Audition: “Walmart” @ Nancy Nayor Casting.  Hmm…I felt that I was right enough for this, but I was trying too hard in the room.  It just didn’t feel good to me.  That doesn’t necessarily mean I won’t get called back, but it would surprise me…a little.

Audition: “KFC” @ Francene Selkirk Casting.  This went okay, I think.  It was fun, but I'm not sure I'm right enough.

Audition: “KIA” @ RMB Casting.  This was a fun spot and I think I did as well as I could, but I’m not “the guy” for this one.  It’s all good, I’d rather see the right guy do it well.

Audition: “American Housewife” @ Greenstein/Daniel Casting.  You either book it or you don’t…

Another Callback:  “Charles Schwab” @ Sonnenberg Casting.I got a call from my agency this morning at 10:38am, informing me that I have a callback scheduled for 10:45am…yeah, in 7 minutes.

Fortunately, I was at home and able to drop everything (which wasn’t much) and get to the casting office within 22 minutes.  What had happened was that the casting director forgot to add me for a second callback.  I made it there in time and was seen for the original role and two additional roles.  I’m hoping that SOMETHING has my name written on it for this project.

Yes!  Late this evening I got the call that I’ve been placed on avail.

Callback:  “Charles Schwab” @ Sonnenberg Casting.  Simply, it was good.

Shooting: “Lowe’s”.  Today was a good day.  I got all of my shots in the can with, only a few bumps along the way and I really enjoyed my “family” and the crew.  Now, I have to get home and get some sleep before I go to work tonight.

Shooting “Lowe’s”.  I had a nice, long day on set of doing…absolutely nothing.  I just sat around all day, dressed and ready to go, but it was not to be.  I’m back tomorrow to get another crack at it!

Fitting “Lowe’s”, I’m really glad to be here.  I tried on a bunch of stuff and met my “wife”, Kyra and my “daughter”, Milan.  

Audition: “Charles Schwab” @ Sonnenberg Casting.  Geez, I’m so spot on for this spot it’s not funny.  I hope they see something similar.

Yay, at 10:47 this morning, Jamie, one of my amazing commercial agents at KMR, called to tell me that I have been booked on the Lowe’s commercial!

Audition: “Best Buy” @ Francene Selkirk Casting.  If you ask me, I think I’m perfect for this spot…’nuff said. Call me back at least…I’m tellin’ ya, I’m the guy!!!

Callback: “Lowe’s” @ Petite, A Casting Company.  This callback went pretty well.  I had a great wife and “child” to work with in the room.  I say, “child” because, honestly, I’m still not sure if it was a boy or a girl.  We were the first group to go in.  I usually try to avoid that, but it was okay.  We did it once and the director gave us some adjustments and we did it again.  After the second time we did it, I saw the director give “two thumbs up”…I took that as a good sign.  We shall see.

CUT TO:  6:12pm

The call comes in from my commercial agency that I’ve been placed on avail for the “Lowe’s” commercial.  Yay!

Audition: “Progressive” @ Ross Lacy Casting.  This was a great one!  I was in the room with some heavy-hitting women.  I see them on TV often.  It was small, subtle work and we killed it…I think.

Audition: “Lowe’s” @ Petite, A Casting Company.  This went okay, I think.  Usually, when I have a wife and children in an audition things go really well,  his time I wasn’t so sure.  One of the children seemed like he/she was afraid of us, the rest of the family.

Audition: “McDonald’s” @ RMB Casting.  This went well and I hope to be at the callback.

Shooting: “Georgia Natural Gas” in Long Beach, CA.  Nice, bright and early call time of 7am and I didn’t have to work last night, so I’m feeling a bit rested…not always the case.

Fortunately, we were the first spot of 3 for today, because I have an audition scheduled this afternoon, back in Hollywood.  I ran into an old friend from my days in New York and early days here in LA, Marvin Bang, he was also working on this production.

Marvin gave me the good news that he had earned 20 SAG Pension Credits.  I’ve already qualified for a pension as well, but 20 credits is a bit of a milestone that I plan to reach, if not more.  I was overjoyed to hear that news!  I currently have 16, expecting that to be 17 by the end of this year.

A little after 9am I received a voicemail from an actor/CD/theater director and husband of CD that I know.  I don’t know him well, like he wouldn’t have my number without searching for it, but my number would be easy to find.  Anyway, he is directing a staged reading and needed to replace an actor who booked another gig.  He wanted to know if I could step in for him…tonight. 

Uhh…

I hadn’t been on stage, in any form, in a good while and I respect this persons’ taste and am happy that he thinks I can do it on such short notice.   

“Yeah, of course”, I told him.  He said, “Great, I’ll email the script right away”.

We finished shooting, had a great lunch and I was on my way back to Hollywood to my audition.        

Audition: Giovanni Rana Pasta” @ Ross Lacy Casting.  This didn’t go that well.  Not like “horrible”, I was just disconnected and not sure exactly what was going on…or is that horrible?

Staged reading: @ The Road Theatre.  This was a great time, the role was perfect for me and the lead was my former property manager from the first apartment I lived in when I first moved to Los Angeles.  SO glad I got this call!

This has been one, long, day.  Now, I have to go to my night job.  Ugh!

Fitting: “Georgia Natural Gas”.  This was a good time and simple.  I met my commercial “wife”, Cherise Boothe, lovely lady and I look forward to a day on set with her.  It’s always great when you get paid to try on clothes, right?

Audition: “Hyundai” @ RMB Casting.  I think this one went well.  It was certainly fun. 

Callback: “Verizon” @ Petite, A Casting Company.  Eh, not sure what to make of how this went.

But.

I’ve been booked on the Georgia Natural Gas commercial to shoot next week.  Yay!

Audition: “Verizon” @ Petite, A Casting Company.  This went well, I like playing a dad in auditions.

Callback: “Georgia Natural Gas” @ Craig Colvin Casting.  Yes!  This callback went great!  I hope to book it.  It won’t be a big money spot since it’s limited to the state of Georgia AND just for the holidays, but I’ll take it.

Callback: “Phone Project X” @ Ross Lacy Casting.  This didn’t go as well as the initial audition.  I’m not sure why, I was just flat and probably trying too hard.  Oh well, on to the next.

I got the call that I’ve been placed on avail for the Georgia Natural Gas spot.  Yay!

http://www.stephonfuller.com

Audition: “Project Phone X” @ Ross Lacy Casting.  I’m so perfect for this!  Improving with a major comedian?  That’s right down my alley!  I demand to be at callbacks for this…at least.

Audition: “Bosch” @ Schiff/Audino Casting.  This went great!  I would love to book it, of course…or any TV/Film job.  It’s been forever since that has happened.

Audition: “Georgia Natural Gas” @ Craig Colvin Casting.  I used to audition for Craig all of the time, back in the day when his office was in the valley.  I was glad to see him; he’s always a nice and personable guy.  He was even in the room, which is rare, many CD’s monitor the auditions from their office while they are running other parts of their business.

I was very happy with how the audition went!  It’s a Christmas spot…in July, lol!
