About me:
Hello! You know, people often ask me for advice. No one is more surprised that this happens than I am. But I don't give advice because I don't think its right to give advice to people you don't know, even if they ask for it. Especially if it's about a potential career. So let me just keep it general and drop these "pearls" of "wisdom"... ____________________________________________________________________________


____________________________________________________________________________ Want to get into stand-up? Find an open mic and do it. Study the comics you like. Figure out what it is about them you like and see how those principles apply to what you do. Do NOT do a watered-down version of their acts! That's called "having influences". It takes time to get good. Keep that in mind. And when you are good, you can be even better. Keep that in mind also. Are you writing sketches? Write a bunch of them. Round up some actors and find a place to perform them. You will learn by doing. If you do it for a while and don't notice any improvement/receive any positive reinforcement, stop writing as soon as you are aware that you are not good at it. ____________________________________________________________________________


____________________________________________________________________________ Have you made a video? Good! That is very good indeed! You are a do-it-yourselfer! The best way to be! You don't need my feedback. Honestly. Who am I? Just some bum who won't answer your MySpace message. Besides, I can't look at videos or read scripts because I wouldn't want to inadvertently absorb an idea of yours or have you think I stole it outright. Finally, if you're going to pursue a career in show business, you better love it more than anything in the world. It involves an enormous amount of unpleasantness and ultimately the payoff is getting to do it. If that is not enough for you, you shouldn't bother. ____________________________________________________________________________


____________________________________________________________________________ I hope that helps in some way. Also, on an unrelated note, I no longer accept comments of any kind. Not even picture comments. Everywhere you go on the internet there's a place for people to comment. How often do you enjoy these comments? How often are they even well-written? Or even interesting in ANY way? Really. Be honest. They serve NO PURPOSE. "It makes it interactive!" No it doesn't. Comments don't benefit anybody. Except for the mean or the purveyors of SPAM. I am opting out of the comment racket. Someone has to take a stand. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ Oh and if you want to hire me for something, please call Avalon Management at (323) 930-6010. That's soooo much better than contacting me directly. That would just be awkward for both of us. What's that? You like the look of my profile? How did I edit it? I'll tell you, enthusiastically whispering the crucial information:

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6!

Who I'd like to meet:
One hundred people.
