Painting A Brighter Image of Life

I almost gave up on trying to be an actor not to long ago. A couple of months ago, I met a lot of people in the business and went on quite a few auditions and I just kept hearing nothing. At one point I put so much money into it I was almost driven to filing Daytona Chapter 13. The headshots and resumes and traveling everywhere were beginning to take a toll on me physically and my wallet. I took a step back for about a month and just focused on work and getting some money together. I finally bought a decent printer that could print headshots and resumes with out needing new ink every third picture or tenth page. Then I took the time to send out as many as I could. I must have mailed out…I do not know how many but I did not get an answer from anyone. I was almost at the point of saying is this for me, am I good enough. I got a call from a pretty big, well known theatre last week though. I guess everything finally paid off because they asked me in for an audition. Unfortunately I am more nervous about wanting to get the part than actually auditioning. I have to try to not have that mess me up because I do not know when I will get another chance at this.

For a while, my girlfriend was yammering on and on about Jersey Boys, some Broadway play she really wanted to see. At first, I was confused since I thought she was talking about the Jerky Boys. Do you remember the Jerky Boys? They were really big when I was younger. Basically, they were the masters of the crank call. They’d make up characters to play and put on false voices and keep people talking on the other end of the line for sometimes up to an hour about the most ridiculous thing. They even made a movie about them. They used to record their crank calls and release them on CDs like music albums. I had no idea what the Jerky Boys looked like before the movie. For one thing, I was never sure how many of them they were. There were only two and both were out-of-shape guys who wore old clothing that looked like they got it from out of a thrift shop’s garbage. But soon after the movie came out, I stopped hearing about them. I don’t think the movie made a lot of money so I’m thinking that hurt their fame. Or maybe they just had their 15 minutes and then it was over. I’d love to know what they’re doing now. What kind of careers could they have picked up after all that?
