    A trailer just came out for a movie I’m in

    And I’m not in one second of it, even though I have a strong supporting role. I know I did an awful bland job. They have all the other actors pictures on the movie Instagram page except mine, they’re following all the other actors but me. I’m 33 and I...

    Seeing active series regulars at commercial auditions
