Somebody Save Me.

"Some people can read War & Peace and come away thinking it"s a simple adventure story. Some people can read the ingredients off a bubble gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe." This is a quote from Lex Luthor in Superman: The Movie. I had one of those moments recently. This past week I have been watching season 7 of Smallville to get me prepared for the start of Season 8 that begins tonight. While doing so I noticed what many people in the Smallville forums have been saying is one of their bigger problems with the show: Clark seems to be staying in Smallville mode and doesn't seem to want to grow and reach his full potential yet. This got me to thinking about my own situation when it comes to acting. Right now I seem to just be stuck in a stagnant situation of my own doing. I am being the Clark Kent of Smallville. I am in the process of correcting this as I type this with new acting classes. I haven't taken a class in 10 months. I think it's about time I get going again. And continue to grow. I feel confident in my acting ability I just haven't grown in the other aspects of the business. i.e. resume, headshot, agent, and going on auditions. I haven't been to one audition since moving to Austin 4 years ago. I think I'm way past due for one.
