My Dog Ate My Blog

This is the only excuse I have for not writing. If I
had a dog, perhaps the alibi would hold water. Cats
and hamsters aren't the usual suspects when one is
searching for an animal to blame for the
disappearance of one's work; snakes (such as the
now-permanently named Kenny) are also not the usual
suspects, but a very good choice, there being
something Biblically nefarious about them. If Kenny
hadn't been busy the past week shedding his skin, I
could've conceivably made him the culprit, but he was
both timid and surly the whole time, and really
couldn't be bothered with something so mundane as
this. (He's much fresher looking now.)
The last 10 days or so have been mildly eventful. I signed on to do two more readings: First up on Oct. 6 is a revised version of The Bones Of Giants, which we presented at Ensemble Studio Theatre in March. I will again play Buffalo Bill and flinty westerner Abe Hardwood. In early November, I'll be reading the role of John Honeyman in a new play about George Washington and certain events surrounding the Battle of Trenton. Exact date has yet to be determined, but I'm jazzed to be working with director Hilary Adams and Julian Rad, of WORKS Productions, who just impressed the hell outta me with their production of Moby Dick.
I also had a preliminary interview (known as a 'pre-screening') over at Law & Order: Criminal Intent. All this means really is that they've seen my work, and now I'm in the "pool" of actors to be used, should the occasion arise that they require somebody just like me...Still, they could not have been nicer. I was, of course, happy to have been summoned, and I hope they do require somebody just like me. And, I was seen for the National Tour of The Exonerated. I have no expectations about the result of this audition, but it was kick-ass. The tour begins October 7, so unless my phone rings in the next five minutes or so, I'm SOL.
Oh. I also had my flu shot today, courtesy of AEA, SAG, AFTRA, and The Actors Fund of America.
