IT ALL WORKED OUT!

Hey Guys!

Looks like it all worked out.  I booked "LIFE" and I start my 3 day shoot Thursday! Yeah!  I just got my script today and I can't wait to read it!  My character plays this guy who collects model airplanes and helps do some "Devious" stuff.  I can't wait.

It looks like the ABC show "CASTLE" still wants me (see previous posting).  They told my people that I am still on HOLD, but it won't shoot until AFTER November 18th.  So it won't conflict with the "LIFE" taping!!!  

I am soooo happy it all worked out!  I shot 4 different shows in a 2 1/2 month span.  I hope it keeps getting better and better!

YEAH!

I AM PINNED!

So here's the deal with me now.  My people tell me I am on "HOLD" for 2 shows.  They say, "We have a PIN in you."  Which means they have my headshot pinned to the wall in their production office.  You see, whenever production gets ready for a show or movie, they put all the headshots of the people in the project on the wall with a PIN.  So I am PINNED.

So I am PINNED for "LIFE" on NBC.  

I am also PINNED for "CASTLE" a new show on ABC.

The crazy part is that BOTH shows are shooting at the same time.  So I am hoping I can do BOTH!!!  'Cause they both seem like great projects to work on!

This happened to me before.  I was PINNED for "24", "The Unit" and "Wedding Bells" a few years ago.  And they were all shooting at the same time.  I ended up only doing "24" because of date conflicts.  I really wanted to do all 3 shows!!!!

But... I am not in the CAST yet for either of these 2 shows.  You see, the script and locations haven't been finalized yet.  So I could be cut out, changed or even re-cast depending on the writers and producers.

All I know is that I have been PINNED.  Ha ha ha ha.  I will keep you guys updated!

SHOOTING and VOTING

OK, so I just finished shooting DOLLHOUSE (FOX's new show).  I had a great time doing it and met alot of nice people.  A few highlights were:

1. My Outfit.  Is this not the craziest thing?!?  If you know me, you know I never, ever, ever dress like this.  Ha ha ha ha, it was great to actually go out of my comfort zone.  Look, it's a yellow golf hat with a hoody and I am wearing a little BLING!  I guess I am really conservative  in what I wear, because I thought this was like an alien suit to me.

Also, the set was this awesome old building with cement floors and old brick walls.  And I was surrounded by dancers and singers.  I got to hang out with Jed Whedon, the writer of the episode.  He also wrote a very cool movie, "Doctor Horrible's Sing A Long" (you should google it, it's awesome).

2.  I VOTED today!!!!  I did an ABSENTEE ballot in the mail.  I don't like standing in lines and parking, so I vote through the mail.  And I voted for my favorite candidates and propositions!  I am so proud of myself.  I want everyone to vote!!!!  I don't care who you're voting for, just get your voices heard!

So I guess that's it for today.  Hope all is well in internet land!

I BOOKED ANOTHER TV SHOW!!!!!

So I booked another show!  Last month I had a blast doing "GRAY'S ANOTOMY", and now I will be doing Joss Whedon's (BUFFY) new Sci-Fi TV show, "DOLLHOUSE".

It stars ELIZA DUSHKU (Buffy, Bring It On, Tru Calling) and it will be on FOX.  I basically am in the midst of POP glamour and I tell Eliza's character and others how to sing and what to do.  I play a musical director getting people ready for a... well that's all I can say about the story.  You will have to see the show.

I start shoot Oct 15 and I can't wait too meet Eliza!

OPRAH

Ok, Ok, Ok.... so I am kinda over my haircut now.  I want to talk about 2 things.

1. OPRAH and VISION BOARDS.  Not sure if any of you guys heard of "Vision Boards", but it's basically a poster you make with everything you want in life. Marriage, love, money, cars, etc..etc.. Then you put it up and look at it everyday.  And the theory is that it will subliminally tr

ain your brain and the universe to get these things.  I have a few friends who do it and love it.  Well I am not one to make posters, but I did make a "VISION DESKTOP" on my computer.  Meaning, I made a Jpeg image and put it on my computer so everyday I stare right at it.  I have MONEY, ECO FRIENDLY CAR, MY DOGS, FRIENDS, PEACE, DREAM HOUSE, FITNESS on it.  Hopefully this will lead me to a POSITIVE Life and send positive people and things to me!!!

