holy crap i got a call back

[actn23]

I went to an audition today. The pretentiousness of some of the people in LA makes me want to put my face through a wall. There was this guy who was talking when I got there and didn't shut up until he went into his audition almost 30 minutes later. He once was paid $60.00 to audition as a hand model for SAG, though he isn't SAG himself. He's also a photographer so he took his own pictures for the submissions. Sometimes he's a graphic designer and he designed the logo for a company that has 3 movies in the can. He can't talk about it because he was sworn to secrecy until the films are released. He rides a motorcycle. When he went in to his audition he gave his helmet to the receptionist and asked her to watch it. He assured her it would not do tricks nor would it bite. Dude, you are not that important! And the people around him were eating it up and chiming in with their own stories whenever they could. This is a non-union gig. It's a whopping $150 for an entire day of work. It's not like you're the head of a bomb squad. Or the attending physician at a children's hospital.

Oh. My. God.

I will never get those 30 minutes back.

But, yeah, the good news is that I got a call back.
