My son, having been invited to join Zach Bonner in finishing up his cross-country walk to raise awareness of homeless youth across America, put in his two miles of sharing. Walking alongside young and old alike, the beautiful Santa Monica day was pristine, the perfect weather in which to get the word out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div>Marching across pedestrian walkways in droves to Zach's destination on the Santa Monica pier, the group trekked one of America's cities wearing the highest rate of homelessness as a badge.. <br />
<br />

As Zach spoke, not full of self-aggrandizement of his own remarkable achievement, but of the statistics associated with homeless youth, one could not help but take note of the homeless individuals about the pier itself. <br />
<br />

There they were, unassumingly present, mostly unaware of all of the hub-bub, involved in their own self-absorbed state of being. The mayor gave a brief address, detailing several families of single women living in their cars, with their children. Heartbreaking.<br />
<br />

Zach's efforts have not gone unseen. Corporations have aided in funding for various homeless measures nationwide, and Office Depot has generously gifted "ZachPacks" - backpacks filled with notebooks, pencils, and the like, in an effort to put a tangible note on the streets that those who live there are acknowledged.<br />

Congratulations, Zach! The mere two miles we put in were but a drop in the bucket.

Grueling heat indexes; humidity to high heaven; dusky takes and reels . . . all of these my son, The Actor had accomplished with nary a complaint. Last night was a first, however ~ filming in the inky black of night. <br />
<br />
Crewmen and women, tugging and pulling on heavy equipment stood silently during takes, and moved with dexterity between them. Crickets began their song, and baby frogs began hopping across the cement floors of the cityscape.<br />
<br />
The cast moved between their places, to a makeshift seating arrangement; all illuminated by floodlights piercing the darkness.<br />
<br />
What a process, this filmmaking!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05265615183804178890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-494387971268193081.post-45970085296736163962010-06-18T06:21:00.000-07:002010-06-18T06:21:10.090-07:00Affirmed.We were scheduled for filming at the Riverwalk. It was an especially steamy afternoon, and the crew set up a makeshift tent on the lawn overlooking the water, and the walk itself. All the moms had taken up a seat on the cement staircase nearby, just below the actors and actresses seated under the canopy prepared for them.<br />
<br />
Curious passersby soon began meandering through.<br />
<br />
One particular woman stopped to inquire of all the goings-on.<br />
<br />
She was told, clearly, as to what she was viewing, right down to the 'star power' of those she was looking at. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1736769/">One little girl in particular</a> held her keen interest. That little girls' Momma had just finished detailing the daughter's latest resume' endeavor, a popular show on network television.<br />
<br />
The stranger peered under the canopy with her hungry-to-see eyes.<br />
<br />
Those eyes, growing wide, turned to us with amazement. The woman spoke: <i>"Why you're <b>RIGHT</b>! That <b>is</b> her!" </i><br />
<br />
. . . as if we didn't know, or had somehow misspoken . . .<br />
<br />
:rolleyes:<br />

Friendships are being formed over on-set jokes du jour, and the close proximity in the hair and makeup trailer.<br />
<br />
Perhaps the signature definition of the project thus far has been the remake of "Wanna Be A Billionaire" . . . so far, us parents have been innundated to such a degree that we can now sing the song in our sleep, and play the chords verbatim. :)<br />
<br />
So it goes . . .<br />

Extreme and unseasonably hot and humid weather beat upon the cast and crew as they worked outside tirelessly to capture the scenes necessary; followed by a series of days wherein they stood for hours on their feet, with very few breaks, on concrete floors. Nary a word of complaint was heard from any of them - it was great to see such a fantastic work ethic from them all!<br />
<br />
It was also Dad's first time on set, as he took my place at the close of the week, experiencing first hand the detail and nuance of what it means to be behind the scenes in the production of a movie. All in all, we couldn't be more thrilled with the professionalism of the production company, the hard-working crew, and the noble character of the cast. <br />
<br />
Here are a few snapshots from the week! Enjoy! :)<br />

The courtyard of this <i>warehouse-turned-condominium</i> building is a sprawling area, with many quiet nooks. Some reserved for outdoor entertainment; some for quiet reflection; some for simply enjoying nature . . . the privacy afforded here is an urban-dwellers dream! <br />

Even the feral cats think so, as they slink out into the open areas to steal away food left for them by renters and homeowners. This sly sire of a cat thought he was watching us undetected, hidden away in the lirirope . . . but we knew he was there!<br />

The Actor just received the request from The Wardrobe Department for his measurements ~ I'm almost afraid to pull out the tape measure, lest I find my little boy has grown even more! <br />
<br />
Also, the preliminary schedule has landed in the inbox. Not too many days hence, we'll be On Location! <br />

