Sam's Webisode

I hope this works....Check out Sam's first attempt at a webisode. It is a several part series on a kid whose mom sets out to make him the laughing stock at his school. Pretty funny stuff. Idea came from Sam's head. I helped him fine tune his written work. We might even try to publish it as a book when done. LOL

On the set of Wizards..DAY 2. AND OTHER NEWS

Well, Day 2 was even more exciting than Day 1. Sam was prominently featured in almost every camera angle. It should be a great scene to actually see him on TV. It is the season finale of Wizards of Waverly place. So, keep your eyes out.

On this day, Sam spent his time hanging out with Jake at the Ping Pong table for the regular cast and the crew. Jake invited Sam and another boy over to play with him and Tim, who plays Zeke on the show. The rest of the day Sam followed Jake around and hung out with him and his friends. Jake had Keeana and Savannah, The G-Girls pop-teen singers, Josh Flitter (from the new Ace Ventura movie), Ryan Ochoa (iCarly) and Christian Fortune (The Perfect Game), hanging out with him on the set. The girls thought Sam's hair was so soft and fluffy. They kept touching him. Sam had a good time goofing around and being silly with kids his own age.

Selena Gomez stopped by the ping pong table to say "HI". David Henrie (Justin Russo) also came out to play Ping Pong and he was kind enough to pose for a picture with Sam.



Filming on Stage 1 were the Jonas Brothers. We all went to lunch at the same time and Joe Jonas posed for a picture with Sam.





All in All....It was a very fun day.

In other news.....

Sam is off to Nickelodeon to be slimed today. I think it is for promo pictures for the new game show ready to start filming next week. We can't tell you any more details than that...we signed a confidentiality agreement. He is very excited for sliming. They are going to allow him to shower at the studio so that we can make our 4pm wardrobe check a few miles down the road. The wardrobe check is for a show he will be working on Friday called Rhona and Beverly in which he will be playing a jewish kid at a Bar Mitzva.

This will be the 5 days working since last Friday. He gets paid about $32 for 5 minutes + drive time to just make sure his wardrobe is good.

Well, that is all the news we have for now. Feel free to leave Sam a comment. He likes feedback.

Pictures from the set of Wizards

Sam is working on Disney Wizards of Waverly Place today and tomorrow. Usually, he isn't working with any of the main characters directly and just featured in the background. This was a great scene. He was working with Jake T. Austin, David Deluise, David Henrie, and Maria Canals-Barrera. I was watching the video they took and he is visible in most of the scenes. They even gave him a line to say. Which is very unusual.


Sam said the between takes he and Jake were making jokes at each other. He had a very fun time doing the scene.

Here are some pictures. The cast was very good about posing. LOL.



Here he is with Selena Gomez who plays Alex Russo.


And here he is with Jake.

A Busy Week

This week is going to be hectic. Last Friday, he was an extra in a Nike Commercial. He had a great time. There was about 40 kids on the shoot and he made friends with several of them. Even collected a few phone numbers.

On Saturday, he auditioned for a Indy film with actual speaking lines. The director seemed very interested in him and called me into the room to discuss the particulars of the movie. So I hope he gets the part. After that, he went to the Improv group at LA Connection. He got moved up to the advanced teens class on Saturdays after just two weeks in the kids class on Sundays. YEAH!!!!

While we were on set at Nike, I got text another job offer. So, Monday and Tuesday he will be working on Disney Wizards of Waverly Place. He is one of 6 boys who will be appearing as extras on the show. I am hoping the producer seems Sam's amazing personality and it might lead to a further job offer.

In other news, I contacted his manager one last time before trying to find a new manager. I received a reply saying that he didn't realize we were back in town and wanted a meeting with us. We will meet up sometime next week. He never received my other emails. He said he is excited that Sam is back in town.

Then, this weekend, he shoots "The Swimmer." The crime scene pilot that he auditioned for right after we moved here.

Also, there is a possibility that he will be working on a show for VH1 on Saturday as well. If not, then he will be doing the Improv show.

Pilot season is starting and that should bring in lots of auditions. I am hopeful that something good will come of it. I would love to see Sam acting in a nice wholesome family show.

Keep us in your prayers.
