This week I was contacted by a local Agent who is providing people for Auditions for a new French movie to be partly filmed in Thailand, partly filmed in Europe.
Having seen a few pages of the script (for character background and setting) I can see the character, a mercenary, is not a big part, but he does get some lines (Essential. No lines means you are a featured extra, getting lines means you are credited as an actor) and will be in a noticable part in the movie.
So will I take this lesser role than I am currently looking at in my auditions, would it be a step backward for me to take this lesser role? Yes it would.... will I go to the audition and meet the director?
Yes... and here is why...

Your life purpose - Forget all the spiritualist hanky panky on finding the meaning of life.
Go back to
basics. When you were a kid and someone asked you what you wanted to be
when you grew up what did you answer? That alone will probably answer the question of what is your life purpose, or at least it'll
give you a good place to start.
Failing that think deep down,
really let your imagination go WILD.
What would life be like if you were a rock
star, an International speaker, movie star, Multi-National CEO,
successful entrepreneur, soldier of fortune in Africa, deep sea
scientist, retired on the beaches of a tropical paradise, helping children in the 3rd world, legitimate Porn Star, tracking down Khmer
Rouge leaders in Cambodia and bringing them before the UN courts?
Any fantasy life purpose, no matter how wild, you can do it and you can start right now....

Eat dog meat - Would you do it?
Eating dog has been a part of many cultures for hundreds, even thousands of years. If you were starving, not 'starving' in the Western sense of the word (hungry), but starving in the real sense of the word (as in you are going to die) and Fido was sitting in the corner chewing a bone he'd buried last year. Wouldn't you be looking at Fido and seeing a big lump of delicious, life saving, dog meat? Dog meat, sorry Fido, would be straight in the pot.
And so there I was sitting in a Chinese restaurant in Northern China, filming in the Hindi movie Chandni Chowk To China and I was handed the menu - Dog Meat - right there on the menu. The Chinese lady says to me "Do you eat dog?" with a sly smile knowing Westerners don't eat dog.
Here I took a photo of the menu with dog meat, I didn't take a photo of the dog meat, but I did take a pic of the menu...

Recently on an Actors forum I replied to a post asking if an actor should have a personal website. Another qualified poster said it was more than important it is essential these days and talked about the old days when you would get out the Telephone book and look someone's number up.
He then went on to say when was the last time you looked up a business in the Telephone book? Years and years if I can remember rightly, probably over 10 years for me. These days I type in the business namke into a search engine and get the details from the web, or if that fails I use the Yellow Pages online.
You as an actor are a business, selling yourself, so yes you need to get online and findable....
