In the past I have never really regarded myself as an actor,
but this aspect of work is starting to inch its way more and more into my daily
life. While in Canada, modeling was modeling, while in Singapore, it was
modeling with a few additional movements and the odd acting on camera. Now that
I am in Bangkok, there are many more TVC (TV commercial) castings that all
involve acting to some degree or another.
I have had a casting for at least 3 TVC this week, and I
have to more on Sunday. Hopefully I start to become more comfortable and normal
looking with it so that I can get booked. It was great for one I just had to
talk and eat a salad (you know me and my veggies). Personally I am starting to
feel like I am not looking as awkward when doing some of these things, but you
never know.
My past acting experience (with the exception of a few
corporate video jobs) ended when I was in grade 9. I was the leader of the
green elf gang (the short elves) in a Romeo and Juliet type production, with a
knife fight and everything haha.
I am trying to provide a very quick update for you guys, as
I am about to run to a shoot this morning. Another interesting aspect of my
Bangkok life is that I have work of some sort, every single day. It’s nice; the
time has been flying by. The downside of course is that I haven’t exactly had
much opportunity to explore.
Here are some examples of a few meals I have dug into
lately. The first was 45 baht at the food court outside my gym.
Followed by what I like to cook at home. Chicken, brown rice
and vegetables, I could not believe how much I missed that meal, can and likely
will eat that or some form almost every day.
And the last meal is a Thai Curry Rice dish that was a bit
more expensive, 149 baht at a restaurant. You will also notice a pair of
hipster socks as its recently been discovered that Kevin is a bit of a
hipster.
I will also share with you some pictures of my recent changes
to my appearance. The result of the job I will be working today has led me to
the challenging task of removing the majority of my body hair. This is truly
weird for me as the last time I shaved my legs was Mr. Mount competition where
I lost to Mr. MacAulay in his daisy duke shorts.
I have told a few of you what the job would be. For those I
haven’t told, any guesses?
