughts running through my head! As a result, I probably did not read as well as I am capable of reading. Of course, spending most of my preparation time flying didn't help! Lessons learned. Be prepared, even when you are off doing your Day Job! You never know when the phone is going to ring with an opportunity!
On Monday, May 18th, I finally received a call for an audition, the first one I have had in quite a while. The audition was for the NBC Webisode, CTRL Z, a comedy in an office setting. I was auditioned for the role of Arthur Piller, CEO of the corporation. The show is directed by Rob Kirbyson and produced by Thomas Bannister. The two had teamed to create a movie short of the same name that won at the Vancouver Sundance Festival in 2008!
I am so excited! I just learned that the film The Human Contract written and directed by Jada Pinkett Smith that I had a small role in will be released on DVD by Sony Home Entertainment on June 30th, 2009!
Okay, it has been a while (about 4 months) since I have had an audition... I am getting crazy! I have started to carry around a sign that reads "Will work for audition!"
It has been a while (about 3 months) since I have had an opportunity to audition... I am getting antsy! I am currently in the process of getting new headshots taken. It has been about three years since my last set were taken, so it is time! They will be added to my current set on this web site when I have them. I have lost about thirty pounds, have allowed my hair to grow rather long, and have shaved my facial hair completely off. I hope this new look will stimulate some activity! I am constantly reminding myself that what I am attempting to do is not an overnight process. I am so looking forward to taking my next step in the endeavor to advance my career as a professional actor!
Ten years ago, I made a commitment to myself. I committed to the goal of becoming a professional actor. My ex-wife told me, at the time, that I was not good enough, and that she wasn't ready for me to try to do this! Leaving everything behind, I set about achieving my goal (less my ex-wife.) In the years that followed, I performed in many small, but critically acclaimed stage productions, countless movie shorts, produced, directed and acted in a production of Shakespeare's Othello at the Stella Adler Theatre in Hollywood, CA, and sent out thousands of mailings of headshots and resumes to agents, casting directors and production companies. From these efforts, I have been fortunate enough to have obtained an agent, Jerry Pace, The Dedicated Agency in Van Nuys, CA, obtained my Union card in the American Federation of Television and Radio Actors, AFTRA, for work on The Young and the Restless at CBS, earned my Union membership in Actor's Equity Association for performing in a production of First Monday in October at the Odyssey Theatre with Ralph Waite, and finally, obtained full membership in the Screen Actor's Guild, SAG by performing as an actor in Jada Pinkett-Smith's film, The Human Contract that aired at the Caan Film Festival last year. My new wife, Lisa, has lovingly been by my side for every step of this continuing journey. I sincerely hope that the division of our Union members over negotiations with the AMPTP will not make this actor's path any more difficult than it has been, but nonetheless, I will continue forward to reach my goal!
I just wanted to take a minute to wish each and every one of you a very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year! 2008 was a year filled with hardships and some heartbreak (Literally!) But in the long run, we Americans are a resilient bunch and will get through this time together! Hemingway once wrote, "Life breaks all human beings. Some of us grow stronger in the broken places!" Now is our time!
Well, it appears that negotiations between the Screen Actors Guild and the AMTP (the U.S. Producers) are not going well. It seems as though issues with New Media have put a severe crimp in the give and take necessary for successful negotiations to occur... I sincerely hope that this issue can be resolved in a manner that both sides can accept! I am an actor. I love the craft of acting. I would love to be able to make my living as a performer. If a strike is called, I will support my union, but will truly miss every day that I cannot practice my craft; not just for the financial loss, but rather, because I love acting.
My dear friends, the film entitled The Human Contract directed by Jada Pinkett-Smith that I completed in November of last year was shown again at the Chicago Film Festival and once again got excellent reviews! I hope it will get a U.S. Distributor SOON!
My dear friends, never before in my lifetime has an election held so much importance! Whether you are a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent, please take the time on November 4th to make your voice heard! After all, we are all in this together!
