Stephanie for gLee

Sorry its been awhile since my last post. Not much new is going on. I've been staying busy, mostly working at the movie theater. I'm still taking my acting class and loving it. I haven't had any extra jobs lately - mainly because I have been working a lot at the movie theater - but I am hoping to be able to some more. I have a couple exciting acting opportunities coming up and possible others.

GLEE
The producers of the new hit Fox TV show "Glee" are currently holding an online open casting call to try and find a couple new people to add to the shows second season. Glee is one of my favorite shows as well as a show I have done some extra work on about 5 times. All of the cast and crew are very nice and down to earth - my time as an extra has been awesome on the show. The atmosphere on set is so fun. I have submitted an audition tape for the open call. I would love to be apart of the show as a main actor and am hoping I'll get to. The open call goes until April 26th so I will probably hear not too long after that if they liked my video and want to have me come in and audition for them in person. Please pray for me. I really want to get a role.

So Far in this New Year...

Sorry it's been a little while since I've written a new post. Since my last one I have just been working mostly. I have worked on the new hit Fox TV show "Glee" about 5 times now. The show is such a blast to work on. The whole cast and crew are really nice and down to earth. I am getting more hours and training for different positions at the movie theater - which I am very thankful for! I have seen many movies, probably over half of the ones showing where I work currently.

I also signed with an agency - The Jerry Pace Agency - for commercial and print work. I am very excited! I signed with them for a year and can't wait to start going out on auditions and booking jobs! So far I haven't had any auditions but I just signed with them about a week ago. And they have been submitting me everyday for auditions. It takes some time though. But I am still very excited to see what is to come.

My acting class is still going strong. I have started carpooling with one of the other girls in the class and things are going well so far. I have a couple of good monologues that I can keep in my back pocket (so to speak) in case I ever need it when meeting with someone in the industry. Which is a very good thing and we have been doing improv each week as well. Some cool opputunities are being organized by my acting teacher, which I am very excited about.

All in all things are going well. I miss everyone back in VA but I'm still loving it out here! I am actually fighting some kind of sore throat currently - hopefully it goes away soon. Because I have to work extra this weekend due to the fact that the new Disney movie "Alice in Wonderland" starring Johnny Depp and other big name actors opens this weekend. So they are expecting big crowds. Hey, I'm not going to complain. I can always use the hours. Anyway, that is what is going on with me so far in this new year. Excited to see what God has in store with me for the rest of it!

StarStruck

Back in September 2009, I worked for 3 days at the beach on a new Disney Channel Movie called "StarStruck". I wrote about it back then - if you want to see that post you can HERE. Anyway the movie is premiering tomorrow! So for those of you who have Disney Channel make sure to watch for me! I am in the beach scenes and am wearing all pink. I am beside Sterling Knight (the lead actor) for the beach mob scene. Watch for me and let me know what you think! I had a blast working on the movie and can't wait to see it! You can view the preview for the movie HERE

StarStruck - premieres tomorrow on Sunday, February 14, 2010 @ 8:00pm on Disney Channel!!

Also for those of you who missed me in "CSI" episode #1013 titled 'Internal Combustion' two weeks ago you can watch it online HERE and below is a picture of me in the episode :)

First Agency Meeting

On Saturday, January 16th I met with my first agency. It was an agency called The Jerry Pace Agency in Sherman Oaks, CA. I had submitted to them about possible representation and the owner, Jerry Pace contacted me back and asked me to come in to meet with him. So I gladly did. I met with him and another of the agents in the office. We basically just talked for about 10-15 minutes. They asked me questions about myself, my experience, etc.

After the meeting they said that if they were interested it would only be for Commercial and Print work. Which is not where I want to end up but is good for starters. Most actors have to start doing commercials to build their resume before they go on to TV and Film. They said they would contact me within a week if they were interested in signing me. But I never heard anything back from them. Which is a bit disappointing but such is life. I'm ok with it. That just means that they weren't who I was supposed to sign with. It just means God has something better for me down the road, which I am totally cool with. I'm still submitting to agencies and managers trying to find one. Hopefully I will get one before too long and then I can start working.

CSI (Internal Combustion)

On Monday, December 14, 2009, I worked as a extra on "CSI" the original Las Vegas one. I played a High School Student for episode #13 (of the current 10th season of the show) called 'Internal Combustion'. We shot on location at an actually high school in Woodland Hills. They brought in their own fake high school sign that they had outside the school - on the show it appears as the school's entrance. And all the cars had fake Nevada licenses plates. We shot the outside scenes during the day and once it got dark we moved inside and shot the school hallway scenes. I was in the small group of extras who were the last to go at the end of the day and in total spent 13 hours on set. But I had fun and I can't wait to see the episode when it airs!

The episode airs Thursday, February 4th, 2010 at 9:00pm on CBS. Watch for me I'm in jeans and a red shirt :)

ACTORS I SAW ON SET
George Eads who plays Nick Stokes for a little bit in one of the outside scenes.
Jorja Fox who plays Sara Sidle in the same scene with Stokes and for one scene inside the school.
Connor Ross was in almost all of the scenes we shot. He is the actor who plays the high school student who dies in the episode.
Leonardo Nam was in the scenes we shot outside. He plays Libby's friend/boyfriend Brian McBrian in "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 1 & 2" and he's also in "Vantage Point".
Samantha Droke didn't shoot anything when I was there but I saw her on set and she took pictures for the episode. I know her from the Disney Channel Movie "Princess Protection Program" but she has also been on "Cory in the House", "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody", "Eastwick" and provided the voice of Hildy/Holly in "Horton Hears a Who".

**There were two other actors on set in some of the scenes we shot but I didn't know who they were. Once all the actors are listed, when the episode airs then I will lol.
