More tales from a small world

Today I finally got a callback. Nothing big, but glad to have one again. When I was there I ran into a woman I shot a recent local commercial with, and apparently she has a copy of it she's going to e-mail me.

I asked her two questions. Is it ... you know ... cheesy? She said it actually wasn't, which is great. Then, do we all get good air time on it? (There were 7 of us, I think.) And she said we all did, except for one guy: My Pretend Nemesis, which is bizarre, because he's got such a great look.

But it's okay for him. When I was at another audition earlier today at my agent's office, I heard one of them leaving him a message. Apparently he's on hold for one I auditioned for last week. They haven't had the callbacks yet! And not only that, but she assured him that they could move around some other gig so he could do it!

Bastardo! He's a booker. That's what they call him. Good for him!

My actor friend Owen Yen had a nemesis-twin for years, too. His name was Quincy Wong. Owen and Quincy were the only two Asian-American thirtysomething SAG actors working in Chicago for most of the 90s. They would always audition for the same stuff, and trade off bookings. Then Quincy dropped dead of a heart attack at the gym one day. Owen got all the gigs after that---until he decided to move to Seattle. Weird.
