- I'm at this casting director workshop today. Hangin outside the studio beforehand I introduce myself to this one guy; he looks like kind of a dork who's REALLY trying to look as "LA" as he can, doing this whole 'English gentlemen' pose as he stands sipping his tea in his designer jeans. But he seems like a nice enough guy: "Hey I'm McKay"..."I'm Dylan, nice to meet you man"..."Ohh Dylan McKay! Y'know that was a television character once (on 90210)"..."Haha yes it was! I got the whole '90210' thing a lot growing up"..."You know I worked with Luke Perry in a film once?" ...OKAAAAY, the conversation started off so promising too. And you just HAD to go and douche it up, didn'tya, McKay? Didn'tya? DAMNIT...
- Out to breakfast with the 'rents on Sunday morning in C-bad, one of the servers comes up and asks me, "Are yoou... an ACtor??".."Um... yeeah?" Turns out he had seen me in "Julius Ceasar" at New Village Arts and "Beard of Avon" at the Potiker. I'm impressed that he even recognized me, considering I looked like the above picture in "Beard" and was wearing pastel togas througout "Caesar". We talked a bit. He was a cool guy.
- Out of sheer coincidence, a girl I worked with in "Dracula" at North Coast Rep a year and a half ago ended up playing my girlfriend in a terrible Cox Communications commercial on Tuesday. She was on "The Bachelor" last season. I didn't have the heart to tell her that the only time I actually saw her on the show was when Jay Leno was making fun of her on The Tonight Show; showing a clip of her tearing up while revealing that her cat was the love of her life. Everyone laughed hysterically... including me. We had a good time though, and made sure to say "COX" as many times as we could while ad-libbing.
- A very "hip"-looking young dude stopped me on the streets of downtown Glendale on Wednesday... "Hey man, can I ask you a question?".."Uh, yeah?".."How old are you??".."Uh, 24".."AWWWW MAAN, you're too old!" Turns out dude was a "scout" for MTV looking for other "hip"-looking 18-21 year olds for some stupid MTV "reality" dating show. Even if I was 21, I'd never sell my soul to that network. I'll never forgive them for destroying contemporary popular music and scrambling teenie-bopper's brains with their "reality" shows and the sugar-coated, watered-down, corporate garbage music the play. MTV is pure evil, although it's cool he thought I was 21, I guess...
