Following the run of the play, I auditioned a bit in NYC and booked an episode of FX's "Louie," which we shot in late February. I can't really say anything about the episode, but it was a change of pace for me in a fun way. I then headed back to L.A. to jump into what's left of pilot season, which has been a lot busier for me this year. Lately, it's been hard not to notice how hard my agents and manager work for me on both coasts. I feel very fortunate.
When I go from "weeks of work" to "weeks of auditioning," I start to think about my goals for the coming months. Three of my goals are to get a recurring role on an episodic, to work Off-Broadway, and to do an August Wilson play.
In a couple days I'll be flying back to New York to audition for the Public Theater's 2012 Shakespeare Lab, about which I am crazy excited. The Public Theater has been a dream since I saw a production of "The Good Negro" there in early 2009. I've since seen about five of its productions, all of which were exciting -- and it doesn't hurt that the tickets don't cost an arm and a leg. I've heard nothing but great things about the Shakespeare Lab and think it'd be a great way to transition from L.A. to NYC. I have to say, bouncing back and forth like I have for the last 10 months has been great -- putting aside the cost of flying. There are things I love about both cities; ultimately I'd love to just be bicoastal, but that's easier said than done.
