There is no better moment for an actor than the second the phone rings and he finds out he booked a role. That moment happened for me two nights ago, and I wanted to kiss it, or take it home and throw it in bed with me.The good news and good news are that I booked roles in both a commercial and print campaign for a new game for Wii that shoots tomorrow and Wednesday. It’s a kids game, and I’m under a non-disclosure agreement about it until it all airs, so I can’t get into details. But I can say I play a dad, which means I get a whole new family to replace my Hallmark family. Which is great – Hallmark family was really starting to cramp my style.
This is the sixth commercial I’ve booked, and the third since August. I’m really happy about that – work begets work, and here’s hoping I get into the double digits soon. I do, of course, see the great irony in me gladly accepting handfuls of cash to be a dad on TV, when there isn’t enough money in the world to make me be one in real life. Thank you, showbiz.
