Reloaded & Rehearsed

After a couple of weeks off from shooting my latest project, I recast a role and have gotten back on track. With a vengeance.

Christopher, an actor who will be working with me on my bar trilogy, has come on to take over the car jacker role for the gritty little drama I wrote. He's a talented guy who came in script in hand and ready to read. I can still see some fine tuning is needed to get the same feeling we had with Quinn. Tonya, my wife, pointed out that Chris didn't seem unsure. In fact, his interpretation was a little to polished. We both agreed that what made Quinn's performance stand out was that the shaky, unsure performance he delivered wasn't contrived. It was real. He didn't have the script memorized, he couldn't get in character and he was just generally unsure.

Thankfully, Chris takes direction well and has a real strong work ethic. He's turning himself over for the first installment for the bar trilogy out right. I have a great feeling about this guy.

Chris is the guy to the left. Mike, his victim, is on the right.

We're on the road again!
