steve in hollywood

Often I will meet celebrities at sci-fi conventions, because I am a big nerd. A lot of actors are invited to these things as guests. Some of them actually show up. I remember when I met Marc Singer, who was in V (the one with the green lizard aliens, not Vendetta) and also Beastmaster. He still looks great for… whatever age he is. I always ask these actors, like Mark, what advice they have for me. Marc said to study Shakespeare, that was the key. He also said I had the look for L.A. and I should do well. Richard Hatch (the Battlestar Galactica one, not the naked on Survivor one) gave me some great advice as well. But I’ll never forget what Claudia Christian said, who was in Babylon 5.

“Go home.”

That was her advice. Such a sweet lady. This is her picture, so in case you see her coming you can hurry and run the other way.

One nice thing though, I just did a search for her picture and saw her naked. Sorry, can’t post that one. Just Google her name, you’ll see.

My Friend Lisa

Lisa was there during the infamous “tea kettle episode” as she is roommates with Allyson. Like many of us actors here, she is barely making ends meet. Her poor car is dying and she is trying to find a replacement. I was able to fit her into my busy actor’s schedule today and give her a ride to Hollywood to an audition. I walked into this quaint old theatre situated between tacky Hollywood trinket stores. The director was a short, hunched, smelly man with a gray beard. He talked in a very soft voice and didn’t hear too well. He also smelled like old must. He looked more like the janitor than anyone else. Well, anyway Lisa is responsible for my picture of the day (POTD!) because I actually got a good one walking down Hollywood boulevard, but first, here is Lisa:

This is what she gets for putting her headshot up on Myspace. Be glad I picked this photo Lisa. You know what I’m talking about.

Picture of the Day

While I was waiting for Lisa to audition, I saw one of those costumed crazy people I told you about that charge tourists for pictures with them. So, have a Hulk.

I had to get the picture with his back turned of course, because me no want to make Hulk angry.

Video of the Week

I hope I don’t regret this whole VOTW idea. Anyway, here is something relevant. I auditioned to host a TV show about tattoos… so I did an example hosting segment where they asked me to talk about myself and do some crazy things. My hair looks like crap, but oh well, here it is.
