Not Playing

High drama at the Casa de Filer.

Little guy was asked by the music teacher to play the stinkbug in the first grade play. He wants to be an army ant with his buddies instead. The stinkbug is a speaking role, but the army ants get to march and sing a cool song.

He's supposed to make a decision today. I guess he'll consult with his agent and PR folks at recess, maybe take a meeting with the producer and director to discuss creative direction. Not sure.

Personally I think he should play the stinkbug. Everyone knows the stage is where you build your chops. All the greats do it. He has a sit-com pilot set to film later in the spring and the play should wrap in plenty of time for him to be ready. No, it doesn't pay, but it rounds out the bio. Which reminds me, we need some new head and shoulder shots made....
