My Ford commercial

It's funny how things happen. I help actors, but I was never looking to be one. Then a few months ago, I got a call asking me to participate in a new car owner survey. Since I had recently purchased a 2010 Ford Escape Hybrid, and really loved the car, I thought, why not. Long story short, they ended up filming me for a commercial and it's just started airing. I thought it might air when I first received a letter from SAG stating that I was now eligible to join the union.

For those of you anxiously auditioning for commercials, I say to you this. You can do everything right and still not book. Sometimes, there's just the luck factor that makes the job go your way. I'm not sure I have a bright future in commercials., but this was definitely a fun experience that I will remember for a long time. In the meantime, I feel much more comfortable behind the scenes helping my clients book their own commercials.
