I seem to be something of a fallback option. I’m not complaining, just pointing out a trend. You see, I tend to find myself in positions such as the one I encountered this weekend: replacing an actor who either booked something else, disappeared, or was fired. Let me rewind.

Early last week I received a phonecall from a director I work with often. It seems a play he had entered in a play festival had received a performance slot. The play is a work that has bowed before an audience at another theater, and the same cast was to return in their respective roles. All was well until the play was moved to a later slot in the festival#–suddenly one of the three actors would not be able to perform. Thus, the phonecall!

And of course I said yes, even though I was also shooting an NYU Short Film in Connecticut this past week.

Even though I’m incredibly busy, I got so sick of my MySpace page looking like poopy that I gave it a big old makeover. Now off to study scripts…

There’s nothing better on a Sunday afternoon than an omelette and drinks with friends.

Enough said.

How do I know? Let’s say a little bird told me on a long weekend…

And it’s your job to stop them.

Seriously, they are: this week there will be a vote to determine whether web presence providers can make some websites "faster" than others. Imagine: CNN does not pay for "preferential treatment", so their site takes longer to load than FOX, which did pay for preferential treatment; or this blog#–I won’t be able to pay for it, so my blog will load slowly. This is just the tip of the iceberg…

The most important issue here is that the Internet, up until now, has been a level playing field#–anyone with the ability to connect can be just as influential and imprtant as anyone else, and enjoy the same ability to publish their work in a manner accessible to almost anyone in the world. This law will make the rich the owners of the Internet. This is terrible for freedom, terrible for Democracy, and another stifling action against the poor and middle class. Don’t take my word for it; do the research (quickly) and read up#–then make a difference. Sign the petition at savetheinternet.com and make your voice heard. 

And here is the proof…
