Callback: “Snapple” @ Dowd/Roman Casting.  I felt that this callback went pretty well and I think I connected with the director…in a good way.  I had a good time with the other actors as well.

Fitting: “Dude” @ Palisades Charter High School.  In and out in 10 minutes!  Gotta love that!  Wardrobe fittings are funny.  I literally met this woman and 30 seconds later I was in a small trailer, the door closed and stripping down to my underwear.  Honestly, it makes me just a little uneasy, lol.

Audition: “Snapple” @ Dowd/Roman Casting.  This is a funny spot and the character is perfect for me.  I think it went well…after the session director worked with me on a few takes.

Audition: “McDonald’s” @ RMB Casting.  Any commercial with kids is a good time for me.  I didn’t have any kids to work with in the room, but just the thought of it makes me smile. 

Audition: “Toyota” @ Spot Casting.  Meh…we’ll see.  Maybe I’ll get lucky and get to the next phase in the process.

Callback “AT&T” @ Cathi Carlton Casting.  This callback was a little bit different than the original call.  In the end I think I did okay, but I think I should’ve “gotten there” faster.  The director worked with me, so hopefully, he saw…something in me, lol!

Wow, that was quick.  I’ve been released from my avail for the “Geico” commercial.  NEXT!

Audition: “Priceline” @ RMB Casting.  I was paired up with a woman for this one and I think we did a great job together.

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Yay!  First call of the day is informing me that I’ve been placed on avail for the “Geico” commercial! 

Audition: “Hyundai” @ Petite, A Casting Company.

Callback: “Geico” @ Francene Selkirk Casting.  Good stuff!  Not much more I could do in this callback.  Hopefully the next step is an avail!

Audition: LaQuinta @ RMB Casting.  This was a great time!  Very small, subtle work.  I HAVE to get a callback on this…right?

Audition: “Maytag” @ Ross Lacy Casting.  This didn’t go so great.  Not at all “horrible”, I just really felt like I was in my head and not too connected.

Audition: “AT&T” @ Cathi Carlton Casting.  This one went pretty good.  I am really right for it too.

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Happy Birthday to you Mom!  I love you and I miss you!

Audition: “Geico” @ Francene Selkirk casting.  A fun spot, I think I worked well with my partner.  Hopefully we’ll both get called back.

Audition: “McDonald’s” Lisa Pantone Casting.  I just love auditioning with children!  I work really well with them and we always have a great time in the room.   

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Yay!  Today I was offered a role in the low-budget indie entitled “DUDE”.  The director is Olivia Milch, the daughter of NYPD Blue & Deadwood creator/producer/writer, David Milch.  Oh yeah, I accepted the offer!

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Audition: “Criminal Minds” @ Scott David Casting.  I’ve been in for this show countless times over the past two seasons and I think this was the best audition I’ve ever had there…even better than the time I booked a role on the show in the first season.

Audition: “Invega Trinza” @ Craig Colving Casting.  This was incredibly simple and I think I showed well.  I used to go in for this office quite frequently and I’m glad to get back in there!

Oh yeah, yesterday I was pinned for the potential low-budget film offer from last week.  One more step in the right direction!

Callback: “Auto Zone” @ Francene Selkirk Casting.

This morning I received an email from my theatrical agency for a potential offer for a role in a low-budget feature film.  The casting director, Tannis Vallely, is requesting my demo reel to show to the production team.  It’s a smaller role and just one potential day of work, but needless to say I’m completely thrilled on countless levels.

I first met Tannis at a CD workshop back in March of 2000 and she has since been nothing but amazingly kind, helpful and supportive of my career.

Audition: “Fresh of the Boat” @ CFB Casting.  This is another audition that came from dropping of photos.  There wasn’t a whole lot of dialogue, but it was fun.  I went for two different roles…hopefully I’ll get one of them. 

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Audition: “Audi” @ Sonnenberg Casting.  Callback or not, I had a great time in the room with my fellow actors!

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Audition: “Criminal Minds” @ Scott David Casting.  This went pretty good.  I got a redirect and I think I delivered that redirect well. 

Audition: “Auto Zone” @ Francene Selkirk Casting.  Great time in the room!

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Audition: Diet Dr. Pepper” @ Ross Lacy Casting.  This was a great, fun time in the room.

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Shooting: “Walmart” @ Caviar.  Day Two.  This spot is with Actor/Comedian Craig Robinson.  He wasn’t on set yesterday, but he’s here today.  Nice guy and fun and funny too. 

