Son of Zorn appearance. Network TV Premiere!

So this past weekend I had a co-star role in the show Son of Zorn. It wasn't until it aired and I was watching it on television that I realized that this is my first role on network television. Lady Dynamite is considered a TV show, but technically it's on Netflix so it's not something that you have to catch live on television.

Anyways, it was a pretty good role. I recently updated my reel and put my scene and it can be seen below. Most of it is in there, which is good because I usually always fear getting cut out.

It was an interesting experience acting opposite a cartoon. They would usually do a first take with a stand in. In this case, it was a girl wearing a large green box and like a green ski mask covering her face. Then they would do a second take without the stand in and I would have to just remember where they were and use points on the wall as a point of reference and the stand in would talk to be from behind the camera. My scene wasn't even that complicated, but it was really weird. I can only imagine what it would be like with more complicated special effects and stuff.

Anyways, it's the end of the year. It had its ups and downs. Preparing for next year. Blah blah.
