Tomorrow's audition and my Fucken mullet on
CLIMBING THE HOLLYWOOD LADDER
Commercial Aud for
Israel satellite Provider as a low level Italian mob guy getting his ass kicked lol
Here is a problem i run into allot
today The homeless guy has a beard and allot of face hair growth hes homeless and does not shave.
so its a first audition ill most likely get a call back so i shouldn't shave.
Tomorrow's First aud is for a guy that does not have face hair or thats the pic my commercial agent sent in. so i have to go in with a jawline beard and say yada yadda yadda about the beard.
I turn 50 in about 10 days DAAAAAM.
lol im cool with it its unexpected but what ever.
i work allot as you know with stringy hair and face hair looking like shit.
Now work is work and the money is great. who wants the world to see you looking your worst? would you.??? allot of money or not ? and who wants to walk around looking like old shit between jobs ?
ive had my hair long for sooooo many years and well there is not much left on top its more of a mullet now. i would love to cut my hair and go for more distinctive roles middle age lawyer, maby psychologists, crooked senitor, cop etc roles more for tv and or film. i like to work but well i have many other skills and feel i can work just as much with short hair and ya know. its hard for me to play such ugly people Im actually well a sensitive person. not a huge ego but i think we all would like to look our best as we walk through this life. my agents don't me to cut my hair because i work allot with this look. and i understand that ill just be another short haired middle age balding guy. and the hair makes me versatile.
but DAM im really Tired of the Fucken Mullet. and or pony tail.
It's my life and I have to live it and should do what i want.but dont want to shoot myself in the foot.
I think I cut myself off from doing other roles because of my hair but get roles because of my hair.
I really dint want to play the OLD Homeless run down shitty looking guy the rest of my life.
Change is the most constant thing in the universe. and well I think its getting time to reinvent myself . and move to a more mature look. Hollywood can always mess me up if needed.
What do you think? would love some impute..
stop being a insecure pussy? be grateful for the work? get over the mid life crisis? Its your life do what you want?
ReplyDeleteI think if you're in a good financial position to do so, cut the hair and give it a try. Hair always grows back...and the homeless/vagabond look is not hard to fall back into if you need to. Hell man...you only live once, right?

Deletethanks for chiming in your rite it will grow back. I think ? Change is a hard thing. its always scary to change what works for ya. me im Fearless but there are other considerations. all picts have the long hair. casting and directors know me with the hair. Finances are ok but cant take a year with no work. if i cut it ill be basically bald on top with some hair on the sides and lower back. lol its not ego or whining but a true business consideration that can have huge financial impact either way. i need to make that next step up the HOLLYWOOD LADDER. and get my break out role.one way or another thanks for your wise imput hay i can shave it bald and play aliens

ReplyDeleteLaugh if you will, but go to a woman's salon that uses computers to show the client what they will look like with a "new do"... Have them do a work up for you with several different looks/cuts from your current to "skin head"... you will want a "hard copy" on a disk, thumb drive or what ever to take home. After you've gotten your private copies, take them home, THEN post them for viewing/rating. Never you mind the age thing. 50 is the new 35! Get over it! You might use those generated pics and see how they compare with what trends are happening in the industry... make copies, have your "agent" pass them around and see where it takes you. Hope this proves to be good advice...
