New Manager – Eileen O’Farrell

[Posted In: Acting,Stunts,Uncategorized — By David @ 10:22 am]

Always see the good in something….

A few weeks ago I was doing some emails to managers to see if they would be interested in me. I came across Eileen O’Farrell Personal Management, saw her clients listed on IMDBPro, and decided to send her an email.

“Hi Eileen!,

I’m an actor and I want a manager! Manage ME! NOW! PLEASE!”

~Desperate Actor

Ok no it wasn’t quite like that, but here in a shortened version…….

“Hi Eileen!

I recently did a stunt for MTV’s new show Death Valley, worked on a hilarious webisode called Matchstick McCoy, and was a lead actor in a beautiful film shot on the RED titled “Wind.”

I’m currently searching for new management and would love to meet, attached my headshots/resume/blah blah blah”

~David

And then…. I get a response! She says:

“Hi David,

I like your look. Please send your Actors Access profile.”

And I’m like suhweeeet! And I send back…

“Hey Eileen! No problem. Heres my actors access: [inserted link]“

And then I wait and wait and then she replies…

“Hi David, I like your look but sorry I don’t work with actors who don’t have their video up on Actors Access. Wish you the best.”

*GASP* I was like whoa! But then I though, ok I don’t want to have that issue in the future. I had just cut my demo reel to the point where I was ready to put it up anyways. She was right. I wasn’t thinking about it at the moment, but her email just gave me the little kick I needed. So, immediately after that email I called up my friend Marc Fajardo and asked him about how he got his video on AA. He said it was easy and I could do it all online and use a service such as WeTransfer to send them my video.

A few uploading minutes, some waiting, a few more minutes for downloading, a call from Actors Access, and about a $100 later, my video was online. Awesome!

This was a good thing. I decided to email Eileen and thank her for this important piece of advice. I wrote:

“Hi Eileen,

Just wanted to let you know that I took your advice and put my video online. Thank you so much and here’s a link for you in case you’d like to see it.”

She writes:

“That’s great David! It’s very important to have your video online and this alone will improve your audition ratio! Call me Monday if you’d like  to set up a meeting.”

Woo! So I called her and met with her and she is a very lovely lady who is very honest and comes highly recommended by some of her other clients. She had great things to say about me that gave me the boost of energy and confidence I was thirsting for along with some great advice. I’m very excited to be working with her now and have newfound courage and determination to attack with =) Thank you Eileen because you have already done so much for me.

 

Stunt on MTV’s “Death Valley” Ep. 105 – “Zombie Fights”

September 27, 2011 [Posted In: Stunts,Uncategorized — By David @ 1:50 pm]

Hey guys, my stunt on MTV’s Death Valley finally premiered last night on episode 105 “Zombie Fights.” You’ll see me getting shoved out of an ambulance from vampires stealing from a blood bank. The actor’s were hilarious to work with and I want to thank Phil Tan for stunt coordinating and letting me play.

“A Better Place” Premiere

June 19, 2011 [Posted In: Acting,Uncategorized — By David @ 7:00 am]

Recently reunited with the cast and crew of “A Better Place” to go watch the premiere of the film.

The film was very entertaining and well recieved and it was great to see everyone again.

Matchstick McCoy – “The Oriental Express”

April 15, 2011 [Posted In: Acting,Stunts — By David @ 7:23 pm]

The first episode of the ridiculous webisode, Matchstick McCoy, is here! Take a look at our goofiness.

Matchstick McCoy Webisodes

April 7, 2011 [Posted In: Acting — By David @ 8:52 am]

Look out for the new Matchstick McCoy webisodes! It was a fun project amongst friends and gave me a chance to play around and have fun. I play an actor who has the role of Shing on a TV show called Matchstick Mccoy. It all takes place in the 70′s, so there are a whole bunch of colorful characters.

Here’s the article from Slebisodes to describe the series in a bit more detail:

“Matchstick McCoy is an old fashioned cop with a contempt for authority and a love of Kung Fu. Constantly being on suspension doesn’t keep his boss, The Chief, from calling him in and partnering him up with yet another reluctant hero to get the job done. With stereotypes galore, story formulas mocked and exploitation exploited – each of the four episodes is a complete story with its own unique theme: The Oriental Express, The English Connection, Big and Black and Eye for an Eye. Matchstick McCoy presents a world that mixes the various exploitive genres from Kung Fu films, Blaxploitation, classic Bond, and good old American television action into a humorous spoof.”

My Website Has Been Upgraded!

April 4, 2011 [Posted In: Acting,Life Things,Stunts,Uncategorized — By David @ 7:16 am]

I finally got around to redesigning my website and polishing it up. It’s a more professional version :) All the same things are available with an addition of a photo galleries page where I will be updating photos from my various projects!

Death Valley Stunts with Phil Tan

April 1, 2011 [Posted In: Acting,Stunts,Uncategorized — By David @ 7:22 pm]

I recently was hired to do a stunt on a new show called Death Valley. It’s a new comedic show like Reno 911 with zombies and monsters. It’s a pretty hilarious concept. So I played a nurse that was kidnapped and gets chucked out of an ambulance while the bad guys make their escape. It was a lot of fun and a great learning experience since it was my first time doing a car related stunt. Mr. Tan guided me through the operation and gave me some wise words. Awesome man with some amazing stories. Hope to work with him again soon.

The actors on the show were great and the writing is on point. I’m really looking forward to this when it comes out.

Fights with Phil Tan

January 18, 2011 [Posted In: Stunts — By David @ 2:41 am]

I had the opportunity to work with actor/stuntman Phil Tan on a film shoot for what I think was a pilot. Don’t want to spill too many beans on the project, but it involved heroes, bad guys, and fighting. It was a lot of fun and got to work with a bunch of talented people who I hope to work with again.
