Actor Growth

For yesterday’s last minute call it actually lasted till about 3am in the morning. As you may expect, I was tired and slept like a baby. During the day some people asked if the Chinese workers would be needed again and apparently all they needed was the military people. Therefore, that made me believe that my agent wouldn’t call for a booking for sure.

Wouldn’t you know it, when I woke up at around 1:30pm I checked my voicemail and my agent left me a message at about 10:30am asking if I could work on Farewell Atlantis again for another 3pm call time. She even left a comment mentioning how I am probably sleeping still and to phone her back when I woke up. Not too long after I got a text message from a friend asking me if I was going back.

I wasn’t too enthusiastic to go back, but figured it wouldn’t hurt. As expected though, since the call time was 3pm they had already booked enough people. It didn’t bother me too much as I’m generally not too picky about background work as I do it mostly for fun and experience. It just made me think that if this was a regular audition or film part I better have ways to make sure that I wake up for possible important last minute opportunities.
