Frankie Ray on                            CLIMBING THE HOLLYWOOD LADDER


ALLOT has been going on. 
did the shameless Audition the one liner.have not heard anything don't think i booked that. but im ok with it did not really want to shoot my wad on the show with a one liner.
getting ready to shoot the WHEN KING BATTLE Film this week. its a very cool project a STEAM PUNK stylized film, im playing Hez adviser to the king and Prosecution to the court Tree is shooting the behind the scene shots so there should be plenty of very cool pict's.
 auditioning for 2 Theater projects this week also.

 Need to get back onstage i miss it.
will be sooooo glad to shave this dam beard off. had it for way to long but every time i get ready to do so i book something else with it on. the Theater projects will want the beard im sure. just tired of looking like Billy bob Thornton lol

Should have a few projects completing post any day the Wizard project, the Film i did With Vilmos the biker one. and the Project i did with my Buddy Asante Jones the Post Civil war Short 
so ill put them up as they roll out. soooo tired of doing shorts and one day roles but i guess that's part of the game. trying to stay busy. really want to be on a film for a couple of months with a strong character arch so i can just concentrate on developing a character and working but have been doing favors for others and staying bizzy  had to turn down a film... Horror  4 days work with full moon ent. Scheduling conflicts with the When Kings battle Film... thats how it goes.

The Kings film in much more Creative but less money. good trade off i think.
shot the Pretenders Film last weekend. was different here is a pic and  a very creative shot the still photographer got on set. i saw this tree with a picture Frame hanging about 20 feet high on a very dangerous down slope and this image popped in my head so i jumped up and this is the resulting shot as well.

.tree took this shot of the guy that took the other shot.  In the Film i play Steve Job's creator of Apple compurters, father  its a strange Film but  hay why not here is a couple of shots from the set.

no one noticed, not part of the Film im looking at my pie but look at the napkin i n my lap???
just wrong an accident but  "i LOVE MY JOB lol"
Looking forward to the WHEN KING"S BATTLE  going to be some really cool STEAM PUNK shots stay tuned

SO THAT WAS MY WEEK. SOME OF THE THING I JUST MUST DO WHILE


CLIMBING THE HOLLYWOOD LADDER. 

BOOKED 2 FILMS And Auditioning for Shameless Tv show next week

 CLIMBING THE HOLLYWOOD LADDER 

By Frankie Ray 

Well. sorry to just get back to you. Internet was down at the house for about 4 days.

Im Auditioning for The Tv Show Shameless on Thursday. its one of my favorite show's not really happy about it. its a one scene one line type of thing. basically a throw away. am trying to find a way to make it interesting and memorable. but there is not much there. The trouble with this kind of Part is well its not large enough to get there attention and ma by bring you back on the show again.  once you have done a "BIT" as we call it your basically screwed from doing the show again its in an AA meeting.
 just introducing myself thats it.

 but ill go meet the casting and Its direct to producers. an under 5 part. meaning under 5 lines so they don't have to pay you much at all.
 ill do the aud. meet everyone and probably turn it down. there is value in that. not much money and really no way to make the character memorable its the kind of under 5 one line that generally gets cut out when there pressed to bring the show in on time in editing.  so well see.  Glad for the Aud and chance to meet producers. Hate that with my Resume i have to read for a one liner that is not story pertinent.But ive learned that ya never know. so ill show up and do what i do.

I did'nt have anything going on the last couple of weeks. picked up some Hollywood Wardrobe at an auction. a bunch of stuff from the WB Studio. Civil war jackets. some cowboy stuff.  The collection of wardrobe gets bigger lol

What has been going on. well had a few auditions. 2 to be exact both were Films.
 I booked them both.
1. When Kings battle.
is a very cool project im looking forward to shooting we shoot First week of Sep. 2012.
Its set in about the  12th century with a Steam punk theme and look. Steam punk is the style that if your familiar  with the latest  Sherlock Holmes Film. the wardrobe style is Steam punk.

I play Hez  Adviser to the King and Attorney to the Court. here is a pic of what i chose for the audition.

 so looking forward to that. there are some more picts of the entire outfit on my Facebook page  http://www.facebook.com/FRANKIERAYACTOR


2. The Second Film is Interesting as well.
it is called             "Pretender" the role Of  "THE FARMER - FATHER"
 its about Steve Jobs  one of the Apple Computer Guy.
 here is the breakdown of the character.

Synopsis: We're shooting a retelling of the Steve Jobs narrative. In our film, he is found by a farming couple as a feral child and quickly becomes a cooking prodigy. But when destiny calls, monsters begin to torment Steve in an effort to turn him to computing. You will be playing the farming parents who find the 12 year old Steve in their outdoor shed and decide to adopt him. 

For this scene, you're sitting on your front porch on a quiet night when, in the distance, you notice a wild fox out on the street before you. This is an odd occurrence as you don't see many wild animals in such an urban area, so at first it's tough to believe what you're seeing. The fox comes closer and you are able to get a better view. It's hurt, so you decide to see if you can get it to come to you so that you can help it. Coax the fox toward you and end the scene with the fox running off into the distance. Keep dialogue to a minimum. We're really looking for the sense of discovery in your face here.  I DON'T KNOW IF YOUR INTERESTED IN THIS TYPE OF STUFF BUT I THOUGHT ID THROUGH IT UP JUST IN CASE.

We shoot this this weekend.
 so that is whats going on. With all the vast amount of Wardrobe i have am thinking about shooting a Short film myself Utilizing all the wardrobe maby something like Time travel. lol i have wardrobe from caveman to current. and a shit load of skill's to bring to bear. Ill have to think about it. any Ideas??? chime on in. im open to any suggestions.

Im still Pluging away and constantly reaching up For the next rung on
