This Week In HOLLYWOOD

Wow...this week has been busy, busy busy.

It is the last week of the quarter for school and so Sam has been taking final tests like crazy. He has an A in all of his classes. WOOT WOOT. All A's on all final tests. 4.0 baby!!!! That's what I am talkin about. He has worked hard and deserves everyone of them.

Now, onto the other part of our life....ACTING!!!

He had two auditions this week one for a free job...a student film where he would be a lead character and the other a paying job.... a national commercial for DEX. He also has three audition tomorrow and Saturday... two are for the same Voice Over (VO) cartoon. I think it is a kids show. Sam is trying out for two different roles...both pirates. The other audition is for Nickelodeon. He has been learning a monologue all week. It is very funny. I hope that leads to something big.

Auditions are rolling in. I was worried at first...but I guess it takes awhile to get your name back out there. Seems like the days when were here before.

I called the work permit office yesterday to find out where his current work permit is. I sent it off over 5 weeks ago and it is supposed to be a 3 day turn around. I was worried it got lost in the mail, but no...they are 6 weeks behind. Sam was supposed to have a job today and I couldn't commit without a work permit. I asked the lady if there was any way to speed it up since he had a job. She asked when the job was and when I told her, she agreed to process it right then as long as I could drive over to pick it up. SO YEAH!!!!! His work permit is here.

With the work permit, I was finally able to update his extra management company paperwork. So, starting tomorrow he will be on thier roles and will be able to get paid work through them. YEAH!!!

Lots of great things happening. Sam is enjoying his Tae Kwon Do and Hip Hop classes. The acting class is lots of fun. And, play practice is goig well.

Keep your fingers crossed!!!! And....keep us in your prayers.
