hey grant thanx 4 the 'fo. i don't need an agent unless i'm getting professional gigs, right? what's the deal with television series & stuff, is anything shot in perth? i think the only television made here is 'maurice meade' hair salon commercials... i don't have the discipline 2 be completely anorexic - i'm normal weight so i can't be a model - but i have the face & height for modeling, hence my interest in its sister profession - acting. i finished high school 2 yrs ago & that was the last time i did any drama. my renewed interest in performing comes from my friend mark naglazas telling me i should pursue it cos i have the looks & personality 4 it, & by my reflection in the mirror! also, i have a great ego & thick skin - 2 prerequisites 4 showbiz. unfortunately there's about 3 billion other wannabes on the planet so i won't be burning my books anytime soon... but it looks like fun & i'd like 2 give it a go. any suggestions on how 2 get started? does amateur stuff get u any exposure?
anyone know how far away melville is from the city center? which is closer 2 the city - kalamunda or melville? (don't know south of the river well).
thanx kids

Talent? Schmalent!

I've auditioned hundreds of talented people. The difference between someone who will do the role and someone who might eventually get cast one day is skill, determination, dedication and a willingness to learn that expresses itself as an overwhelming thirst for dramatic truth.

Call me about an audition when you learn differently.
