I attended a screening of Mr. Crocket at the recent Screamfest in Hollywood.
It was the first time that writer/director, Brandon Espy, and I saw it on a big screen.
And it was GLORIOUS!!!
Hearing the audience's reaction to particular scenes truly made my day!!!
While at the event, Brandon told me that our terrific, horror short film was in production as a feature.
WITHOUT me!!!
I know, for many, that info would have been a tough pill to swallow, but I understood. The people paying for the production wanted an actor who had major credits.
And I am not he.
Of course, I wanted to know WHO booked my role, so Brandon told me.
After I left the screening, I looked up the actor and read his credits. Turns out he was an actor in a TV show I really liked.
Good for him.
I told Brandon I'd really like to attend the premiere of the feature film.
Production was halted because of the SAG strike. I suspect it'll be up and shooting again soon. I mean, as long as SAG members ratify a vote to end the strike.
Honestly, I'm not losing any sleep over the fact I wasn't booked to expand on my role as "Mr. Crocket."
I understand.
I fully understand.
It's showbiz.
It's just showbiz.
