ieatcrayonz Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Am I safe in assuming that your belief of the way this industry works is that actors and actresses are solicited on the streets for their roles? There is no casting call, no keeping of names and personal info. in case they lose an actor. They just send people out to pluck them off the streets? You have no idea how these things work. Because they are on a shoestring budget they have to conserve time and sending people out onto the streets doesn't happen. Can you imagine some guy propositioning a woman to be in a soft core porn? He'd be lucky if he wasn't arrested. OMFG dude you have everything figured out, don't you? Just like Sean Taylor. Let me clue you in on something; you don't get a portfolio like mine by not knowing how things work. Anyway if you even admit they are on a shoestring budget then how in the heck can they all afford Rolodexes? That makes no sense at all. Somehow you manage to work an anti-woman theme into the thread too. What a surpise. Anyway, if the poor guy has the ability to act attracted to a "Canadian porn star ", it should get some industry attention. Heck, it may even get him an Oscar.

Did you even bother to read the story of the scam the guy dealt with that I posted? Go back and read it. It's informative. I don't get it. I'm sure there's a reason for that. Think about it.

Just Jack Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 When one of the shots ended up on the cover of a gay magazine and his employer got a hold of it, he was fired. What was his employer doing with a gay mag would be my first question. Oh, and crayonz reels in another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodBye Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I've stopped wearing a watch. My computer and cell phone always know what time it is so I depend on them. Yep, who needs a watch anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Yep, who needs a watch anymore? People whose cell phone is not attached to their hip. I can see me in a meeting with a client and I pull out my cell phone to see what time it is. BTW, what are you doing in this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarkLessWagMore Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 ************** UPDATE ************************ Hey first of I just wanted to thank the wall for there input, I ended up going to the audition. And man was I awful at it. First things first it was a pretty legit casting agency, they had several projects going on the day auditions for the show, advertisements etc. Also HBO Canada`s name was at the bottom of all the release forms I signed Honestly and embarrassingly enough the first thing I noticed like 5-6 guys who were really good looking, looked like they worked out daily etc all holding the same script I had. Next I had to sign a consent form, and indicate I was comfortable with frontal nudity on camera. This was a surprise to me given that I was told by the casting agent specifically `no frontal nudity`anyway I guess they say what they need to to get people in. I signed the form anyway. So first things first went to a room and was photographed in boxer briefs, after that was done I went back into the room. Anyway I chatted with the guy to my left who also had not acted before, he was a sports fan so we riffed on the NHL playoffs and made fun jokes about being auditioning for soft core porn. I passed up several opportunities to read through my script with someone figuring just winging it would be the best (note to self horrible idea). Anyway I finally get called in to read, there are 3 people with notepads in front of them (2 serious looking men and one women), a camera man and an attractive women. we chat a little bit about this I tell them its my first audition etc, make a few jokes get a few laughs over all starting to feel comfortable. The next they they do is explain to me how audition will work, and that it will be filmed etc. Then all of the sudden the good looking women turns to me and says `hey is Lacey in` I slowly realize in horror that that she has just said the first lines of the script I was supposed to commit to memory, after a long pause the first words out of my mouth are `I can`t do this`not as the script should of read `shes not here yet, should`be in round 10.` Everyone is basically stunned and stare at me in shock then they tell me I can do the audition reading from the script, I hastily say yes. I cannot overstate how stupid I looked the very first words out of my mouth were I can`t do this!!!! Can`t believe I panicked like that anyway They hand me the script we take it for the top again, we re do it from the top. I noticed it took people about 15-20 minutes to audition, after I finished the scene the guy in charge told me `well now you can tell people you have auditioned for something`meaning there is no way in hell your getting this part. I laughed and thanked them for the opportunity. My audition couldn`t have been longer than 5 minutes. When I was outside the casting agent who inivited me asked me how it went I said horrible, she laughed and asked if should still contact me about other roles I said yes but I think she was just being nice. All in all, glad I went. I guess I should have put some more work in memorizing my lines, anyway I`m not sure who has the rights to video tape of my audition but I hope it gets burned cause not only was I horrible I`m also wearing this cheesy tank top. Lots of good looking chicks there, but nothing spectacular. This is the kind of thread I lurk on OTW for. Just absolutely classic. Thanks for the laugh and sharing your experience.

KD in CA Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Dude these productions are done on a shoestring budget. They don't have Rolodexes full of names. They probably don't even have Rolodexes at all. Timex maybe. Am I safe in assuming that your belief of the way this industry works is that actors and actresses are solicited on the streets for their roles? There is no casting call, no keeping of names and personal info. in case they lose an actor. They just send people out to pluck them off the streets? Why can't you just man up and admit you were dead wrong about Juan's deal being a scam? Gee, you read a story in US Weekly about a sleazy producer asking someone to sign an overly aggressive release form. Big deal -- there are millions of fame-obsessed idiots out there who will do it in a second, so of course these guys are going to take advantage. Awesome story Juan -- thanks for sharing.

HopsGuy Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Link Foul Audition ... A friend of a friend works in the entertainment industry in LA. I just found him on IMDb and he can best be described as a struggling actor. A few years a ago, he auditioned for what he thought was a dating reality show. He got paid a pittance, but he never heard back. The guy I know him through saw that clip on the Playboy Channel and called him. He laughed it off because it was just him telling someone what he liked in women, then they would show some girl that met the description stripping down. I saw him in Vegas a couple months after that at the bachelor party of said friend and he had added a couple credits to his resume. Tough gig, but he loves LA.
