Smoked and AVAIL for Home Depot!!!

Posted on April 29, 2010

Hi all-

Been pretty busy lately.  I booked a webisode series called “Smoked” with some guys from Dreamworks.  Webisodes are short TV-style programs that are created for use on the internet.  Many producers are using this vehicle to launch their own shows in the hopes that it will gain a following on the web, and then become viable as a program on either a cable or a broadcast station.  There are a number of shows that started out this way on Comedy Central.  The most famous one probably being “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” on FX.

“Smoked” takes place in a marijuana dispensary, for the most part.  I’ve never been in one of those places before, but it’s totally surreal.  There is weed EVERYWHERE!  It totally smells like a college dorm room.  The story revolves around me, my sister, and our childhood friend, Ben.  There’s a ton of crazy characters that come in and out of the shop, and in the first few episodes, a proposed tax on our “product” leads to some pretty hilarious misadventures.  Jenn Gaw was the casting director, and her, my other actors, and the crew have become really good friends in a short amount of time.  5 shoot days, and 3 of them are night shoots.  That means my call time is around 8pm and we shoot til around 7 am.  Crazy, right?

Not to mention that on Wednesday morning I got home around 7am, slept for 4 hours, went to a Sears callback at 1pm, then a Home Depot callback at 3pm, then a short nap, then back to set at 8pm Wednesday night.

Hard to believe that under all that delirium I’m on AVAIL for the HOME DEPOT spot!!!  WooHoo!  Hope it works out.  It would shoot later next week.  I’m just kind of drilling and painting in the spot.  It doesn’t really call for my acting prowess, but the cash is green either way!   Prayers are totally welcomed!

Tonight is the last night of shooting for “Smoked”, then I go and record some more VO for Medal of Honor from 12-1pm tomorrow (Friday), and then I’m probably going to sleep all weekend.  Rip van Winkle style.

And not to beat a dead horse, but if you’re reading this and didn’t get a chance to see my Ghost Whisperer scenes, you can watch them here.

Thanks everyone!  Hope all is well with you guys!
