it’s not you it’s me

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!