<br />
The completed project my son, The Actor,<a href="http://mysontheactor.blogspot.com/2010/04/dont-miss-it.html"> filmed in the first quarter of this year </a>has successfully rolled out onto<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1392247/"> the television screens of multitudes</a> in the past four weeks. The experience was a unique one, as it was our first step into the ratings game, and all that comes with being a project for a major network.<br />
<br />
I think it goes without saying that anyone associated with a project would like to see said project move forward, as it means employment, and a finished product that can lead to other things. However, as the Big TV Network Execs would have it, The TV Show is not returning for a second season. We received this news after hanging in the balance in this wise ~ only four of the six episodes were shown. The window of <i>:thumbsup:</i> opportunity slim as the edge of a dime.<br />
<br />
<b>Reviews.</b> <i>The good, the bad, the ugly. </i><br />
<b>The numbers</b>. <i>High.</i> <br />
<b>The Ratings.</b> <i> Low.</i> <br />
<b>The Cast.</b> <i>Involved with their fans via internet in a manner, the likes of which I had never seen before. </i><br />
<br />
In the end, no dice for a second season. We officially received this news on Monday. <br />
<br />
Now, The Actor is a solid child, one capable of great feats of emotional maturity during a season of life that can be labeled turbulent for many. When he received the news, his disappointment was present, yes . . . but so was his presence of mind to move on, move forward, let it be.<br />
<br />
<i>I find this so amazingly lovable about him.</i><br />
<br />
So it was that we began Tuesday with a fresh slate. A new horizon stood before us. <i>What manner of project would now paint the platform? </i> On tap: an audition for tape, a pilot. Only . . .<i> The Actor was uncharacteristically under the weather. </i><br />
<br />
We bided time and tylenol, in hopes that he'd revive with enough energy to produce a tape worthy of the project. The day waned long, and it appeared as though we'd have to arise early in the morning to complete the task.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Not so fast</i></b>, said the ringing phone, after supper. <b> Team Israel was calling, and the news was good!</b><br />
<br />
The Actor has booked a film, we're happy to report ~ and it will be shooting practically in our back yard! New Orleans bound, the news is as a river of water in a dry place, the shadow of a rock in a weary land.<br />
<br />
<i>When one door closes, another opens. </i><br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Acting Coach.</b><br />
<br />
<i><b>Ours</b></i>.<br />
<br />
<b>Our Favorite Acting Coach.</b><br />
<br />
<b><i>We need him.</i></b> He fills a vital role in the audition process, and relieves the parental unit any undo stress and strain within the parent/child relationship. <br />
<br />
You know ~ the age old dynamic of one's child listens better to someone else than the parent? It operates even within the bounds of putting an audition on tape.<br />
<br />
As the Mom, wearing multiple hats comes naturally, however, some hats are best left to a professional. In the entertainment industry, that's how it should be: <b><i> the Acting Coach coaches the Actor, the Mom drives. </i></b> Case in point:<br />

It was the year our family began homeschooling in earnest. Sure, his older sister had homeschooled her senior year of high school - but that was different. This? This change to the schedule was prompted by various reasons, brought to the forefront by Hurricane Katrina.<br />
<br />
Little did we know, those years ago, that the decision to home educate would be such a benefit to our family's forward motion to come. Without the flexibility provided by homeschooling, we'd be sitting ducks in this industry.<br />
<br />
Yet, elementary school held alot of pleasant, memories for my boy. So, when the opportunity to give back, and reconnect came along, he was all over it with joy.<br />
<br />
Here are photos from a recent book signing at West Wortham Elementary school ~ my son donated a copy of the novel upon which<i> </i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0817177/"><i>his upcoming movie</i></a> is based. Then, he gave a presentation about what it is like to work as a thespian, and the importance of reading.<br />
<br />
<br />

“I love Hollywood, but after about a month of being away, I miss it here,” Israel said. “They have no trees or lakes. They have dry mountains and freeways.”</div></div><div id="story_assets" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(239, 239, 239); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(239, 239, 239); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(239, 239, 239); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(239, 239, 239); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><div id="featured_assets" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />

It stunts his social life, he says, though he realizes it’s the only way he can pursue an acting career without uprooting his family. His mother, Angela, put aside her Mary Kay cosmetics business to be a full-time homemaker, tutor and chaperone for Israel’s business trips.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt;">She and Keller travel with him. Their longest trip so far lasted six months. His father, Gil, a computer programmer for Hancock Bank, stays home with Aubrey, Israel’s 17-year-old sister.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt;">Israel is one of seven siblings. Four of them are adults who’ve left home. His family shares a large mobile home across the road from Riverline Lake. Their wooded backyard is perfect for paintball.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt;">Israel became an actor by a stroke of luck. He tagged along to community theater productions with Aubrey. At 12-years-old, Israel performed in “The Miracle Worker” in Biloxi and “To Kill A Mocking Bird” in Gulfport.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt;">In late 2007, his sister heard about a talent agency’s visit to Biloxi. She wanted to try out for a role on the television series, “Suite Life of Zack and Cody.” Israel auditioned, too. His sister didn’t get the part, but a talent agent signed him up for possible acting jobs.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt;">“That was the hardest night of my life,” said Israel. “I hated it for my sister.”<br />

