Resistance Is Useless
Oh, I have been so schtum on things on my usual social media sources (twitter, Facebook page, official blog) it isn't funny. But, since this journal is fairly locked down, I can indulge in a bit of whinging.
It should be obvious: I desperately want to be the next Doctor. Given my rather advanced age (43 next month), this regeneration will probably be my last, best hope. I have known for several years that the Moff doesn't think much of me-- oh, he hasn't said as much to my face, but The Geek made it clear, once HE got hired as the Official Music Man of the show. Yes, I've been an obnoxious fuck in the past-- but I've gotten better. Honestly! Since the announcement of Matt Smith as the Doctor, I have been nothing but discrete. Even our CJ musical parody of DW met w/ Moff's approval (I let the Geek handle that one of course.) I've been nothing but the soul of discretion.
Still, I can't help but wonder....
a) am I too well-known? I mean, really, not a BIG name, but still, people know who I am.
b) The whole Shardnay/Merlow etc. thing might be a hindrance-- not exactly family-friendly, you know?
c) Could my personal life-- specifically the big fuck-up 10 years ago (FUCK! TEN YEARS AGO!)-- keep me from being cast?
Needless to say, am totally playing by the rules. I used my new casting agent (who I retained some 6 months ago, thank you) to submit CV, reel, etc. I have said absolutely nothing in social media, didn't even acknowledge that my odds are 25/1 (same as Euuuuuuuuuu's!) I'm praying (well, not exactly, but begging whatever powers are in charge) that I get to at least audition. I want to be able to show my mad skillz and my Doctor ability off properly, and then be judged on my performance, not my baggage.
If I had known DW would get a reboot, I wouldn't have fucked up so badly 10 yrs ago. No T, no shade.
