Thanks Mom for the good manners!
So I'm in Beverly Hills (among other places) doing drop-offs. This one in particular is to a casting director for an upcoming movie. The role is that of a police officer....not too big, but I know I'm right for the role. So I go into the building and take the elevator...I'm going to the 4th floor and have my headshot in hand. The elevator doors are closing and just out of the corner of my eye....I see a young lady rushing to try to catch the elelvator....she doesn't make it. The doors close but I press the 'open door' button and she smiles and thanks me. No problem. "What floor would you like?", "4 please", "Oh...that's where I'm going", She peeks down at my headshot and sees the casting directors name on the outside and says "Oh, that's going to me!"...I'm like...."Great we're getting work done in the elevator!" We both laughed, wished each other Happy Holidays and I'm off to my next drop-off.
Who knows if I get a call or not to audition....but I kept thinking to myself, how embarrased would I have been if she caught the next elevator up and saw me dropping off my headshot and I didn't try to hold the door. In this business you never know who you're going to run into and where. Just wanted to share.

Smart move!!! You can't afford to be rude to anyone in this town!
No doubt! Thanks for dropping by.
Hey Angel. This is Darin. Thanks so much for responding to my e-mail. I have a question. Drop Offs? Now I hear mixed things about this. In NYC it seems nobody wants you stopping by. So when you drop off, do you just give it to the actual agent/CD or a front desk person? I am doing the classes & seminars, it's the drop off's i'm confused about. Thank you. Your blog is great