2.  This happen to me today: I had this person set up a photoshoot with me for September. She pays me a $50 non-refundable deposit to secure it.  She calls me up later and says, "Oh I need to re-schedule for early October."  So I do it.  Then October rolls around, and she doesn't show up to the appointment.  Later that day, she says, "Oh I thought it was for Sunday, not Saturday."  So I re-schedule AGAIN for Sunday.  Than I get a TEXT Message Sunday morning saying, "I need to re-schedule our appointment, I was at the Hospital all night with my family."

Now I would of normally been sympathetic in this case, but she basically bailed out on her first 2 appointments. So I told her, "Sorry about your situation, but I am booked until the 15th, so when you are "REALLY" ready to do a shoot, call me.  I may request an 'additional' DEPOSIT to secure yet another photoshoot.  (She paid a non-refundable deposit to secure 1 timeslot with me already which she took advantage of)

You see, everytime I schedule an appointment with her and she does a NO SHOW, I lose money and time.  I could of given that timeslot to someone else.  So she basically cost me ALOT money.  She texted me, "You insensitive prick."  Was she not sensitive to me when she cancelled 3 of her appointments with me with no regards of my time or loss of business?  I did say to her that I was sorry for her family, but I can't keep losing money from her.

I said she could re-schedule with me AFTER the 15th, and hopefully she would be more 'serious' about it.  I just get so angry when people don't give respect but expect it.

Just wanted too get this off my chest.

Ugh.

MY HAIR!!!!!!

Okay, so I made a HUGE mistake.  I have been going to the best place for 7 years to get my haircut.  It's called, "SHORTY's" in West Hollywood.  They cut my hair and make me look like a  superstar.

But I had an emergency.  I had several auditions and I had less than 24 hour notice.  And my hair was way too long.  So I went to a salon down my street.  

It was a place called, "FLOYD's BARBER SHOP".  It looked cool and hip.  So I walked in and showed them my picture (pic below) and I said, "I want this haircut."  I know it can be done, because it was a pic of ME.

So she cut my hair, and 30 mins later, I got a CONE HEAD.  My hair was way too short and had a POINT in the middle.

Needless to say, I was very unhappy with my cut and I hope it didn't effect my auditions the following day. Ugh.

DON'T GO TO "FLOYD's BARBER SHOP"    (http://www.floydsbarbershop.com)  they will screw up your hair!

MAJOR CATCH UP with JOHN!!!

Key Points on my LIFE now:

I just moved!!!  I am in a nice little

 Condo in the NOHO arts district.  I love it, because there are only 5 people living in the building! The good thing is, all the people moving in are totally cool.

There are some problems trying to get a few things fixed from the developer, but all in all I love it here.

I just got a new puppy too!  His name is SPIKE and he is a LONG HAIRED DOXIE (Weener Dog).  I got him to keep my beautiful 7 year old DOXIE company.  Her name is KILLER.  (She's

 the black dog)  But to my surprise, she HATES him and wants to eat him.  Ha ha ha ha.  I haven't slept in over 2 weeks now!  I am going to crazy!

My poor pup wants to constantly play with KILLER, his new sister.  But everytime he comes near her, she snaps at him.  I was hoping a maternal extinct would kick in with Killer.  But she wasn't having it.  Have you seen Killer's Youtube movie?  Go to YouTube and type in "Ask Killer Anything".  Now that she has a brother, I have to reformat her show.  

 I shot GREY'S ANATOMY this month!  It was Awesome.  I love this show. It was just a Co-Star role, but it was with one of my favorite actors, Sara Ramerez (Dr.Torres).  I play a psych intern and I make a mistake and she rips me a new one.  I got to hang out with Sara and other cast members and be part of a great show. I loved it!  

I am also busy doing my photography.  You can see my work at: www.JBCImages.com .

I need to figure out what I need to do too "Move forward" in my life.  I have a great place, dogs, and business.  But it's kinda at a stand still.  I hate standing still.  I need more money to make more investment ventures.  Like everyone else, I have Student Loans, Car Loans, Credit Card Bills, Mortgage, etc..etc...  I would love to have everything paid off, so the money I do make can go into my retirement. Anyone know any secrets?  (no pyramid schemes or recruiting crap) Did you know I haven't had a vacation in over 8 years?  I am too busy auditioning, shooting, photography and dealing with 'real life'.  I need a vacation so bad.  

Okay, now I am just babbling.  Well this is what's going on now in my life.  Till next time!!!!
