I really don’t know if the title has a thing to do with the content of this particular entry, but I like it so much I’m going to use it anyway.
As you may or may not have noticed, that Propel ad I did seems to have been run in everything from Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Us and a bunch of other tabloidy mags to The New York Times, USA Today, both Chicago papers. Now the benefit of all that is that everyone thinks I’m famous and while there’s a buzz (hopefully) I can parlay that into a read for a small part in the new Michael Mann film. Rumor has it, however, that they’re looking for tall, skinny, oddball types, and, well, leastways that’s what I tell myself every time I don’t get a call about it.
Additionally, I’m so broke right now a can’t even pay rent on time, let alone buy a copy of all those damned rags to send to the casting agents in town. Isn’t it funny how things go sometimes? Anyway, I’m not worried; I play the lottery and I know a big break is right in front of me. I’m thinking a beer commercial (or five) will be just the ticket. And, how poetic that would be, no?! Isn’t broke-ness liberating? All things become possible again…
I’d still rather be an actor than any damn other thing I can imagine.Attached are a couple on set photos from the lottery commercial. My talented co-star was Jen Wojan.
Best,
Jake
PS – Seventeen seconds. Hmmm. Guess I’ve got the better part of fifteen minutes coming my way, right? Don’t everyone get all weird, I’m just in a spot this week. Hope this finds you all well!
PPS – Something good just happened! I found my CD copy of Wilco’s “Sky Blue Sky.” Yes, I’m the dinosaur who still uses CDs. This album is like liquid blue sadness pouring over an ethereal ice cream landscape – it’ll change your life if it hasn’t already. Oh, happy day!!!
