I'm a Little Superstitious: PART DEUX

Time: August 25, 2007

So about that superstitiousness... I just got cast in a feature that will remain nameless. It will remain nameless because I've learned that nothing in this business is ever certain. Just because you're cast in film doesn't mean the film will ever be made. Just because you film a role in a movie, it doesn't mean you won't end up on the cutting room floor. Just because you're told a movie/commercial/TV show will air on a certain date, doesn't mean it will, even if you've told all your family members, friends and family members' friends to tune in at such and such time. You just never know.

On the flip side, movies you thought would never see the light of day might be seen by millions. Commercials you thought would air for a season might air for years. A role that starts out small might be expanded. There are so many factors out of our control that it would be crazy to try to forsee the future. So, I figure, the only thing I can do is bring my most positive, professional, prepared, generous self to each project and after it's completed, move on and let the chips fall where they may.

To be honest, I'm really excited about this "Film That Shall Not Be Named." I love the story, I love my role and I very much hope that we'll start filming in October or November as planned. All I can do, however, is keep moving forward, keep planning the move to L.A. and keep opening myself up to other opportunities. Because, you just never know.