Yesterday, I had an audition for the new Nickelodeon Television Series entitled, True Jackson, Vice President staring Keke Palmer that premieres in November. The part was none other than Nick, who was sort of a Saint Nick character! On the same day, I got an audition request for The Young and the Restless! 8^)
Yesterday, I had an audition for the Fox Television Series entitled, TALKSHOW with Spike Feresten which is in its second season. Originally, the Casting person, Francene Selkirk-Ackerman called me in to read for the role of John McCain, but when I arrived, she had me read for the part of Rupert Murdoch as well! During the audition, they asked me to do some very physical humor! I think I did a terrific job! 8^)
On August 17th, I had an audition for a Cable Television Series on the Cartoon Network entitled, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! for the role of Roger, a legal adviser and a small part as a Judge as well! The show, which centers around a fictitious company called Cinco that makes everything from soup to nuts, is entering it's third season and is being produced by Absolutely Productions in Hollywood. I am REALLY hopeful!
The auditions have have continued to come in at an accelerated rate! On Wednesday, I was asked to audition for the feature film Cut for the role of George, a gay theatrical agent! The film is directed by KC Grim, and written by Danielle Silvie Gershberg.
The auditions have begun again in earnest! Today I had an audition for a small part in the popular TV series Monk starring Tony Shalub. I also had an audition for an independent feature entitled Herpes Boy!
I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish all of you fathers out there a very Happy Father's Day! I hope you were able to enjoy it with your offspring. For the first time in his nineteen years of existence, my son, Aaron, actually bought me dinner! I was completely thrilled and proud of him! I hope all of you had similar experiences on the day! It doesn't take a lot to make us happy... does it? 8^)
The film, The Human Contract, written, directed and starring Jada Pinkett-Smith, and Executive Produced by Will Smith. will have a special non-competition screening at the Canne Film Festival on Saturday, May 17th, 2008 for select U.S distributors. I was fortunate enough to have played a small but significant role opposite Jason Clark in the film.
I think the Writers Strike must officially be over now. I just received a call from my agent, Jerry Pace and I have an audition on Monday. The audition is for the role of Dr. Paul Garrison, a Professor of Martial Arts in a film entitled Ninja for Casting Director Yumi Takada. I am incredibly excited 8^)
Well, here we are already in the middle of March! Hopefully, my medical issue is well behind me now and I am ready to perform in my next film! I hope all of you have a healthy and happy Saint Paddy's Day! Don't drink too much green beer 8^)
It is absolutely amazing to me how quickly things can change! In the blink of an eye, I was in my living room watching football and then suddenly in the hospital having a heart attack! This is how my January 12th went! o Fortunately, I was worked on by some real professionals at St. Mary's Hospital Emergency Room who saved my bacon! I am gateful to be writing this update to you 8^)!
Christmas has come and gone, and a New Year is almost here! I started thinking of all of the wonderful events that have taken place over the past year! My son, Aaron is doing well in his first quarter of college after finishing off high school with a flurry of athletic successes under his belt. My wife, Lisa and I have begun the remodel of our home, something that had been sorely needed for quite some time. The project is almost completed and should be beautifully finished over the next few weeks. I have had the opportunity to reconnect with many of my Australian family members and also been able to grow closer to the ones here in the States. On a personal note, I was cast in and completed shooting of my first major motion picture. The endeavor to achieve that has taken more than nine years; worth every minute of it! All in all, truly wonderful 2007! We here, hope that all of you there, have had a very merry holiday season and will have a happy and healthy 2008!
I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to be on a set, in costume, filming on a major motion picture! On November 14th, 2007 I completed filming on Jada Pinket-Smith's new project, The Human Contract, for Overbrook Entertainment. The role of a mugging victim. Filming was conducted from 2:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m. the following morning! An interesting thing happened after shooting. I had walked away from where we were shooting and asked the Transportation Captain if he would lend me a cigarette. The Captain said "Not today fella!" and walked away. The Assistant Director saw the exchange and told the Captain "Hey... that's Bruce... Our mugging victim." The Transportation Captain came back over to me and said "Holy shit! I thought you were a homeless guy who wandered onto the set!" and he gave me a cigarette. I guess the makeup was very authentic!
Some new auditions! On Tuesday, October 30th, I had an audition for an episodic, The Game,for the part of Mr. Henry, VP of Ecosystems for Home Depot. The show stars Tia Mowry, Coby Bell, and Wendy Rachel Robinson. The Executive Producer is Kelsey Grammer!
