the right team - Where's the A team when needed???

It's coming up to 2 years since I first arrived in hollywood - i've learnt so much about Los Angeles! For s start I've learnt you need to have a reliable car, which means a toyota or nissan, you got to have Japaneese car,so japaneeeese yes pleeeeeeeease!

Not only have I learnt where north, east, south and west is but i also learnt that one needs to have a great agent and manager to point you in the right direction. Without a great team, i'm afraid that luck is hard to come by and unfortunately in most cases you'll remain stagnant for example working in a 3 star hotel that happens to be 1 block away from the kodak theatre where the oscars are held!!!! not mentioning any names....

a nyway on the acting front i have finished filming 205 - yes its taking longer then avartar to make but we will finish it in the end - i think this project helped me to be sane during pilot season as i only manged 2 auditions during pilot season which sucked - these agents really need to pull their socks up and start knocking on doors............

Aliens or a goverment experiment

Dear bloggers

I decided to be adventures and exciting, so i decided to attend a red carpet event at a scientology building in hollywood. If you have never been to a scientology event or building all I have to say you are missing out - talk about pimp my religion out! The place i visited was amazing - the stage, the music studio, the booth, the lights, no religous building has furniture so expensive and exquisite. Now i know why tom cruise, john travolta picked this religion as they have expensive taste - i dont see a church or a mosque or a temple having a music studio or expensive furniture that isn't purchased from ikea................ so for the record if there is a red carpet event at a scientlogy building - please go as they'll feed you a five course meal and probably sell you a john hubbard book:)

I officially payed my fee's to SAG 2.5k which is day light robbery for an actor, but i guess we gotta keep swallowing our savings and have hope that we will be great one day (obviously we are great but we want tgo be greater)

Has anyone out there ever been to big bear in california? it's a 2 hour drive from los angeles and is breath taking;lakes, mountains and skiing etc - I had this spur of the moment to go and do snowboarding and decided to fufill this desire. After completing a 2 hour snowboarding lesson at big bear (where i totally suck due to my high centre of gravity and poor body to eye cordination) we decided to head home. Now try and imagine this; It's 11pm at night, pitch black, foggy, snowy, the 330 freeway is closed for some stupid reason and we find our selves lost. My GF is driving the car and we are lost at 8000 feet in the mountains - no lights just rain, fog and snow - we stumble on the closed 330 freeway for several minutes,which is totally illegal! now at this point i dont have a clue where to go- suddenly out of nowhere we see this greenball flying in the sky and explodes! no lie a green ball explodes covering the whole sky green - the light was so bright we had to turn away!!! don't ask me what it was but it's either a UFO or the military testing weapeons! 4 hours later we managed to get back to our hotel that was located at the bottom of the mountains, I was so intrigued by this incident that i googled "ufo in big bear" and all these pictures of ufo sightings popped up! now i googled "military base in big bear" - nothing popped up - ummmmmmmmm ! you guys may decided what happened on that day!!!

peace n love

Sharon stone, Mary J blige and a kidnapping!! plus the twitter convention

Last month I fired my bitter french agent, she was hopeless and she exploited many actors by telling them they must pay 80 dollars for her own special acting class (it wasn't acting classes it was cold reading classes on camera, they cost 80 bucks which she pocketed - not cool hollywood) - she had to go as I ran into problems onto my own production "cough cough insurance papers that she failed to get hold of for me"
Anyway i went to this special conference called the 140 conference in hollywood - i got dragged and to tell you the truth it was pants. The convention was full of nerds that follow and tweet one another. The worse thing about this convention was that it cost 400 bucks to get in "WTF" - there were people at the convention who had 300,000, 400,000, 800,000 followers - they acted as if they were A list celebs - one of them got into a conversation with me - i asked him "how many twitters fans do you have?" he replied " I have approximately 344,134 twitters fans and by 2011 that will rise to 500,000 twitters fans. What about you, how many twitter fans do you have?"
i replied "6 and by 2011 i should be in double figures" an awkward silence as usual.....

I saw sharon stone at the beverly hills film festival - was held at the aqua lounge which was a nice venue. Sharon stone said a lovely speach about charity and love.

