Starface has never acted.

Don vs. Lamar.

Got to stick with my fellow Josh.

Wasn't chris in that cheap budget rap video

Chris' best acting job was his most recent.

He's been acting like he doesn't suck dick for a week now.

[DonDadda59]

JUST got word I booked a role on Unforgettable. :dancin

Lamar Doom... I'm coming for you nigguh :mad:

[Akrazotile]

Yeah, and a few other things. I had a pretty awesome performance (srs) in a role on Operation: Repo which aired on TruTV but I cant discuss it bc it's portrayed as an actual event, and you have to sign waivers agreeing not to go around saying otherwise. I did some other small independent stuff. If you watch the movie "False Colors" whenever it's released you'll spot me. You can find the Facebook page for it.

The problem for roles in big studio productions is that their stuff is so formulated, and I dont have an easy-to-peg "look" for an archetypal character. So there's just not a lot out there. And quite honestly all that time spent in traffic and auditions was a huge turnoff for me. I like to spend that time learning, discussing, exploring things etc.


As far as skeelz. Im sure our other resident actors are fine and respectable in their craft, but I mean of course I got that MJ mentality. I truly dont think anyone out there do it better than me :pimp:

"Just wasn't enough time."

Was already in my 20s with literally no experience (no school plays, not even playing make believe as a toddler, nothing) and no connections whatsoever when I decided to try it.

[~primetime~]

You guys got links to video clips anywhere? How can we judge without actually seeing some acting?

I remember seeing LamarDoom in a background role on some show, but I don't think he is an actor or aspires to be an actor though. Really I'm not sure what he does, works the set or something like that.

So anyway to me this is Don vs. Star unless I am shown to be wrong about Lamar and acting.

He works the trailers of a lot of big actors who aren't out of the closet yet and need a couple hours of release each day in between shoots.

He's an industry legend tbh.

This is a long winded way of saying that you are 2 ugly for acting

That didn't stop Danny DeVito, Philip Seymour Hoffman, or John Goodman. Nobody wants to hear excuses. :no:

Yeah but if youre ugly, or "character" as they say there are plenty of roles as well.

Like Josh could land a role easily portraying DeVito's son.

But for us guys in the middle its a bit harder to find the niche.

[DonDadda59]

Hideous circus freaks like Steve Buscemi and Forest Whitaker got leading man roles. Just gotta put in the work and inch your way up there if you're not an Adonis/son of someone famous.

he doesnt want to work his way up, he wants to get that leading role right away. nor does he want to sit in traffic to pursue something hes passionate about. I think hes more after the fame than the craft. real pathetic guy.

also, i dont think hes smart enough to know what type of character he could sell himself as.

No way. It helps, but it definitely doesnt trump. Look at Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus. Look at Pitt and Clooney getting mega bucks to act in whatever blockbuster they choose, simply because theyre bankably pretty.

There are tons of great no-name actors out there that would be great for specific roles, but they all go to the same half dozen guys bc the public is stupid, have no taste in anything, and will devour any shit put immediately in front of them. Public is straight birdfed. They dont go looking for quality. They sit and wait for something theyre familiar with to be put in front of them, and then lap it up.

[Akrazotile]

Ayy. Ol man river.

Youre 37 years old and STILL paying to have pompous, tenured windbag professors tell you what think. And youre PROUD of it :lol

Im 100 times more intellectually ambitious than you, and have 100 times more ability in pretty much every human quality. Seriously. Youre terrible at everything. Not smart, not funny, not athletic, not charming, no skeelz with the ladies, no leadership, no articulation. You hide behind a played out marxist liberal poser facade in order to try and impress people bc you have nothing genuine to offer. Youre one huge defense mechanism. One would expect that of a 19 year old college kid trying to figure out who he is. Youre 37 and still grasping???

Yeah, yeah, we know. You have a degree!!!!! You must be cool, look, you paid for a degree!!!!! See, says right here! Degree in plant identification!!!! See, im cool guys!!!! Please respect me!!!! I have a degree!!!!

[DonDadda59]

All talented people. May not be your cup of tea, but they definitely are all talented in one way or another. And them being attractive obviously didn't hinder them. Of course Achy Breaky Heart had a lot to do with Miley's success.

