I was On face book the other day and saw a Posting about a Western Film they were Trying to Raise money for. there are some sites that allow Everyday people to help fund Films. it was on a Friends page who is a 1st Ad For Films. 1st Ad's basically Run the Set.
I Don't Donate to those thing. However i love westerns and left a note. "Will Donate my Acting Skills"
Director leaves me a note to send him a pic and resume.
They loved my stuff and both dir and producer face friend me and we start a conversation. come to find out he produced a film some of my friends did and i liked the film Venice Bound. won some awards. he sends me the script.
I must Admit its is an incredible Script.

Here is a character breakdown from the site of the Role
ANTON STICE – The darkest and deadliest character to ever set foot in Religion. A Nihilist or Satanist, take your pick, with no respect for any human life but his own. His guns have taken more lives than consumption and he never met a card player he couldn't cheat or kill
Long Story Short. They want me to audition for one of the Leads the Role of Anton Stice. 3 weeks later. I send the Dir pict's of about 7 of my actor friends that are perfect for the film. he calls them all in. Whoo hooo love to help my Actor peeps along if i can. everyone loves a western.
Now if there was ever a western role written for me this is the perfect one.
It is one of the starring roles and the whole film hinges on this character.
Gambler/ most deadly gunfighter in film and The Devil.
here is a pic of me and my boys i took to the audition.
my read on the character is that they are not revealing that he is Satin until the end. everyone is a gambler and came to the town of Religion from all over the world.He is a deadly gunfighter/Gambler so i took him to have money dress well,be deadly in his manner yet with a little personality.
worked on it for a couple of weeks thought allot about costuming. and character choices. Went to the Read. did an intense ,small Good Actor Film audition. most everyone booked the role they read for. ya have to understand this is a no budget film but talented director and incredible story and script. Director said producers had a different look in mind for That role. they had looked at most all my commercials and when i talked on the phone to him and producer they just gushed over my look and work and "your Perfect for this role"
Its the kind of role That Can break you out of the pack of actors at my level and get you notice by the powers that be. in Hollywood. no money but a great opportunity. Dir. said he loved what i did at audition but all did not agree and need to. so they are still looking. but wanted to rewrite the opening scene to include me. in the film."
small part however sets the tone for the film.
? Loose the co starring role to get a small part at the beginning? Put my ego aside and said ok. its with an old friend of mine Buddy Friedman "on Far Right" that i brought to Audition. and well want to work with him. Like Loosing a star model for a crack head. lol
Such is life in the Acting World. We bring our years of experience to The Creating of a character and understanding of the story and make a choice.
Sometimes its the Right one Sometimes Not.
IM Blessed i work allot and have 4 national commercials running with one more due out. but dam would have loved to play this character.
everything in my life is for a reason.
I like the director and love the story and Westerns so i will lend my skills to the project and keep the channels open. ive learned to keep my ego out of life and my business as much as i can.
That's how it goes while "Climbing the Hollywood Ladder"
