Today in Vaughn I shot Day 1 of 2 for a spot called, "Happy Faces" for Unico. Good family fun that was very efficiently produced. Just a couple of takes of a couple of different actions and "check the gate" followed by ".....and that's a wrap people!" That's what I'm talking about.
Tuesday (31st) has me back for Day 2 of 2 this time in the role of the Chef. We shall see what the menu has in store...until then...eat well!

Audition for TV New Series--Can You Live Without?
A new reality type program will have its pilot air early this Fall and I auditioned for the role of the Host today.
It was improv style wherein I had to host a few segments of a mock episode on the spot. Segemnt 1 was my intro to the show, myself and today's featured segment (fictitiously created on the spot) and the affliction/obsession/addiction they possess.
Stage 2 was another segment where I had to outline for the viewers (i.e. videocam) what the alternative method of corrective action was going to be in order to change that person's negative behaviour pattern.
And finally, wrap up the show advising viewers what the outcome was, and join us next week for another episode of Can You Live Without?
Check it out this Fall on Global. Sounds good. Stay tuned for an update within the next few weeks.
Up next? Shooting a scene for a TV spot for Unico Foods on Friday in Vaughn.

Shooting TV spot Tomorrow -- Project Fragrance
Sweet!
Received a phone call from the producer of Project Fragrance, late Monday evening (last night) and was booked for fitting today. Good thing I had the presence of mind to bring a few options with me, as the Wardrobe person did not have me on her shot/talent list.
With some mixing and matching, it was decided that I'll be the father/husband in the Xmas spot wearing the red shirt. No, I'm not Santa. It is to run Nationally in the US. Nice.
Met some really great people today as well, including Eva Redpath whom I enjoyed taking an Audition Dynamics class by Ron Leach, last Fall. Eva will one of the great dancers. Don't know if we'll be in the same spot.
While waiting I received an audition call for the role of HOST for new TV series, "Can't Live Without." Double Nice.
My week is, Wardrobe today, Shoot Wednesday, Audition Thursday, then Shoot a different TV spot for another client (Unico Foods, this one airing nationally in Canada). Triple Nice.
It's a good week.

Red Hot Poker Tour: Season 9 @ Molly's KW
2nd place tonight. Heads-up I was extremely short-stacked. Built up to 1/3 of total, woke up with KQ suited in the small blind. Raised to $18,000 and was called. Flop came A-6-7, two clubs. I pushed all-in for $35,000. Big stack said, "I have a straight draw". He thought for about 10 seconds, then called me with 10-8. He showed a gutshot straight draw. Turn was a blank, and the river filled his straight with a 9 - game over.
