Chasing The Dream: January 2005
http://chasingthedream.blogspot.com/2005_01_01_archive.html
My move to Los Angeles and the experiences that follow. Wednesday, January 05, 2005. Indebted to my sister. Joining the union is an important step in my career and one of the first hurdles that I have overcome while being out here. I am pretty proud of myself for getting in the union within six months of moving here. There are people who have been here for years and have not been eligible to join. Posted by wynder @ 10:56 PM.

Chasing The Dream: June 2004
http://chasingthedream.blogspot.com/2004_06_01_archive.html
My move to Los Angeles and the experiences that follow. Thursday, June 17, 2004. Monday night, still on no sleep, I had the last "Patel Leads" sketch show that went very well. My friend "M" and I had worked very hard on the show and people really liked it. We were a little sad when I drove her home, but we knew going in that I was moving to L.A., so we just decided that we were glad we got to do a show together. T-minus one week and counting. I have my going away party this Friday. Thursday, June 10, 2004.

http://chasingthedream.blogspot.com/2005/12/chicago-bears-rule.html
My move to Los Angeles and the experiences that follow. Sunday, December 04, 2005. The Chicago Bears Rule! I would like to congratulate the Chicago Bears on their victory over the Green Bay Packers today. The Bears really put it together and managed a fine victory. Green Bay had no answers and couldn't pull out the win. So hats off to Lovie et al for a hard fought victory. I hope you are happy Mark M. Posted by wynder @ 11:58 PM. Damn right the Bears put together a fine effort! Los Angeles, California.

Chasing The Dream: The Headshot Saga
http://chasingthedream.blogspot.com/2006/02/headshot-saga.html
My move to Los Angeles and the experiences that follow. Tuesday, February 21, 2006. I finally got new headshots taken, approved and reproduced. But it only took 2 months to do so. My original headshot was not getting me auditions. I was more concerned about commercial auditions because I trust my commercial agent more so than my theatrical agent. I asked him to recommend a photographer that they trusted and they gave me the name of a guy named Maximo. Yes, Maximo. Oh, well I wanted to print off a proof s...

Chasing The Dream: Ups and Downs
http://chasingthedream.blogspot.com/2006/04/ups-and-downs.html
My move to Los Angeles and the experiences that follow. Sunday, April 09, 2006. The Hoya and I went to California Adventure last week. California Adventure is the Disney theme park right next door to Disneyland. It has some fun stuff, but overall it is a poor man's Disneyland with none of the nostalgia that Disneyland has. I don't know where I know you, but I recognize you. I'm John Powers". So I shook his hand and said:. Hi, I'm Bryan". Without knowing it, John Powers had filled me with confidence.

My move to Los Angeles and the experiences that follow. Wednesday, February 01, 2006. For the past four months I have been working on a show with two of my friends that moved out here last summer.

January 13, 2006 we made our debut at the Chicago Sketchfest. View my com...

Chasing The Dream: The Headshot Saga, Part II
http://chasingthedream.blogspot.com/2006/03/headshot-saga-part-ii.html
My move to Los Angeles and the experiences that follow. Friday, March 03, 2006. The Headshot Saga, Part II. We took them to the reproduction house and gave them to the lady to take a look at. She printed out some quick proofs and came over to me looking concerned. I wasn't worried because everything else had been easy, so this should be as well, right? The better be worth it!

Chasing The Dream: July 2004
http://chasingthedream.blogspot.com/2004_07_01_archive.html
My move to Los Angeles and the experiences that follow. Wednesday, July 28, 2004. Monday was my first day working as an extra in Hollywood. I was excited to get started working and on top of that, I would be earning my first union voucher as an actor. I only need three to be eligible for SAG so I was anxious to get started. The first shot was of one of the characters driving up to his house, getting out of his car, getting his mail and then going inside the house. I was told to walk to three differen...

Chasing The Dream: The Working Life
http://chasingthedream.blogspot.com/2006/01/working-life.html
My move to Los Angeles and the experiences that follow. Saturday, January 21, 2006. The other thing that really gets my goat is when people don't do any planning to get to there job on time. Here is one such exchange. Me: How can I help you? Joe: Yeah, I am supposed to be at a job and I can't find it? Me: Okay, what is your name? Joe: (exasperated) Joe Smith! Me: Okay, so you are supposed to be at Cal Tech in 10 minutes. Me: Okay. Where are you? Joe: I'm not sure. Me: Alright. Do you have the address?
