Hello again!
Happy Halloween to everybody! It's been an exciting month here as the filming "season" kicked into high gear. As you may have heard through the grape-vine or read elsewhere on the web, I was hired as an extra for the upcoming WWII film Little Boy! It's being directed by Alejandro Monteverde (Ali Landry's husband, for those who are curious) and is set to star Sean Astin, Kevin James, and Emily Watson, just to name a few. In fact, I spotted miss Watson at the commissary when I visited the studio for my costume fitting.

Oh, and by the way, we're filming in Baja! The whole production is headquartered at Baja Studios in Rosarito, just outside of Tijuana. Built for the filming of Titanic in 1996, it's played host to films like Deep Blue Sea, Pearl Harbor, and Master and Commander. I'll be headed down in three days and will be shooting for about a week.

I also played one of the lead roles in an upcoming episode of a certain "reality" tv show, which for now will go unnamed. Now that was a unique experience. Not only did I get to "win" a Corvette in an "illegal" drag race, but when threatened, I nearly started a riot with my copious "street-cred".
In other news, I had a great time shooting a spec commercial for Dickies last week! When finished, it will be entered to win a spot in their new national ad campaign. Either way, it was a lot of fun and produced some great footage to use for my reel!
I've been seeing a lot of Yichao, one of my National Theater Institute classmates, lately. In addition to getting him hopelessly addicted to Matt Smith's seasons of Doctor Who, I helped with a reading of his new original play HideSeek a few days ago and he's asked if I'd be interested in playing the role again in the finished performance later this year. Also, he's pushing for himself, Joe, and I to put together a web series! We've only just started writing and are still figuring out the logistics, but I'll keep you posted as it continues to develop. Since Joe's been working like crazy for the last couple of months, our secret audio project has fallen by the wayside for a little while, but hopefully we'll get production moving on that soon, too!
That's all the big news for now. I've got a couple of other things in the works, but I'll save them until I have more details. Until then, keep your eyes peeled! You never know when or where I could turn up while you're flipping channels or surfing the web!
Until next month,
Chuck
