Acting Adventures and Jo Koy

I haven’t been writing much since I’ve been quite busy with acting…busy with acting. That actually felt sort of good to say that, but I had the worst of the worst day yesterday.

I have a small part for a horror film and I only have to say about 2-3 lines in the whole movie. Yesterday, the producer was really anal about everyone being on time at 6 o’ clock. So, being the responsible and reliable person I am, I arrived ten minutes early, but I later found out that they didn’t really need me at that time.

I was sitting there for over four hours doing absolutely nothing. Most of the actors and extras I was trying to converse with were not friendly people at all, so I just left without even filming. Worst four hours of my life. I’m not even sure if they even filmed at all on that day.

On a partially brighter side, last Thursday I went to audition for a popular cellphone company commercial that will air during a very special time. I will give out more specific information if I get the job. I would be really, extremely, completely and utterly happy if they cast me.

PREASE CAST ME!!!@!! PREASE!!!

And this is completely off topic but you really have to watch this. The comedian is Joy Koy, and he’s a hoot in this particular video. If you don’t think this is funny then I don’t know what is.

Top 5 Best Eurasian/Hapa Men

I’d like to give my gratitude to the interracial couples out there of Asian and White descent for breeding very aesthetically pleasing human beings of this planet.

So here, I present to you my topnotch list of outrageously good looking Eurasian/Hapa men:

5. Dennis Oh (actor/model)

This guy has enough hotness to liquefy a 50-ton block of ice and a football field of Frostys the snowman. His smile is remarkably innocent yet peculiarly hypnotic that getting rejection from women is probably unheard of to Dennis. Also, his immaculate features and good bone structures render him immune to failure and ugly chicks.

4. Troy (model)

If Elvis Presley were to morph into a scrawny Asian guy, he would probably look like Troy. Troy has a very mysterious, odd and edgy appearance that I once thought was originated from another dimension, a majestic fantasyland most likely known as Eurashotnessia. From looking at his photos, I get this huge vibe that he performs really weird and abnormal and kinky shit in bed…I mean after all he is from another world. ;-)

3. Justin Nozuka (musician)

RichL and I are total fans of Justin. Only difference is that she’s of fan of his music, and I’m a fan of his hotness. He has one of the best convincing puppy dog eyes and he seems to radiate a sense of heart, refined innocence, and slight geekiness, which are some of the traits that I find to be oddly charming in the opposite sex.

2. Daniel Henney (actor/model)

I once watched a documentary about his mother visiting him in Korea, and despite the palpable hotness he emitted through my computer screen, it turns out that he actually has a personality and is a genuine momma’s boy. The poor baby was literally crying a flood when his mom had to leave to the airport. And to top it all off, he has a role in the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Whoa!

1. Daniel Cloud Campos (dancer)

He is a talented b-boy/dancer (hence being a former backup dancer for Madonna) and could possibly kick your ass with a single windmill whip of high-energetic-metabolic-double-standard-roundhouse-kick to the throat. He has a keen eye for art and possesses his own unique style—most of which are manic, anorexic looking cartoon characters that are probably related to the aliens from the movie Space Jam. There’s fast-paced movement and life that is projected throughout his work, and that’s what makes it so appealing. Overall, Cloud is much more than an emblem of hotness, and that’s why he gets the number one spot on my legit list.

Curve the bullet you fuck

If anybody still has my previous website, tiffarts.com, linked, you can remove it. It’s permanently closed.

However, as very few of you may know, I do have a spanking new website that’s going to be showcased as an acting portfolio, and there, I will also be documenting my fun-crammed (and sometimes not so fun) adventures of trying to land some decent acting gigs in Hollywood as well as here in Orange County, using videos and photos. Starting tomorrow morning, I have yet another audition to goto, except this one’s for a sitcom. Let’s hope they don’t need a resume or handshot. Ha!

