When I'm 64...
So I went on an audition last Friday. It was a bit of a last minute thing, but I figured what the hell. It was the second zombie type flick audition in as many weeks.
Anyhow, with next to no time to prepare, I thought I'd done okay in the audition. The director and producer seemed to like what I did, and it being an independent short that was supposed to start shooting this weekend, I figured I had a pretty good shot.
Niggling at the back of my head was the fact that I hadn't had a chance to shave, so I went sporting a full facial hair, which doesn't match my clean shaven headshot.
I got the call yesterday from the director, and he thanked me for a great audition on short notice, but said they were going with someone who looked a little younger. Great I said, best of luck with the shoot, and keep me in mind for future projects. Then I kicked myself in the ass for not shaving.
So today I feel like I look about 18, having removed all the whiskers. And to add insult to injury, I noticed a bunch of un-coloured whiskers as I was shaving. Guess my years of listing 20-30 as an age range are coming to a close.
