I booked a role this past week in Imogene, the new Kristen Wiig/Annette Bening comedy filming in the city. To say I was excited would be an understatement. I was both shocked and thrilled when my agent (the awesome Michael Rodriguez from The Roster) called me with the breaking news. The audition was about three weeks ago, and I had already forgotten about the part, thanks to a handful of very cool other auditions, including a director/producer session for a pilot, that were occupying my time. I even remember being especially frustrated after that particular audition because I was convinced I had done terribly. Okay, maybe not quite terribly, but not as amazing as I had envisions. I called Alex, as I always do after an audition, rather dejected and then walked to the subway with my head hung low, only to have the ticket machine add $20 to a MetroCard that it declared invalid…after charging me. The transaction was eventually reversed without any work on my part, which maybe should have been my first indication that the events of that day were looking up =)

 

My friends over at The Actor’s Green Room were equally as elated when I updated them. So excited, in fact, that they posted the news on their website:

 

 

It was also my birthday this past week – August 24th. Right on the cusp of two signs, I am a full-fledged Virgo with hints of a Leo. I spent it this year with my family during the day and at a voice over workshop at night (typical me). It was in many ways the perfect day. Alex, who had been out-of-town at a press event for Ford, took me out to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants the next evening. I even wore a dress, that’s how fancy and important the night was to me. Together with my Imogene gig, it was an amazing week. Here’s to a new year, great experiences, and, of course, more roles!!
