Well, my sixth actor scheduled also was a no show. Gave no notice of not coming in, nothing. Spoke to him on Instant Messenger over the weekend, telling me everything was set to go. I’m am so sick and tired of these twinky actors fucking me on flights and wasting my time. I’m going to be putting a new policy in effect starting immediately which will require a signed agreement with actors prior to booking them for their flights and for the shoot. And everyone wonders why it’s taking so long to cast Twinklight? It’s because actors who have no respect for the business or themselves who take the spot of another actor who would have had the professionalism to follow through, at the very least give me enough notice to get another actor in. Fucking bull shit! Afton

Just got back from the airport, Tyler Bolt former/present Helix Actor was booked for my shoot this week. Assured me 100% he’d be here. Texted me saying he would never commit to something and not show. Before booking his flight, wanted to be sure he’d make it out. Texts giving me that assurance. Well, just another example of how some of these actors work. If you’re a producer, I encourage you not to work with this actor, unless you don’t mind getting stiffed for a flight. Very disappointing. Thing that bothers me most, I emailed him on myspace today asking him if he was all packed, and he replied, no not yet, working on it. You know, if someone changes their mind about coming in, that’s not a problem. Simply let me know so I can cancel your flight and get a replacement. But to just tell someone you’re going to show, and you don’t, well it’s not like you just didn’t show up for your 8 hour shift at SubWay, you fuck up a film production that has taken a great deal of time and money to put together. I had six actors scheduled to come in, now I’m down to five. Let’s see how many will actually show. Ugh!