It's true that certain guys are recycled... but it has more to do with the casting system than anything the public does. Casting directors are like the bouncers outside of a club, if you get in good with them you have a better chance of getting in... or at least getting your foot in the door. They have their favorites who they call in for every audition, callback, director meeting, etc.

The public has literally nothing to do with that outside of box office dollars for mega stars. But the everyday, day players/recurring roles/bit parts has everything to do with 'connections'... but at the same token, if they didn't have family connections then they had to have done well at some point in the process to keep getting called in.

Like I just got a small part on a TV show. Had to go in on 2 different auditions back to back days- first with just the CD the first day, then the next day with the CD and the director. Funny thing is, the process was the same on a big budget film/much bigger role I auditioned for last month (got down to the final round and lost the part to the dude that played lil' Cease in Notorious :facepalm )- initial meeting with the CD and her assistant pimp, then called in next day on the Brooklyn docks (no joke) to do the same exact shit for the CD, her assistant pimp, the director, the 2 producers, the 2 writers, and I think one of their mistresses... I don't even know who that b*tch was. :confusedshrug:

All part of the hustle.

You are right.

My passions are learning and expressing myself. Not reciting 8 lines of script in a one-scene cameo on the latest transformers flick.

Having a successful film tv/film career would allow me the resources to travel and study, as well as achieve significant influence. Thats what I want. And Id also love to put my all into a great role in a quality, substantive production. But no, I'm not interesting in driving across LA to audition as a janitor in the next batman, or a reporter in the next wolverine, or a hotel bellhop in the next james bond.

Well Im glad for you and I hope it pays off, but my point is the public doesnt demand better, so they dont get better. Instead of seeing interesting, unique choices for different leading men, theyre simply satisfied with Leo every time.

I dont watch a lot of tv and film these days bc for me if Im not genuinely stimulated, Id rather take my time elsewhere. A game of chess, a book, a hotly contested political debate on ISH. Birdwatching. Golfing. Practicing my German or Chinese Etc.

Most people tho, spend al their free time eating up bleh movies, video games, and literally any sporting event that's airing. The public is all about sit and watch. Fair enough. Im just saying, those who produce those things dont really have to earn the public. Public gonna sit and watch regardless.

The hustle is to own the productions. Not exhaust yourself auditioning to be a part of them. IMO. But if you believe in yourself and enjoy the process, go for it. I just personally kinda soured on it.

DiCaprio has his own production company and is a proven commodity. He started out doing bit parts as a kid and worked his way up. As far as I know, he didn't have any family/industry connections. I think it took him something like 6 years of auditioning before he landed anything.

I agree 100% which is why I'm starting to write and direct my own projects... but I'm not naive enough to think I'm going to own Paramount or Fox after doing literally jack shit beforehand. :oldlol:

If you're not born into it, you have to put in the work. There's no way around it.

[Akrazotile]

It's not just about how hard you work, it's about what you have to offer and wht you want to offer.

What I believe I have to offer doesnt fit the mode du jour of the formulated hollywood superhero flick. Thats not what I want to do nor has it ever been. I think I happen to be a very good actor, but again, I know I'm not going to be cast as a blockbuster leading man, and spending countless hours auditioning for bit parts in mediocre hollywood formula projects is not how I want to spend my time.

Im pursuing other things in writing and in business that are better suited to what I actually want to do. Deciding not run all over town pursuing four lines of dialogue in The Hulk doenst mean Im not willing to work for something. Im just not willing to work for THAT, bc its not what I want. Thats just my personal concluson.

[gts]

If you're not born into it, you have to put in the work. There's no way around it.That's pretty much how being successful in any endeavor works...

If you're unwilling to put the time, you're doomed to fail.... School, work/career and relationships

Too many people want things handed to them or want to excel without lifting a finger and it's just not how it works...

[DonDadda59]

It's not just about how hard you work, it's about what you have to offer and wht you want to offer.

There's plenty of films being made that aren't superhero flicks.


I think I happen to be a very good actor,

And plenty of people think they can play in the NBA... what do you base this on? Have you taken any classes? Ever gotten feedback from CDs?


but again, I know I'm not going to be cast as a blockbuster leading man, and spending countless hours auditioning for bit parts in mediocre hollywood formula projects is not how I want to spend my time.

