So I got this notice in my goodly little email box to audition for a reality TV show. It’s like America’s Top Model for men. Fodder for lonely women no doubt. So I am sitting here wondering the merits of such an endeavor. To be or not to be real. All in the selfish act of shameless self-promotion. But does this dilute my cache as an actor? Wait, I have cashe? Say wah?
Man, I haven’t even scored a meaningful role yet and I am worried about my cache. I am pretty sure that I don’t even know how to spell that correctly. Hmm, a right click here, a drop down menu there and walla. Mac OS X dictionary says that it’s spelled cachet. Fancy that. I love technology.
Now about being a hunk of meat for sale. I am a little retiscent to do this. But what the hell, I probably won’t get chosen and I’ll add this to my ever-burgeoning list of auditions. Stay tuned.

You could write a book on how not to audition. I’m writing a book on how not to interview.
I say go for it… that’s assuming its not on some 3rd or 4th tier TV channel. Its all about (positive) exposure man… And hey, if its one of those shows where viewers call in or send text messages to vote, I could assemble a whole army for that purpose… you’ll be guaranteed a win… and we could split the prize!!!!!!
Hey James, this is a book, chapter by chapter, you just read the introduction.
Stone, I went for it. The audition process was kinda cool. If nothing else, I have an inside track on the picking of the process to some of these shows. I find out early next month if I am in or not. Stay tuned.
