Bowling Miscia Casting

Here for an audition for Bluebloods. Even if I don’t get the part, these are people I’d like to make a good impression with. As you can see, they cast some big shows.

It never rains, but it pours…

So, you can go weeks without any sort of action as an actor, then all of a sudden blammo! Today, in short order, I had to get wardrobe notes for Sunday’s shoot, learn lines for the same shoot, plus self-tape two auditions for feature films that shoot in November–all in the few free hours after…
