New rule: don’t ever throw someone under the bus. Not literally, not figuratively.
And always let people know you appreciate them, just like the folks at Best Buy did with me. After I bought a new flat screen from them last week, they justified my plea to all aspiring actors by posting this casting call yesterday:
PROJECT: Best Buy
ROLES:
EYE
Male / 25 to 65
Looking for an actor with very big bug looking eyes - think Rodney Dangerfield.
LITTLE PERSON
Male / 25 to 45
Good actors - all body shapes.
UNUSUAL AND INTERESTING FACES
Male / 25 to 55
Looking for very unusual faces - really interesting features - huge eyes, massive noses, massive mouths. very unsymetrical faces.
VERY LARGE MEN 6'4"++
Male / 25 to 55
Over 6'4 and large - over 200 lbs. and the bigger the better
