Go forth and seek an Angel in an Ocean!

This week will be the theatrical release of "Ocean's 13"! Many
of you know I had a nice supporting role in the film. Now the big question is how much of my scenes (if any) made it to the final cut. Fortunately, a friend of mine hooked me up with some tickets to an advance screening. I'll be viewing it tomorrow (Monday) night. I'm looking forward to the movie anyway but it's especially nice having been a part of this AWESOME project.

When I'm on a project I tend to prepare myself for the worst by expecting almost none of my scenes to make the final cut. That way I'm not so disappointed if it's cut to shreds and I'm happily surprised if it's not. I know, I know, it's a shame I have to syke myself out isn't it? But when we're trying to make our stamp in this business, we hope these opportunites (whether that be from director, casting director, producers, scenes, etc.) will garner future opportunities....it's unfortunate that we sometimes end up on the cutting room floor...but we should know that it's also part of the business. In any case, it's been a Blessing simply to work on this film and these are good problems to have...right?! I'll take it! Smile.

My manager (Bless her heart) tried to make some calls on my behalf to get me an invite to the LA premiere (which is on Tuesday) with no luck. To be honest, I'm kind of glad that didn't go through. I so hate (I know hate is a strong word) having to go through all the hooplah, etc. to try to get an invite to a film you've worked on! Doesn't make sense to me.....but, you know me...turn it into a positive: it's simply motivation baby! I aspire to get to a point where my roles will be big enough, juicy enough, that I'll HAVE to be invited to the Premieres, Festivals, etc. I mean even "Shadowboxer", another film I worked on premiered here in LA...no invite for Angel. Sniffle, sniffle. That's cool, it's coming! I know it is. (Speaking of Shadowboxer, it has been airing on Showtime during the month of May and I think it's still airing in June too...so "Check your local listings!"....if you dare! BOOOHAHAHAHAHA! - Mad Scientist laugh)

On another note, I recently noticed the release date for "1408"
is now June 22nd! Again, I was Blessed to have another nice supporting role in that one. Not sure if I'll get an advance screening to that or not. I'll keep you posted.

So to recap: You can catch yours truly three times during the month of June!

"Ocean's 13" opens June 8th!
"1408" opens June 22nd!
"Shadowboxer" currently airing on Showtime!

If you can, please try to support the films on opening weekend. Directly or indirectly your support does makes a difference!(For those of you who don't know how important opening weekend is...I'll try to explain that in more detail another day.) Thanks and please keep me in your prayers.
