How To Fill A Slow Week

It's almost the end of pilot season so the amount of casting calls has slowed down in the last few days.
There are always roles to be cast in independent films and commercials BUT the amount of meaty TV roles will be scarce until mid-summer.

So what does a dadager do to keep the acting chops of the artist in good shape?

The dadager keeps him busy with a combination of improv and acting classes. 

I got lucky because I found a great acting class for him in Sherman Oaks.  The class is about one mile from our home and is perfect for him for a couple of reasons. 

The teacher has woked with actors who later landed large roles in the "Twilight" films, "Superman Returns", "Bring It On" and "Star Wars: Episode One".

The class is filled with 20-25 kids each week so it gives him a chance to interact with kids his own age trying to become working actors.  I love the fact that it gives him a sense of community in his new environment.

The improv class is less than a mile from our place.  The class allows Zach to use the crazy side of his personality in a forum that encourages kids to act out and be goofy.

He has a weekly schedule filled with school, auditions, classes and quality time with his peers.  Zach stays busy and focused and that makes me a happy dadager.

If you haven't had a chance to check out his IMDB page...here is the link to the artist:
