Excitable
Hey folks,
‘Sup?
Jcock livin the dream and sharing it with you crazy readers in Blogo Land.
Well, I left you for a few days, just to keep you in suspense on how my audition went this week. Interesting enough, it went well. Or as well as any audition where i dont scald a baby in a scene.
They finally gave me the name of the movie the day before the audition (yesterday) and the script was a piece of work, thats for sure. An action comedy with Chuck N. Im sure you can figure out the action man’s last name is, but due to certain things i signed, i wouldnt discuss him or the movie title.
So the big guy wasnt there as im sure hed give me some sort of roundhouse kick to the head for being more awesome than him which is a good thing. He couldnt stand the humiliation as i’d laugh off his womanly kick to my chiselled head.
The only issue i have, is that he has all rights to who his partner is, so i gotta play nice and do my thing in front of the camera. I arrive and check out the competition. Man, the ‘talent’ in this town. Honestly, i couldnt see half the guys there playing children, let alone cops. Ive been FILMED with women with bigger guns than these guys.
A couple of them start talkin to me and its alright. I get the lowdown with them saying that the big C is watching behind one way glass at the back of the room. I also find out that they’re looking for a gritty beat cop kinda look.
Im thinking, “ok, so they want gritty. Ill do what i did last time, this time not so much with the burning of the babies deal”.
Getting in, i notice the mirrored wall at the back and think that the big guy is there, so i do my thing. Its an edgy scene where my character “Jimmy” says stuff to the Big C and then gets mad as they’re interrogating a terrorist. My character calls out to bang down on the table a file and threaten this guy, while Big C holds me back.
I look to the camera and do my lines flawlessly, but i add my own edge. I pick up the nearest chair and throw it angrilly at the mirrored wall at the back, expecting it to crack as my character is steaming mad.
Well, let me tell you now that first of all, there was no secret room behind the mirror. Second of all, people still dont take too kindly to random acts of violence.
I was marched out and told to leave before the police arrive.
Honestly, what the hell does this town want?
I get a call back later in the afternoon to state that Big C liked my clip but that i wasnt right for the part, etc etc. Screw that. I WAS told that he did personally request to see my clip which is still a bit of high praise because afterall, “When Chuck does pushups, he doesn’t lift himself up. He pushes the world down”

I must say the reference to your chiseled head caught my attention. Was that something passed on by genetics? Can you still wear hats?
Anyway, I’m sure one of these days they will be giving themselves a karate chop to the groin for passing up someone with your obvious artistic talent. I have a feeling it’s only a matter of time, JC.
Your would-be fan,

Ps. one more question…are you scolding these babies or scalding them? Because if you’re scolding them I’m sure you’re just being to hard on yourself, I mean how hard can it really be?
Just make sure you don’t put baby in the corner.
Nobody does that.

I certainly can wear hats. Mostly straw cowboy hats and baseball caps. But why hide the fantastic that is my hair?
Hah. Id take on big C, but a buddy cop action film with the man would be a kickass advantage for someone of my talents. I had sex with tools, he is a… oh.. well you get the idea..
Ah bschooled, scalding them would indeed be the better term. If burning babies is your thing. I only say yes when its the mothers choice
Id never put baby in the corner though, mostly because id be having the time of my life and, well, id have never felt that way before, im sure.