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Shooting: “Walmart” @ Caviar. Great to be on another set!  Plus, evidently there was some mix up and I was given the news that I am also working tomorrow.  Great!  I’m just glad that I don’t have a conflict for tomorrow.  

Most of the time, for me, was spent chatting with the other actors and waiting for my turn to shoot.    

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Yeah!  This morning, while attending the SAG-AFTRA Wages & Working Condition Meeting I got an email that informed me that I booked the Walmart commercial!  So excited! 

Fitting: “Walmart” @ Caviar.  This fitting didn’t last very long.  The wardrobe department had shopped for me, but not from Walmart.  The client wanted me to only wear clothing from the retailer.  In and out in 5 minutes…and I still get paid.

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Callback: “Walmart” @ ASG Casting.  Wow!  This was a great callback.  I left the room feeling really good about it.  Hopefully, I’ll get an avail call later today or tomorrow.

And yes, this evening the news came in that I’ve been placed on avail for Walmart.  Love it!

Table Read:  “The Mysteries of Laura” @ Burbank Studios.  A friend of mine that I met while shooting a commercial years ago, has since become a writer for a network show asked if I’d consider being a part of a table of a script.

It was so much fun!  I met the creator of the show, the entire writing staff and several actors I’d never met before.  Thanks Margaret!

Audition: “Criminal Minds” @ Scott David Casting.  Hmm…I think I “over propped” myself for this one…which also meant that “the work” was lacking.  I didn’t walk away feeling so great on this one.

Audition: “Walmart” @ ASG Casting.  Wow, I really feel like I “nailed” this one.  Simple stuff and DIDN’T push too much.

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Audition: Clash of Clans” @ Ross Lacy Casting.  This was a really simple audition, but I left feeling that I, somehow, pushed too hard in the room.  

Audition: “Veep” @ Allison Jones Casting.  This was another audition that I got from directly dropping off my photo at the casting office.  I felt like I did well in the room.  Definitely a show that I should be on.

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Audition: “Girlfriend’s Day” @ Barbara McCarthy Casting.  Wow, the ladies in this office are just beyond wonderful and sweet.  They even called me in from dropping off my photo and resume at their office last week.

I think the audition went well and I think just getting a callback on this would be great.

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Shooting: “Bubble Gum”.  This was the faith-based shoot I spoke of a few weeks.  It was very different as I hadn’t work with a student filmmaker in a long time.  The director was very much a stand up guy with a very clear mission.

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Audition: “Amazon Frog” @ Ross Lacy Casting.  Quick, fast and fun.

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Audition: “DirecTV” @ Francene Selkirk Casting.  This went great and SHOULD have callback written all over it. 

Audition: “Lowe’s” @ Ross Lacy Casting.  Fun time in the room.  I feel so, incredibly fortunate that casting directors like Ross Lacy & Francene Selkirk, etc. call me in so often. I need to make them proud and book something soon. 

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Audition: “REI” @ Ross Lacy Casting.  This was a fun spot.  I think I made a poor choice of wardrobe and that got me in my head a little, but I think one of the 3 scenarios I performed in went pretty well…that’s better than none!    

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Audition: “UPS” @ Spot Casting.  Quick-fast in and out.  I was so good in the room!

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Audition: Pepsi @ TLC/Booth Casting.  I’m never sure how things go at this particular casting office because the session director, Leland, is just so interesting.  Actually, truth be told, I’m never sure how things go regardless of who the session director is.  I felt like I was “acting” a bit too much, but I’ll let the powers that be make that decision.

I arrived back in LA this morning after my 2 ½ week vacation and tonight I’m back on the floor waiting tables…talk about a reality check! 

Shortly after I got to work a fellow employee said that she had a customer that was looking for SAG actors for a web series and gave me his card.  A while later the gentleman approached me, introduced himself, gave me a quick rundown of what he wanted to do and asked if he could call me tomorrow.  Well alrighty then…

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Audition: “Truth Be Told” @ Jill Anthony/Gillian O’Neill Casting.  Since I’m still on vacation, this is going to be a self-tape situation.  I’m not at all an expert on the self-tape thing, but I have to get better at it and, in fact, embrace it.    

I was pretty happy with how it came out even though I was super pressed for time…and not really in the head space to audition.  Word came back later that my agency and casting liked what I put together and my choices.
