How I got cast for the coffee commercial

Having success as an actor takes a lot more effort than what most people think.

Bullets of things I did and stars than had to align in order for me to get cast.

– Joined that agency 8 years ago

– I help the agency as a casting associate providing talents

– The production assistant is my friend from another commercial we shot before and believes in my talent

– I ran to do the audition last minute phone call

– Got a speeding ticket for it

– Parked illegally in the street to make it on time

– Had to hide from police and wait for him to leave in order to get my motorcycle

– I have a personal relationship with the agency owner and we regularly have coffee together

– I dressed up specially to look good and formal for the part

– I have confidence in my acting, which gave me calmness

– I smiled and made some jokes as I entered the casting room to create familiarity / Public Relations

– I used my own experience through memory of events of my past to recall a similar situation as requested by the director

– I said goodbye to each and every person in the casting venue

– After the casting they requested for IDs and pictures with shades, I supplied in 30 mins

– They requested for pics with normal eyeglasses, I supplied

– They want me shaved, I said yes

– They asked for several pictures of today to see it is the actual me, I did so
