Making Progress

I was off the radar this spring overseeing repairs to the house. Now things are picking up. I shot a principal speaking role in the Netflix series House of Cards, Season 3. Last summer I auditioned twice and was cast twice in speaking roles for two Season 2 episodes, both directed by James Foley, a wonderful director. Lost them both in editing.

Getting edited out is one of the hazards in this business as filmmakers typically shoot much more footage than they can use. But actors mourn it when it happens (and I did). I have my fingers crossed that the scene for Season 3 stays in. So far, it looks good.  House of Cards is a wonderful series, beautifully shot and extremely well written. 
 
A short film I was in earlier this year is about to come out, Shoshana Rosenbaum's supernatural thriller "The Goblin Baby." Looking forward to seeing the finished version.

I was also just cast in a lead role in a new Laurence Peters play, "The Illusionist," about the world of art forgery.  The play will have a brief run this fall, with me as Barbara Goldberg, the disgruntled ex-wife who blows the whistle on the fraud scheme.

Looming large on the horizon, is an audition I just taped for a terrific role in Jon Jashni's feature film Brilliance. The production is gathering steam for fall filming up near Pittsburgh. No word yet. Noomi Rapace, who was so brilliant as Lisbeth Salander in the original Swedish version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, is the only name showing in the cast so far.

Actors get a bit rusty during down time, as I had this spring, so even though I'm getting some booking I think it's time to head back to acting coach John Pallotta's Studio in New York. John Pallotta is also an actor, writer, and director, so he has instant rapport with his actor clients, who continue to turn up regularly in feature films and in TV shows like Arrested Development, Blue Bloods, Boardwalk Empire, CSI, VEEP, Orange is the new Black, and many others. John has a unique approach to getting into character that is very accessible. And he's right, to be successful you have to love this business of acting more than anything.

 So, off to New York!