That's a very black and white way of looking at things- superhero flicks or nothing... there's so much in between.

And you're 1000% entitled to believe what you want... just seems you have a very narrow view of things.

Thats well and good, but that doesnt make him the best choice for every role. But he can take every role bc the publics gonna plop down their money regardless. Theyre not holding out for an original choice full of untapped talent. If Hollywood were a meritocracy, virtually every film would have unknown actors bc different people will be suited to different roles.

Its a big machine that has the public on a hook. Thats fine, but I want to do original and substantive things, and thats not what the hollywood audition grind is about. You wanna work your way up to possibly be a famous A-lister in the vapid, formula-film move biz, thats perfectly fine. That prob sounds sarcastic but its not. It's a perfectly legit goal, its just no longer mine.

[Akrazotile]

That's a very black and white way of looking at things- superhero flicks or nothing... there's so much in between.




Ofc theyre not ALL superhero flicks, but Id beg to differ that theres so much in between.

Yeah, theres the occasional feel good story where a coach leads a team full of underdogs to an improbable title. Or a virulent oldschool racist is put in someone elses shoes for once, and realizes the error of his ways. Or a standard romcom. Or a horroflick.

But Hollywood is not a bastion for original or substance. Why should they be? The public certainly isnt.

[andgar923]

I hate to pop my collar, but I was a stud years ago.

Should've continued acting but I honestly didn't like it.

In all honesty, I would've (or I suppose could've) been the top Latino actor hands down (at least under 50).

At the end of the day, big budget Hollywood films are a business. People invest millions, sometimes hundreds of millions of dollars into them. Naturally they expect a return on that investment. So naturally, they'll want proven commodities who draw the paying public to be at the forefront of those projects. If you were starting an NBA franchise from scratch, poured in tens of millions of dollars into it and then the last step was you having to choose either LeBron James or some random but possibly talented unknown to build around... who do you choose?

But even big budget productions that have built in fan bases are going the route of casting unknowns... look at Star Wars. Even I got a chance to audition for a lead. :oldlol:

But that's just the money side of things. Just because a production has cash, doesn't mean it will be garbage or it will be great. All depends on the material, personnel, etc.

You know this how?

And it's well and good to talk about wanting to do something... but what have you actually done that's substantive and free of the vapid, formula-film model of Hollywood?

I know plenty of people who've said the same exact shit... they wanna, oughta, woulda, coulda, shoulda... but ultimately they get high and don't do shit. Not saying this is you but I've wasted too much time with people just like that. But that's probably me just ranting off track :D

Birdman just won best picture. But you probably just wrote that off as vapid, formula-driven entertainment without actually looking into it.

Big studio flicks work on formulas... but there's plenty of original content out there, especially with the rise of internet sites (youtube. VHX, etc) where artists can share their work publicly. You can find anything you're looking for outside of the Avengers.

Im aware of all that, but for me its simply not the route that I want to go bc if Im going to pursue something thats 1 in a million, I want to at least look back on a rewarding process if it doesnt pan out. Again Im not making any proclaimations on what different aspects of the business should mean to everyone, simply what they mean to me.

And I know the landscape bc I was involed in it a little while. Auditioning for commercials, for pilots, movies. You can either pursue big budget stuff and do very little actual acting, or work student films, where every day is a misadventure. (Some students know what theyre doing but others are just straight lulz).

Ive recently gotten more involved doing freelance writing and promotion/marketing work. Yall know I share as much as I can here but I honestly cant talk about specific companies and employers bc we have a legit, genuine stalker on the board. GOAT Loser will literally do anything he can to badger me online or IRL.

I am hoping to debut a Youtube channel as well but it's still about a month or so away.

For sure, I do miss the occasional gems when they first come out bc I dont trust the current climate and I dont wanna sit through 4 bleh movies to see 1 good one. I tend to wait and see which ones continue to be talked about over time and then check them out once Im sufficiently intrigued.

No youre not.

You have a one dimensional personality, no swag and no creativity. Youre not any good at acting.

You do however make an excellent exemplar of that study about how people think theyre good at things when actually they suck.


Edit - on second hand you might be a decent typecast as the pathetically over sensitve bottom in the Biff Gets Boinked trilogy.

