Well, I made all of the appropriate calls to the casting agencies today... to no avail! There were a couple roles I could have put in for, but nothing that I was exactly right for. For example, I was a little too old for one role, not blonde for another one. It's a bummer when you fit most of the criteria, except for one detail. Sure, I could have submitted myself for consideration, but I decided not to. So many people submit themselves for roles that they are "mostly" right for and the casting directors get really upset because it wastes their time too look at people who don't fit exactly what they're looking to cast. Understandable.
Turns out it's a good thing I didn't submit for anything because about an hour ago, I got a call from Jeff Olan Casting wanting to know if I'm available to film on the set of Private Practice tomorrow!
Heck yeah, I am! I was supposed to have my headshots done, but I called Steven and he said we could do it Saturday, and besides, he scratched his eye today and is feeling pretty miserable. Poor guy.
So, all I know right now is that I'm going to be in two scenes as a candy striper. I think I'll be wearing scrubs, but I'm not sure. The casting lady gave me a number to call after 8pm to get the rest of the details. Hopefully at least one of the scenes I'm in will make the final production cut!
All in all, I'm embarrassingly excited!
Wouldn't you be? ;oP

Good for you! I'm proud of you. Keep at it!
My acting friends say don't leave L.A. a day before five years. I know that sounds depressive, but rather it is a mindset that says I love this, I am good at this and I am in it for the long haul.
Besides, being a candy striper is better than being a stripper named Candy!
:-)
