Booked a Baskin Robbins Commercial!

Published on March 10, 2011

Funny Story:

I got a call from my agent telling me that i had an audition for Baskin Robbins. I was told I needed to wear kakis and a blue polo to resemble an employee. I had the kakis ... but no blue polo. Luckily, my roommate had a blue polo in stock, saving the day. Only it wasn't the tradition BR blue, it was light blue, but hey, it gets the job done. 

The initial audition on March 3rd went really well. Callbacks were to be held on the 8th. Well ... the 8th came and went. As did the 9th and now here we are on the 10th ... no callback. With a gentle sigh I returned the blue polo to my roommate. 

A few hours later I get a call from my agent. Sweet, another audition ...  but when I answered, I got a surprise:

Felix, my agent said "I'm calling to book you on a project that I didn't even know you were 'on avail' for".  Yep, you guessed it ... Baskin Robbins. And on top of that, it's a National cable commercial officially making me a member of SAG!

Moral of the story ... sometimes the best things happen, when you just let go and let it be.
