Last week, I got a call from the gal who produced my last couple projects at the LA Film School. Apparently one of her actors had dropped out, and she needed a replacement who was roughly the same age. So she called me up to play Jules from Pulp Fiction. If you’ll recall, the role was originated by the Samuel L. Jackson; an original badass as I live and breathe. I ended up getting the script at about 1am the night before the 8am shoot. I did what I could to learn my lines before sleep's siren song sent me to slumber.
The shoot went well, and I relished the opportunity to work with such great writing. But I was dismayed at my inability to cram the 5-pages of dialogue into my head for the shoot. I just barely got through the master shot which we took at the end of the shoot. Granted, if I’d had more time it wouldn’t have been an issue. However, I couldn’t help feeling that to be truly professional in that circumstance I should know my lines cold even if I've only got 30min with the script.
Anyone know where I can get discounted Ginko Biloba?

Hello Mr. Keith err what should I call you now that you are not at the school anymore. I am glad to see that you have gotten parts down in L.A. I myself was just down in L.A. near LAX and the Burbank airport on Sunday to meet Tony Curtis and while I was there I also met the original Audrey Fulguard (Jackie Joseph) so I was very happy to meet her because I understand that we are going to be do little shop of horrors for are musical this year. And I found Ginko Biloba at this website http://www.discount-vitamins-herbs.net/shoppingGinkgo.htm.