Some exciting news! On Thursday, October 4th, I got a call from my agent, Jerry Pace who informed me that I had an audition for a new feature film, The Human Contract, for Overbrook Entertainment. The audition was for the part of a mugging victim. There was only one written line, and I did my best! On the way home from the audition, I got another call from my agent, telling me that I had been called back on Friday. The director, Jada Pinkett-Smith was at that audition! On Monday, October 8th, at about 3:00 p.m., I was saying to myself "well, I got farther into the process that time!" when I got another call from my agent, who now indicated that I had been chosen to do the role! Filming will begin in mid-November! I am THRILLED!!!
On September 11th, the sixth anniversary of the attack on the Twin Towers in New York, I had an audition for the TV series, The Sara Connor Chronicles, set after the events depicted in the film Terminator 2. produced by C-2 Pictures! The following day, I had an audition for a Louis Lamore book on audio entitled The Diamond of Jaru! To cap off the week, I have now acquired my first three minute Demo Reel! Hopefully, it will bring more and more auditions and roles!
Sometimes situations arise that are simply beyond your control! Yesterday, I got a call from my agent, Jerry Pace, who told me that I had an audition scheduled today with Liberman/Patton for the show Las Vegas. Unfortunately, my "computer job" put me in a bunker in the middle of the Arizona desert all day! Normally, I would call in sick, fly back to LA and do the audition, but in this instance, I cannot take that tact. I guess the rule to live by is Do the right thing no matter what you lose to do it!. I look forward to my next audition!
Since joining the Jerry Pace - Dedicated Agency, I have been on several neat auditions for shows such as Boston Legal and a new NBC pilot, Chuck starring Adam Baldwin and scheduled to air in September! Keep your fingers crossed!
As of Jume 18th, 2007 I am now represented by Dedicated, Inc., The Jerry Pace Agency! Though I had been quite happy to have been represented by Michael Zanuck of Zanuck, Passion and Pace, I am delighted to continue to be represented by this new agency!
On June 2nd, 2007, my son, Aaron, participated in the first ever small high school CIF finals played at Dodger Stadium! It was an exciting game, which his LACES team won over Arleta High 4-3 in the bottom of the 8th inning when my son scored from first base on a hit to the outfield and slid under the catcher's tag! I still have no voice left from cheering!

I just received a clip of the feature film, Shining On, a Placer Films Production directed by Jason Fenton in which I played the role of a clairvoyant. The film is expected to be released to the festival circuit this year.
Several new movie clips were just added to the Photo Page of this web site. A Clip from Chosen Few where I played the Cult Leader and The White Room where I played a mysterious Man In Black. I hope you enjoy them!
Travel can be a wonderful, eye opening experience! My wife, Lisa, I and my son just returned from a trip through the Caribbean, touring Cozemel, Jamaica and Haiti from a port in Miami! We cruised on a magnificent vessel called Freedom of the Seas. The ship is sort of like being aboard a floating city, complete with malls, shops, fine restaurants and night clubs. The ruins of Mayan temples in Cozemel were spectacular and horseback riding bareback through the waves in Jamaica proved quite an adventure, too! I feel rested and ready to take on whatever acting challenge 2007 has to offer!
February already! So much progress in 2006! SAG membership, new agent, participating in Equity plays! All very good, positive steps! Moving into 2007, I have to keep reminding myself that professional acting is a lifetime adventure. Success is measured one audition at a time. Roles are earned with patience and persistence. There now, I feel better already 8^)
Well, here it is 2007! What a wonderful year 2006 had been! A great deal of momentum has preceeded my journey into the New Year! I hope that all of you out there in Cyber Space enjoy the same sense of progress and possibility in your lives and the lives of those you care about!

God must be forming a theatre troupe. On Friday, October 7th, 2005 another of my friends and mentors, David Herman, passed away. First Thurston (a consumate stagecrafts person,) and now David, the best director I ever worked with. I had the good fortune of working with David five times over the past fifteen years in everything from Romeo and Juliet to Amadeus. He always gave me tremendous respect as an actor and artist as I did for him. I will miss him greatly.
On Friday, August 27th, 2005, my beloved teacher, mentor and friend, Thurston James, passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home in Reseda, California. Thurston was the most influential and learned teacher I ever had. He taught me everything I know about stagecraft and lighting, but more importantly, he taught me the joy of learning since he was a constant student himself. The world was an exciting and mysterious place with many curious things to find out about to him. He passed this along to me and others that were fortunate enough to have been taught by him. He also taught me how to drive a sixteen penny nail with one blow of a hammer. I am gratefult to him for this and all of the wonderful lessons he helped me to learn.
