Greetings!
We
had such a great time at Actorfest! We met so many wonderful
people. We had a full, busy day-- 5 guest speakers came to share
their insight one on one with actors, and we raffled off over $1000
worth of prizes! Between the popcorn, the people, and the prizes,
the TTG booth was a real hit! The winners of the raffle are posted
on the right.
G Charles Wright's class starts TONIGHT!! We're so excited for
this one, it won't be here until at least next summer, and G is SO
MUCH FUN!
Auditions for Talent To Go Membership are next Monday. Please
check the info on the right if you are interested.
On Dec 2nd we have an event open to non members to meet Joe
Straczynski . See below for details.
We are looking forward to meeting you at a TTG event
soon!

Thor- starring Natalie Portman
Joe's Bio:
J. Michael Straczynski (his friends call him joe...oddly
enough, the people who don't like him also call him joe, which he
finds vaguely distressing) is a writer/producer who has been
working virtually nonstop in television and film for 25 years. In
television he has written nearly 200 produced episodes and 10 TV
movies on such shows as Murder She Wrote, Twilight Zone and Walker
Texas Ranger. As executive producer he created and wrote for
Babylon 5, Crusade, and Jeremiah (for Showtime). As a writer for
film, his produced credits include Changeling (directed by Clint
Eastwood), Ninja Assassin (produced by the Wachowskis), and the
story for Thor (directed by Kenneth Branagh). Films about to go
into production include Underworld 4, starring Kate Beckinsale,
which begins shooting in March, and World War Z, slated to start
shooting in June with Brad Pitt. His current slate of scripts in
process include Shattered Union and Vanishing Point for
Bruckheimer/Disney, Forbidden Planet for Warner Bros., and Nano for
Dreamworks Animation. He also recently developed Lensman for Ron
Howard/Imagine Films and another screenplay for Steven Spielberg.
He has recently begun dabbling in directing.
Note from Pat: Actually he has done more than dabble. He directed
several projects including a Babylon 5 movie. Plus he will be
directing a film he wrote set to start in 2012.
8pm talk and Q & A Dec 2nd at On Your Mark Studios in Sherman
Oaks. Limited seating. Seats must be paid for in advance: $20

Liz Martinez Nelson ,
associate from David Rapaport Casting
Series:
"90210" CW
"The Life and Times of RJ Berger" MTV
snapshot interview with
Liz:
- Where
are you from?
- San
Diego, CA
- Where
did you go to college? Major?
- Denison University in Ohio, BFA in
Theatre
- What
led you to casting?
- I have a
background in acting but I knew I never wanted to pursue it as a
career. Casting allows me to stay close to a thing I love but in a
whole different way. The month I learned that casting was a job I
started submitting my resume and landed a job in a great feature
casting office.
- What
is it you like about casting?
-
See above :)
- What
are some highlights in your career so far?
-
Working on the pilot of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES was one of the
highlights. There was a lot of push and pull and it was fun to be a
part of such a high profile and well-received show.
- What
is a pet peeve
actors do when they come in?
- My pet peeves are when people don't have
their headshot stapled and when they are not familiar with or they
don't understand the material.
- What
is the best thing an actor can do for an audition?
- Get their
nerves under control, be normal, and do their best.
- What
marketing tool, service or idea do you think is really effective
for actors?
-
Going to workshops is a great way to be seen and more importantly,
learn about the casting process and have your questions about
auditioning and casting answered.
- What
are the 3 things every actor should be doing?
-
Staying positive, focused and active in their career.
