    Welcome to Carolyn's class. This is the third time for me and I learn something new each time. I alternate between between feeling, "That was OK but I know I can do better," and "boy, did I screw up that one." 

    I plan to enjoy my "Three Days in Tinseltown." Then I'll go back to class and be appropriately humbled. I wouldn't have it any other way!

    Thanks Elaine!
    My father took this vintage shot for my Eddy Cantor audition "Boardwalk Empire" - A lot of prep: music recreation/recording, singing, scripted & improv comedy, dancing, hair cut, etc. The NY casting director (Ellen Louise's 2nd in command, I believe) clapped enthusiastically. The comp of Eddy & I is at:

    Didn't end-up getting the role, but decided to show-up to Grant Wilfley's background casting with the same look, and they featured me in several episodes of this show, and on many projects since then -- it goes to show that we can do it ourselves and that not getting a role doesn't take you out of the game.
    I hope we catch-up in person & work together again soon!
    Take Care,
    Dan.