Would you have had any shot if it was being made today

Just did a self tape for the lead in John Singleton's Snowfall. So I'll let you know if I ever hear back from casting.

Yeah, I heard they were making a Mike Tyson's Punchout film a while ago. He's got the Glass Joe role down pack!

You're an actor too, yes? :confusedshrug:




Damn, didn't know we had so many Thespians in this e-wasteland. :lol

Wow I posted to see if you remembered :lol

I stopped to focus on getting my exam, since I should have it now I really have opportunities to get back at it... Theater maybe, or 'Diplom Studiengang Schauspiel'.. hope I don't puss out lol.

Check out Birdman. Something tells me you would appreciate that one.
Second this. Great film.

Who would you pick as the lead role for your summer blockbuster that you are directing

Dude, DUDE! You suck at this ISH game, give up.

Deciding not run all over town pursuing four lines of dialogue in The Hulk doenst mean Im not willing to work for something.

The Hulk himself was rejected 600 TIMES (http://metro.co.uk/2012/04/19/avengers-star-mark-ruffalo-reveals-big-break-came-after-600-rejections-395524/) before he was cast in anything.

Not everyone is built for it.

Starface is a good character actor Paul Giamatti wise-guy type.

DonDadda is a good leading man, an understated and powerful Clint Eastwood type.

Depends what type of role you're casting for really.

You guys are forgetting that I was in The Hunger Games.

Don't go into acting for the money or fame. You simply won't last in the industry. You'll become jaded within a few years. You can always take a break too, if you want to achieve other things in life or mature for particular roles you can always come back to it. There are roles out there for all ages if you don't mind doing Theatre as well.

Acting ultimately is about telling stories, what motivates us and our decisions. If you enjoy subjects like philosophy and psychology chances are you'll enjoy studying acting.

I'd love to be an actor, and feel like I have the enthusiasm to potentially be good, but there aren't many opportunities here in the Tampa bay area. I once met the producer of Dolphin Tale (filmed in Clearwater) at my family's fresh market. She came in to buy some fruit and locked her keys in her car, so while she was waiting for AAA we were chatting it up inside and she told me to get my foot in the door, she could get me a small role in the film or at the very least allow me to be an extra in the back of the set (she said I had that "it" factor to be an actor, but looking back she was probably just trying to be nice lol). I gave her my email and phone number, she emailed me once about a potential audition for another role in some indi flick, and never heard from her again. :(

I'd like to give an audition a shot, just to see how I do and because I'd rather do it and fail than to look back and regret never trying.

If you want to excel in nearly any profession outside of automotive, medical, or sales, you're going to have to be willing to relocate.

This.

To be honest if you don't want to leave your state or it seems like a big effort you don't want to be an actor. The more roles you get the more traveling you will do. Also be prepared to drop all your plans the night before. I've had adverts get confirmed literally the night before. If acting is something you enjoy get involved in some Theatre and short/student films on an amateur basis. Deciding to do it as a profession is an entirely different ball game and not for people looking for instant success. One of my acting teachers said to me when you've been gutting it out for a decade then you can complain about not having a break.

ABC just handed you, and everyone in here claiming they have the chops, the opportunity of a lifetime... and you don't even have to leave your living room:

http://www.backstage.com/news/casting/abc-seeking-new-talent/?utm_campaign=Editorial+Posts&utm_content=15798505&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook

$25,000 and a year long deal with the studio. Worst case scenario is you get seen by the casting big shots over at ABC.

I feel like I'd have a good chance at the 2 male Drama roles, even tho the writing is crap.


Not sure if I'll be good enough to convince them to write a character around a Mexican tho (if I made it to that point).

But I was able to relate to the two characters (the 2nd drama more so) instantly and had a backstory within seconds. Developing a character wouldn't be too hard, it would be harder to take 'me' as far away from the character tho.

Haven't even read the shit yet, but yeah the writing of these things is usually pretty bad. But what do you expect, it's network TV :oldlol:

I won another showcase like this but I was able to pick my own material.

And ABC (and every network) is looking for more 'diversity' now actually. Especially after the success of shows like Empire, Blackish, Fresh off the Boat, and a couple others recently.

Even HBO had me into their offices for a 'diversity' showcase late last year. Now is actually the best time ever to be a Mexican actor. :oldlol:
