I'll just start by saying I've been having a creative crisis in the last two weeks, so last night's call from my agent couldn't have come at a better time. After-hours calls are usually a good thing, and this proved no different.
"What are you doing tomorrow?"
I was working, but I figured I would ask before I told him.
"Uh, why?"
"Because they want to book you for Battlestar."
"Well, I'm working, but I'm pretty sure I can get out of it."
"Pretty sure, or can you? I need to know now, because I need to tell them tonight."
"Ok, Ok, I can get out of it."
I had to. I don't care what I had to do, I would not miss out on being on Battlestar Galactica. Before taking care of work, I had to wait for phone calls regarding call times, wardrobe and ... sides delivery?
"We need to tell transport where to deliver the sides," the co-ordinator on the phone told me. Rememeber, BSG is the show with the SUPER-SECRET-IF-THEY-READ-THIS-BLOG-I-WILL-BE-BLACKLISTED-FOR-LIFE sides, so the fact that they had to have a guy hand-deliver my pages didn't surprise me. I had to meet him nearby because he couldn't find my place.
"Sorry, we've been working a lot (like the people I speak to on the phone keep mentioning) and I'm a little fried." 'sall good, buddy. Thanks for the pages.
I get my wardrobe info, and call time later in the evening, so I then headed-down to work to get my schedule straightened-out. One of my managers made me promise to get him a car if I hit it big, which brings the grand total of car-related IOU's to eight.
At work today, I just told people I had to head-out to go to my second job, which is actually true. Not to diminish the elation of doing it, but acting is a job. You're being paid to deliver a service. A fun and wonderful service, but a service none-the-less.
Being on set again was great, even if I had trouble locating the entrance of the huge film studio. Arrive, hair and make-up, and then I hit the shoe box trailer until lunch. A lot like being on set for "I Love You, Beth Cooper", however, there was no kindly old lady telling me not to spill anything on this blog this time. Also, I didn't act. I see a pattern forming. They'll have to bring me back again if they want to get the scene.
Just another day on the job.

Much like the temperatures in Vancouver, Will, you're rising!
It's good to see that, much like G-Unit at a cool party, you're getting some real action!
okay just one more:
Man, Will, much like me for the last 2 months, you're doin' it all by yourself!
Good stuff on Battlestar.
