Idol Me Blog

From the Blog of Chris Sligh comes this announcement.

Monday, we met with my agent at CAA L.A. and talked about where we wanted to take the career on the acting side of things. We came up with a game plan, and she in return set up meetings with several casting directors. I was encouraged because of her excitement as she realized that I had the energy and excitement to pursue both music and acting. We’re working on getting me into guest spots on existing tv shows, once the strike gets figured out, we’re going to be putting me into auditions for new shows, and we also are going to work on the film side…thus, the meetings with casting directors.

Yesterday, I met with 2 casting directors for major studios. That went incredibly well. I seriously could not be more excited that I will at least have the opportunity to audition and be considered for movie roles. Both of the casting directors commented on my look being quite unique and that, in this case, unique was good. In fact, there are films I’m already being considered for. That, to me, is exciting.

I mentioned this in a former post, but I’ll re-interate and expand. Most actors and musicians who never quite “make it” never put the blame on their talent, but usually put it on the fact that they never got the chance to prove their talent. I’m in a very unique position that it looks like I will get the chances in both arenas. It’s all going to come down to my talent. At least at the end of the day, if I never make it in acting, it will not be because I didn’t get the chance but because I just didn’t have it. I can live with that. When I’m old, I’ll be able to say I gave it my all and got the chances.

On another note: it looks like the winds are finally dying down out here Cali. For the first time, where I am staying I see some ash in the air, but I don’t see any smoke. So, I don’t know where it’s coming from. But all reports I see on the news show that the fires seem to be closer to being controlled. So that is exciting and hopeful.
