On the carpet the other night I met a commerical actor that I recognized, and we talked for a few minutes. Apparently I was the first photographer to ever recognize him and take his picture. I mentioned that, in addition to being a photographer, I was also an actor. So, he's setting me up to meet with his commercial agent. Commercials can be really sweet gigs! If you can nail a national commercial, you can pretty much take the year off and live on residuals. I've already had a couple of friends of mine that landed jobs like that. Now it's my turn, damnit!
I have mixed feelings about it though. I really want to do film and television, and once you've done a bunch of commercials, I worry about the difficulty in transitioning over. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what comes up!