Then the following week i spoke to mary j blige on my cell - a few friends were chilling at the beverly hills hotel and they bumped into mjb and she was so cool and awesome. She chilled with a few of my friends the whole night and as they called me mary j blige spoke to me and it was a priviledge........

Regarding the hotel there was a kidnapping - a black male and white female stole a car (yep that had this cute bulldog) and teen girl - they dropped the girl off at some random location and kept the car along with mr bulldog.....police decide to show up and these muppets decided to register a stolen car in their name - duh!! police read the list and arrested quicker then a male hardon in a whorehouse!!!

Radio station

Okay so it's been a while, maybe because i have actually been working!

So the latest update:
I signed up with this new french manager who can barely communicate without being aggressive or having some type of hidden agenda where she can benefit. She rides a scooter and has this corn bread look about her. I think i will drop her as my manager as she is very unproductive and charges unnecessary money for boring acting lessons for beginners.............
anyway on more positive news i have finally got my SAG card which i am very proud of and i also prodcued, wrote and acted in my own webisode - www.thegymseries.com so take a look:)

This radio station tried to prank me at work, they thought i could give into their silly questions like - did you take a urine sample when you first took this job etd -wasn't gonna get pranked too sharp - they wanted to give me 500 bucks but i told them to keep it and do some more marketing.............

oh and i saw fat boy busta rhymes at the sky bar - he looks like nutty professor as he has put on so much weight -

Couger

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

drunken midgets, a homelss guy and a couger.

Hollywood is full of weirdo's and super heros with no super powers or work ethics. It's full of hidden agenda with women trying to take money from hard working men....
for example - a mate (jamil) invites us down to a restaurant in westwood as he had a so called friend date with 3 girls - so he asked myself and another mate for backup) - so we had a really nice meal and conversation - when it was time to pay for the bill the girl handed me the bill (yes me the bill even though i am meeting her for the first time as friends) and said "thank you for paying this bill" - i'm not stingy but dont be asking for free stuff....not cool- so my mate intervenes and says its 24 dollars each - she goes ballistic and says "jamil i want to speak to you outside" - they have a full blown argument about the bill - they are not boyfriend and girlfriend just friends - the girl made a horrible account of herself and she disappeared after the meal - it's not about the money biut how you say things.....

anyway we had a bunch of circus midgets show up at the hotel at 2am in the morning - they were high on coke and drunk - the funny thing about this they all stripped half naked and started playing hide and seek in the hotel - jesus christ give me a break!!! but it gets worse - i have a homeless man who begins to perform yoga on the 2nd floor lobby - i confront him saying you cant stay here and apparently the voices in his head told him to meditate right here - so i kicked him out - but he kept coming back - so i called the lapd on his ass - who took forever to come down - worse thing is we had a full blown fight - i won obviously!!! i'll lick my finger and draw an invisble line through the air.

The secret agent who wasn't so secret.

Okay, i thought i'd give you one of those "i miss writing on my blog updates" - since the last time i worked on the bill zucker and kelsey grammer show (kelsey grammer plays beast from X-men or better known as Fraizer" - i did a kick ass scene with bill zucker - the fat bloke that wrote some twitter song that did well on youtube..........

anyway i was working at the hotel and this bloke (he was well built) comes running in and gives me this bag of clothes - he tells me that there are people looking for him and ready to kill him and they want their stuff back - he told me he was an undercover agent and that soemthing went wrong - he said that a tall tranny and another black guy will be coming down to look for him at the hotel - so he said tell them i checked out, plus he wanted to move rooms- i gave him an alias name as he was scared, changed his room and pretended he checked out - he was dodgy as fuck but being i was in hollywood i thought it must be some show of prank - i kept on saying that he was shady as he never showed me his police badge until i confronted him - The tranny and black guy show up at the hotel, now this tranny was 6foot 2 and scary looking. well to cut a short story even shorter - he happen to be a method actor and was writing a film - he offered me a a part :) well obviously this guy is day dreaming and is pretty much a nut case! he is what we call the hollywood lost soul - or dis-illusioned.

oh not sure if i told you this but i shot a pilot called "how sorry are you" and the girl i was working with was a model - after the show i used my charm and wit (and of course my looks) and i too kher out on a couple of dates!!!!! not gonna mention names etc but she is a cute girl - trying to figure out if she is one that i can take home to mama.
