A True Balancing Act Live Tonight!!!!

Wow, now that casting is over and locations have been locked down, now comes the juggling portion of actors schedules. You would think that since you have your cast, you HAVE your cast right? bzzzzt wrong!!!. There's so many variables when it comes to an actors availability I mean they could drop out at any time for any reason. The scary ones are the ones where you have no feedback from them through the various communication channels you utilize (Phone, email, FB, txt), I just hate being left in the dark guessing. I know we as actors become very busy, but one of the main skills we need to have in this business is the skill of Juggling. A lot of A-listers who produce their own works, still find time to do that as well as work on their projects they've been cast in. When I have contracts in hand I will feel much better.

I want to make this machine run as smoothly as possible and approaching it from an actor's point of view is helping as well as hindering me. I want to be as accommodating as possible, but if it means having to make drastic changes which might push my shoot schedule back; that's where I have to put my foot down and hurt a couple feelings in the process.

Is it a character trait, or social behavior? I don't know, but I do see how and why most producers are a little high strung.

On another note I've sent in my New Media agreement (2 originals with ink!!) and the Pension and Health Plans Letter of Adherence which will allow me to become a bonified SAG Signatory Company!!!!
