From AJ in LaLa Land
I had no damn idea this blog existed. Great. Another reason to procrastinate. Anyways, to that end, I wanted to drop a line and say hello to everyone. I hope all is well. I keep hearing about Fat Black…and it makes me very anxious to get back to NYC. As for me, here is my very quick update:
My wife and I moved to L.A. 8 months ago. In that time, I have been fortunate enough to be offered membership in an Equity House out here, and I recently completed a succesful run there as the lead in a Stoppard show. From that, I was invited to audition for a film. They wouldn’t tell me what it was, but I read several times, and during the middle of this summer, I got to shoot at Universal Studios for Creepshow 3. (Auspicious. I know.)But, I DID get to have my own trailer for three weeks. Which is totally braggable. That got me a writer’s and producer’s credit for an upcoming pilot in development at Showtime. (I also got one of the lead roles, so that’s sweet.)Finally, my dream is coming to fruition: It looks like I have an offer to mount the long-gestating play…Ishtar:The Musical. I know you’re jealous. Cuase Ishtar is comedy gold. Hey, if they can make a musical about Debbie Doing Dallas, then whatever. In summation, things are great out in L.A.
Mostly because everybody out here is untrained and wants to be on Survivor.