<br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt;">In 2009, Israel spent five weeks filming “Flipped,” his first movie.<br />
<br />

Israel’s mother said Reiner wanted to reassure him it’s the finished product that matters.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt;"><br />
Israel has attended two invitation-only fundraisers for celebrities. They introduced him to experienced young actors, including Kyle Massey from “That’s So Raven” and “Corey in the House.”</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt;"><br />
At two auditions, Israel was one of two actors in the final round. One was for the role of the son in CBS’s “The Good Wife.” The other was to portray actor Ashton Kutcher as a young teen. The other guy was selected both times.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt;">But one of those directors told Israel he “glowed the room” with his audition.<br />
<br />

If they don’t, another part will come along. It’s hard work when the filming starts, but I really enjoy it. I’m having fun.”<br />

It was a bow-wow of a great time last night, as my son, The Actor took Annie Hall the Border Collie to her very first publicity event. Oh, all right. It was The Actor's first official PR event as well ~ but whose counting? :D<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1392247/"></a>This morning my inbox housed a link provided by the GilGuy, which took me straight to a review of last night's taping of the new sitcom. Since this individual has commented several times on the show, I was familiar with the site. While we were not present at last night's filming, I do agree, based on last week's experience, as to the atmosphere and camaraderie that has been developed on set.</div><br />
Take a read for yourself, and enjoy an objective, behind the scenes look at this new series! <br />

In anticipation of an audition by The Actor called a Chemistry Read, I placed a phone call to my husband. Chatting about this read my husband remarked:<br />
<br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;">"You know, when I was 15, I was doing Chemistry Reads also . . . and placing top in the state!"</span></i><br />
<br />
Of course, he was speaking of actual beakers and formulas; mineral composition and the Table of Elements.<br />
<br />
Oh, what different personnas they are - the father and the son! Oh, what different paths their lives seem to take . . .<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, the Chemistry Read in Hollywood is a very good thing.<br />
<br />
<i>Welcome to Hollywood, Daddy-O.</i> <br />

Yeah, yeah, yeah . . . I've been tardy on the recent posts. All my creative energies have gone toward revamping this blog site. And besides: it's not so easy keeping up with this lad, let me tell ya! <br />
<br />
So, today, a gratuitous quick pic: a moment with Hair and Makeup, taken just moments prior to the taping of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1392247/">the most recent episode</a> last week.<br />
<br />
When he's not auditioning, or schooling, or taping, or sleeping - he's busy at work writing his very first screenplay. I've stood back and watched as he diligently puts his thoughts to paper, this time, in script-speak. I'm excited to read it. <br />
<br />
Who knows what is around the next corner? I'll keep ya filled in more regularly, folks. I promise. :DAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05265615183804178890noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-494387971268193081.post-90526904567097368082010-02-15T11:45:00.000-08:002010-02-15T12:10:56.827-08:00That Signature . . .<div style="text-align: left;">During the filming of<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0817177/"> the most recent movie</a>, my son, The Actor, had ample opportunity to pen his name in the book, or upon the notepad of several. It was during <a href="http://mysontheactor.blogspot.com/2009/07/autographs.html">one particularly elongated autograph session</a> that The Actor came to realize that there was a better way to stamping his name, than to print. While he was adept as cursive handwriting, as all 15 year olds certainly are, he was content up to that point with a simple signature. Fitting it was, for his life up until that fateful day.</div><div><br /></div><div>He immediately set about to find his signature style. <i>Practice, practice, practice . . . </i>until, finally, he set his heart upon a new "John Hancock". He has used it with flair over and over again. It's befitting him. It suits his new endeavors. It works. :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Recently having the opportunity to attend a public screening, the new, fresh face of Hollywood was quickly engaged for none other than: <i>his autograph.</i></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0MTVGeeYXV7ltC3a_1CKY8uOAKvkxww9b9-wY44EZrWR6LynRPFCU6p5NwsJaW4EXL9D1tCg4lA7cP6ins02O23xJg_6O8J2OY9ztoIfIY9655L-gcxTE_kk-nL5OkB-yKnz076D_3wUl/s320/Israel+Fans+screening+3.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438562058698997362" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div>Sign he did.
