Ryan Faces the World

I found out today I got cast in the Human Race Theatre’s production of “Alone Together”.  As Vin Scully would say, I was shocked to my toes.  The audition was exactly three weeks ago.  I pretty much give up hope after a week and a half.  Then I sink into a severe depression for a […]

The 19B hates me. Not sure why. Its only goal in life is to wait until I’m just about at the stop then blow past me leaving me there either running, jumping or crying. The colder the weather, the faster it goes. Today was no different. I’m three quarters of […]

The wife and I saw Capote last night. Hmm. I enjoyed the first hour or so. But the movie didn’t have an ending. Just a beginning and middle. I read Ebert’s review in which he says, “what makes [the movie] so powerful is that it looks with merciless perception at […]

Spring training starts at Dodgertown today. Ahhhh. Every year I do my predictions and this year is no different. This year I predict the Dodgers will win the World Series. You heard it here first. Check back to this post in October. You’ll see. I’m right.

There’s a new gadget out there called a Slingbox. Heard about it on TWIT. As they said on the show it looks like a large Toblerone. It sits on top of you TV and interacts with your DVR/TiVO. As I understand it, you get this thing all hooked up to your DVR and internet connection. […]

The audition went very well. Marsha, the Artistic Director, was there. She gave me a big hug and seemed genuinely happy to see me. The director was nice as well. I felt I performed well and now I just have to wait and see. Its completely out of my hands. […]

Well, nobody is reading this right now. This is first post of my personal blog which will hopefully be part of an expansive actor resource website called theactingactor.com. At this point I’m still working on the design of the site. I only have very basic web design skills so its been a […]
