it’s funny how in this business, EVERYTHING can change. in. just. one.
instant.
this is something i can really feel where i am right now. in this moment.
the last few years have been a build up.
it has been a time to learn. absorb. affect.
the biggest lesson was the most simple and yet sometimes the hardest.
i had to learn how to believe in myself.
see, it’s strange because i always did to an extent. otherwise i wouldn’t have made my way to los angeles and started living this very unconventional and terrifyingly unstable lifestyle, which i only say unconventional and terrifying from the assumed perspective of other more conventional and stable individuals, because for me, this feels normal and i honestly welcome a constant flow of change and unpredictability. i crave and relish it.
something new?
slurrrrrrrp.
but yes. there were still layers of the cocoon that needed to be shed. pieces of my transforming self waiting to be exposed. and i’ve been purposefully, carefully, and lovingly peeling the layers back one by one…
this will be an ongoing process of course. as is life. the transformation will always continue into each new phase of my life. but the lesson i had to learn for today, for this moment and for the rest of my life, was to believe unconditionally. to trust. and to enjoy every moment of getting here. through all the hard times and all the successes. each moment has been a building block forming my life and my future. i’m so excited for all the possibilities. both the ones i make and the ones that cross my path.
life is so beautiful in this sense. it never ends and the possibilities are infinite.
i don’t have any specific news to share with you. yet. but in this moment, i celebrate my own private success. because i got what i want.
my life has changed monumentally.
from within.
and i can’t stop smiling…
life is good. life is sooo good.

dearest reps,
we had some really good times, we did. i learned so much about myself. i mean, i kind of grew up while i was with you. you made me feel so safe inside a giant wall of protection. i looked up to you. i let you make all my decisions.
but i guess now that i’m a lil more grown up, i kinda wanna try something new. i wanna see what else is out there, swim in a smaller, more focused pond, and learn from new masters.
please forgive me for leaving you and know that i’m forever grateful.
and i hope we can still be friends.
wuv,
me.
*******
yup. i did it. i had to. i broke up with them. it’s the first time i’ve ever done that and i am feeling super positive and excited for my new representation Lemon Lime Agency. This agency makes me feel like I can just be me. I’m so happy about that. I think it’s a terrific sign that all the photos they chose were photos that I would have chosen as well. I love that. I hear actors complain about disagreeing with their agents on headshots all the time. So I’m psyched and ready to roll.
I also have to give credit to Twitter and its growing community of actors, casting directors, agents, and managers, who have started a very important dialogue together. Actor’s voices were heard and many people benefited and learned from an experiment where agents took general meetings in the month of July. I was fortunate to see my new agent Robin Harrington put out an offer to her tweeps: First 20 to reply with a link their site would be considered for a general meeting. I linked her to this blog, she replied expressing interest and voila, we scheduled a meeting. I was already familiar with her agency and wanted to work with her, she offered, and i took it. Bing, bang, boom. It felt serendipitous.
If you are an actor, I highly recommend you visit Robin’s site, which offers a lot of really great information and advice to actors. I am very much looking forward to working with her and her partner Chaim Magnum.
uh yeah. that’s his real name. fuck yes.
so, i leave you with the new photo lineup. this is how i appear in print to the world of commercial casting. happy friday everybody!