As much as I would love to talk about it here, I’m going to try to keep things separately since I really don’t want anyone I’m working with to find out about this website…I do have quite the sailor mouth sometimes. I’ll link the website for anyone who is interested.

Speaking of working with people on a professional basis, I really really regret registering THIS domain because it has my own friggin name on it! Fuck! Don’t quote me on this but I think 70% of employers google their applicant’s name before deciding whether to hire them or not. It’s so easy to look for regular people via Internet nowadays that I’m beginning to become paranoid.

I guess I’m no better than tramp stamp girl. sigh

Anyhoo.

You must support my ho, Angie, and buy your damn movie tickets for Wanted which will be opening on June 27th.

I know, I know I was completely and utterly wrong about The Strangers, but I have a good-no great feeling about Wanted. This shits going to rock the house.

And here’s my favorite screen cap of the film. Is it not one of the most ferosh candid shots you’ve ever seen?

The result of my audition.

The audition I went to turned out to be kind of good…aaand sort of bad.

I don’t have experience; therefore I don’t have a resume. I also don’t have a printed 8 x 10 headshot either. I am aware that most auditions require you to bring at least one of the two, so a couple of days ago, I emailed one of the staff/producers asking if I needed to bring anything, such as a resume and or headshot.

He replied, “No, you don’t have to bring anything.”

So that’s where I go, to myself, “Nice! They don’t have to know jack shit about my past ‘experiences’.”

On the day I went to the auditions it turns out that it was mandatory you bring the two. I don’t know why that fucktard had given me the opposite answer, but I decided not to give them an explanation since people, including myself, generally don’t care for excuses.

So when they asked, I, with poise (I hope), declared, “I don’t have them.”

Since the rest of the people, who were also trying out for a role (there were about 30 of them), were actual experienced actors, they were well equipped, and I was the only amateur who walked in empty handed. It looked pretty bad on my part, but in my mind, I gave myself kudos for simply being in the same room with professionals.

I did manage to try out, and it’s pretty similar to American Idol where you’re the only one standing in front of a row of people who were going to decide whether you make it or not.

They asked me to recite a two-minute monologue, and thank-fucking-goodness-to-the-heavenly-gracious; I already had a monologue prepared.

Next, they gave me a script to act with along with a partner. Everything went great.

It’s been a couple of days since the audition, and I don’t think I’m getting a callback. Yeah, go figure.

The bad part of this first time experience was that I didn’t bring a resume or a headshot, as a result it made me look very unprofessional. The good part is that I have finally found my niche. I was having a significantly great time auditioning, I can only imagine what it would be like to actually get the role and peform in front of the camera.

So I didn’t make the cut, oh well, on with the next!

The spices are brewing!

Some people are wondering if I’m actually pursuing acting since that other entry I wrote on taking risks.

…and yeah, I am. I’m not all talk.

It’s quite terrifying actually because, well first of all, I’m finally quitting my job on the 1st of July, which means I’m going to be dependent on my both my financial savings and paid acting gigs. Acting gigs are clearly way too unpredictable because you don’t always land a role. And second, I live 45 minutes away from LA, and gas, at the moment, is practically five bucks a gallon. That’s a lot. Because of distance, I’m very choosy and mostly hesitant of what I’m trying out for that’s located in LA.

I managed to book an audition tomorrow for an independent film. It’s going to be my first audition and I’ve never pissed so much piss in my sunflower shorts until now. I don’t know what to expect, I don’t know what to do, in fact, they don’t even know that I have absolutely zero amount of credible acting experience. They merely assumed that I have at least some knowledge, but they don’t have to know.

What momma don’t know won’t hurt her.

The good side is I landed a role on some other low-budget film, and as far as I’m concerned, I don’t have to audition since my part is very small and simple, and I’m only going to be there for two days. Meh. You have to start somewhere.

So there you have it. This is mainly what I’ve been stressing about for days. I actually haven’t told anyone about this, especially my family. It’ll be kept under wraps for now. So if anyone asks, say you don’t know shit!
