10/13/2012-ACTING-Second Night With Swamp Road Terror

-I had some car problems this night (me?….car problems?….Nooooo 🙂 ) so I barely made it in time for this night. It was raining so that affected the draw but we still had a great time. I also got to wander around a little bit outside and, in doing so, had people cue up to take pics with me-sometimes getting a “hit” right there 🙂 I heard one girl later in the house actually fell on the floor and curled into a ball. You get some tough guys at times but usually one of us will get at least one good “hit” on them. My 2nd “hit” gets a great reaction almost every time-again, cause I’m almost in complete darkness, Plus, when you enter that room, Jason has some really creepy music on a loop which can be heard thru out the rest of the path. At times I was even following the group for a short distance. I can only go so far though…there is a section of the house that is literally so dark that you’re bouncing off walls. I saw this one group going thru one time holding on to each other like they were on a conga line 🙂 And let me tell ya, there are some damn loud screamers out there 🙂 The last group for this night took the cake…..they must of been in the waiting room for 10 minutes till they went in-they were too scared to go inside! One of them even turned around and didn’t even go in.

-I had to go pick up a rental car after this for something I had to do the next night. That last group delayed me a bit, but I was still within the time before Hertz closed…until one of my tires blew on the way to pick up the car 😦 Luckily, Jason & Cindy got me there in time to get the car. Of course, then I had to wait till AAA arrived to change the tire….in the rain…I didn’t get home till 2:30 AM…and had to be on the road by 6:30 AM to be in Albany for a rehearsal. What a life huh? I wouldn’t trade it though-the worst day doing acting is still WAY better than the best day at the normal 9 to 5 jobs I was doing. Guess we’ll all see if I’m there next week 🙂

10/12/2012-ACTING-Live Performance With Swamp Road Terror

-I was asked by Jason Piraino (producer / director of “The Dollmaker”) if I wanted to help out with his Annual Halloween Attraction-Swamp Road Terror. Since my character, Horace Merkins, was already in this, I said sure. I’d never done anything like this before. I have to say it’s quite a trip-especially when you get the timing right. I’m one of those in the house and you have to time it so you don’t just hit the “hit” the 1st or last person…or even miss the group entirely. You want to ideally get the middle…or the person(s) who is the “screamer” or the group of 3 to 5 people. My 1st area is more of a set up for the others initially (although there were a few times I got them good here-one group basically stayed out of the area and wouldn’t go further after the 1st “hit.” I also do the 4th “hit” and that gets them almost every time due to me being in almost complete darkness. To add to the atmosphere of that one, one of the dolls that’s on a table in this won is wound up so that “haunting doll music” goes on. Like I said earlier, it was a trip to do this. Admittedly, I misfired a few times but that’s OK. I have backup 🙂 It would be great to see some familiar faces here but remember, while “Horace” is always at this, I’m not so if you see him and say ‘Hi Wayne!” and get charged…well, don’t say I didn’t warn you 🙂 The highlight was this group of almost all “screamers”-3 girls and 2 guys. They were freaking so bad. At the end, they were sprinting out of the house-to which Jason sprinted after them, grabbed the glove of one of the girls and went back in the house 🙂 Pics are up on my page on Facebook.

10/7/2012-ACTING-Failed Attempt Filming With “The Dollmaker”

-2 days after filming on “Ward’s Island” and I’m back to filming on “The Dollmaker.” Unfortunately, due to rain the shoot had to be cancelled. While it’s important to get stuff filmed, making sure equipment is safe is even more important-especially when it’s the video camera 🙂 There’s always next time….pics are up on my page on Facebook.

10/5/2012-Last Day Filming on “Ward’s Island”

-Last day of filming on “Ward’s Island.” To my surprise, I was playing a soldier instead of a “Contagious.” I did bring my “hair shortening” stuff just in case. Good thing too. I got to do a number of scenes including one w/ actor Wes Studi. I’m the soldier w/ the shotgun 🙂 It was very windy this day-so windy it almost knocked me over! For some reason, a cap that could comfortably fit my head couldn’t be found. The one I did wear was so tight it was starting to give me a tension headache. The things one does for acting 🙂 It was great working with some many great people and I only wish I could’ve been there for more days (plus not getting injured on 9/23). Onward & upward! 🙂

10/4/2012-ACTING-Fifth Day Filming on “Ward’s Island”

-Back for my fifth day of filming on “Ward’s Island.” This time I was back being one of the “Contagious” at Ward’s Island. I was in several scenes. One of them involved being in a scene with Scream Queen Debbie Rochon-who was a pleasure to work with. I can say about everyone who was here actually-very cool & professional group of people.

-What was kinda funny was hearing producer Chris Olsen (Christopher Ray) telling me that he sees me everywhere 🙂 A couple of times I had to be put in what I call “time out” due to this-I was already seen in one scene and couldn’t be seen for another. Guess you can make a drinking game out of how many times I show up in this 🙂 Course, that all depends on the editing-I could be cut out of a number of things. Very much looking forward to the final product!

9/28/2012-ACTING-First Day Filming on “Transformation”

-Yesterday I did my 1st day of filming with “transformation”-a new film by Brian Hewitt. I play a character named “Malachi.” Unfortunately, lighting wasn’t good enough so it was basically a rehearsal but we all had a great time. I’m glad the guys liked what I came up with in regards to playing the role. Hopefully we’ll be doing more filming soon. Pics from yesterday-as well as a dress rehearsal I did the day before-are up on the WWJ PAGE ON FACEBOOK.
