Day 118 - Agency secured.
I am going with Trisko Talent Management. I got a referral from Gail Simpson (Thanks Gail!) to meet with Dylan who was a totally cool guy and was really easy to talk about the industry with. Like I said, I had some bad experiences before with agents but I think this one will provide some realistic opportunities. It’s just a matter of signing some papers and then I will be out and about on some auditions for commercials. It is pretty clear to me now that this is the way you must start out. You need to build up your resume by booking some of these gigs and then you can make your way to bigger and better things. But don’t get me wrong, I would be ecstatic if I could get some of these commercial jobs. They pay good and you build up contacts this way.
People have been asking me a lot lately how “500 Days to fame” is going. I think they read the site and know that it has been slower lately, but I always remind them that there is a long way to go. I am happy with my progress so far and I think the early rush of enthusiasm is normal in a project like this. I am still confident this will take me somewhere and I am glad you are all along for the ride.



Congratulations Rick! Gimme five! ;)
