    My episode was tonight!

    I have to wait for the torrent to watch it myself, but my entire family, and some friends have seen it and they all said it was great. Apparently I'm a good actor! I'm so excited right now.


    Here's the ep's synopsis on ID:

    Got To Lock And Load
    Air Date: 12/21

    In 1997 members of the Republic of Texas separatist group took Joe Rowe and his wife hostage. The Texas Rangers were able to negotiate their release, and capture four separatists, however two members, Richard Keyes and Mike Matson got away. Fleeing into the mountainous hills of Davis, Texas they spent two days evading helicopters and police dogs, eventually Matson pulls his pistol, preferring to go out in standoff. Keyes keeps running. Using an underground Militia group, Keyes is able to hideout in the woods undetected, until a tail leads the FBI to his hideout, and his capture.

    w000000! I'm an actor,
    And as I promised I tried to plug gotwoot.
    Once I watch it, I'll let you all know if I was successful.
    When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills

    It should be S02E09 (air date tonight). If I'm not mistaken, I've been seeing the torrents pop up on TPB a day or two after. I just search for the word "almost", the show pops up along with some Monty Python stuff.

    Since I was the lead, I should be in almost every scene (excepting the ones where the police are looking for me and coordinating) for an hour.

    I'm refreshing the boards pretty frantically, and I'll let you guys know when I see it.

    Eventually I got it sorted out, but there ended up being a whole bunch of bull shit involved, some of it in contradiction to the contracts I had signed,

    Also, they lied about getting copies of the episode. It was part of the whole deal that we get a copy of every episode we are in for our reel,. Standard operating procedure, really. it's a common practice. I was told that I'd get a copy, when I was at the audition, when I signed the contracts, and when I was on set. When I inquired recently about it, they told me they weren't doing it, and that I should buy the episode, if not for the torrents (which weren't available for this show until a month or so ago) I'd have to buy the iTunes, then play it in iTunes while capturing your screen with something like SnagIt software:

    Shady operation all around, but the only one in Nor Cal. As soon as work eases up a bit (aprilish) I'll get right back to it, and get into some movies, other TV shows and
    maybe some commercials too. On that note, from what I understand, having a whole episode under my belt as opposed to a handful of extra roles should help me immensely in the future to get more roles. If all goes well, this is just the beginning my friends. And damnit! every time I'm on film, I'll try to slip a gotwoot into there. In this episode, I type it on a keyboard a few times, mouth it while I type, and try to write it in lasahna.

    And Sapphire, follw your dreams! Make it happen, keep your head to the ground listening for casting calls and throw yourself out there. This episode is the only acting I've done (yet).

    But I got to watch the episode with my family when I traveled to my parents house for x-,mas. That was SOOOO much fun to watch. SQUEEE! I was on tv, so ridiculous.I think I even acted well, though I'm a bit biased in my assessment,

    Did you two watch it? What did you think?

    Moral of the story:

    DO be easy going with your care-takers,

    DON'T call your family.



    I have to wonder, whether this guy would have used facebook if it was around at the time. They didn't do it this time, but there was another case where they tracked a guy because he was using the internet to see how law enforcement were going on their search.

    I'm actually rather interested in the "predatory instincts" they brushed over in the beginning - what makes a good criminal, what doesn't?

    Did Face Book give the IPs away or something? A VPN could totally be used to throw off his scent hah.

    How distracting were the camaras, Kashi?

    The guy went into hiding, but created a new facebook account and befriended his old one. That's how they tracked him.

    It was EXHAUSTING! we filmed from sun up to sun down 5 straight days, And we discovered the best way to make me look tired on film was to have me run up and down hills for a while until I was tired. (Then we had like a minute to film =P)

    There IS so much more to see, though we never will. There was probably 40+ hours opf film of me, and maybe 25 minutes made it into the show.

    It took a little getting used tom, since I'd never acted before, ever.
    But after a little while you don't notice the cameras. The director does an amazing job
    of telling you what he is looking for and what he wants you to do, and you simply follow directions. That's all there is to acting! SO easy =D. Because you are focused on what you've been told to do, pretty soon the cameras become invisible.

    Frankly, the kid is an idiot. He liked to believe he has a six sense for crime and protecting himself and that he was a predator. But really, he was a dumbass. He was in the right place at the right time and became part of the hostage situation as a result. He only escaped the federales in the Davis Mountains because of his friend's sacrifice and the mad he had of supplies. He burned every bridge he had afterwards by behaving to aggressively and proactively with out the militias blessing. Though I agree with you, straight up. DON'T CALL YOUR FAMILY!
    What makes a good criminal you ask? Getting away with it =P, and successfully executing your heists.

    I just watched this tonight. Awesome job, Cal! It's so exciting to see you on tv! Very entertaining episode, and I laughed out loud that they subtitled the old guy. What a weird and paranoid kid. You still give off the impression of being a normal dude even when acting deranged, but when they had the clips of the actual guy, he totally gave off a creepy vibe.

    It's too bad you don't have access to the footage to be able to make a bloopers reel :P
