I've always wanted to be famous (more famous than I already am..ha ha ha)
Hanna and I were joking about how we wanted to be on the show "millionaire matchmaker" and on Friday, while bored at work, I decided to figure out how to apply to be on the show. I mean, who wouldn't want to date a millionaire?
So, I found a website to apply for the show and I also discovered it was very easy to apply to other reality TV shows at the same time. Why not? All you had to put was your height, weight, age, and a picture of yourself. (The most important qualities of being cast for a reality tv show obviously).
I forgot all about doing that until I got a call from the casting agency this morning asking me to come in for an audition TODAY. After calling Hanna and laughing for like 10 minutes about this happening, I decided to do it. I wanted to see what the whole tv/acting world is all about.
I am now extremely grateful for the fact that I have an actual job and don't have to resort to auditioning at these terrible places ever again. I walked in and sat in a waiting room with 100 other people applying for modeling/acting jobs. The place is called "One Source Talent" if you wanted to know. The owner came in at first to tell us all about how brutal the acting/modeling agency world is..and the whole time I'm thinking...since when do I want to be a model/actor?? All I want is to be on the jersey shore or some other trashy show where all I do is drink and act like an idiot....
At the end of explaining that we had to pay $500 for our "comp cards" which are oh-so necessary in the modeling/acting world, and pay a small monthly fee of $39.99 (what a deal!!), he told us the door was right there and we were welcome to leave if we weren't 100% sure and serious about being an actor.
All I could think about at that point was how do I leave without looking stupid and also trying to remember where the Wendy's was that I passed on the way to the place cause I was starving.
They proceeded to call names for quick interviews and luckily I was one of the first to be called otherwise 2 minutes later you'd find me at the Wendy's ordering the biggest thing on the menu.
I walked in and the girl told me to go stand over "there" so she could check me out basically. She was like "so why do you want to be model/actor" and I'm like "Umm honestly I just want to be on reality TV." And she basically told me I would be great for commercials and other acting opportunities (Oh really, cause you know me so well and know I'm a great actor just by looking at me...PS-I'm a terrible actor).
She asked me to come back tomorrow and I was like ummm sure! What do I do after that? She then "reminded me" I needed to pay $500 for my comp cards (WTF are comp cards?!).
Never going back. Ever. But now I have a cool story for my blog so at least it all worked out in the end!!
