Now You See It, Now You Don’t.

"There's no such thing as a sure thing in Hollywood" sounds like a phrase that's been uttered a thousand times before. In fact it probably has. In my previous post I celebrated that I was going to sign with BMG models, it was in my mind a sure thing. I received a call on Monday evening explaining that there had been a miscommunication and that they didn't want me to sign with them for print modeling (curious, "come in on Tuesday to sign your contract" doesn't leave much room for miscommunication). When I heard this, I was visibly disappointed and crestfallen.

The flip side is that the rest of the conversation went something like this "However, our sister agency Avalon Artists is interested in meeting with you about commercial acting representation. You should expect a call from them within the next two weeks." Afraid to dream again I figured this to be a gentle let down.

Lucky for me and what's left of my optimistic heart, I received a call the following day from Avalon Artists. I'm scheduled to go in and meet with one of their agents on April 1. I just hope they aren't fans of April Fool's Day. In essence I traded a so-so sure thing (commercial print agent) for a fantastic not-so-sure thing (potential commercial agent). I'm now pulling together and preparing monologues for this meeting so when I am asked "do you happen to have a monologue prepared" I can actually pull something out of my back pocket and show 'em what I've got.
