Professional
Actor/Producer/Author/Casting Director
"Alien
Actor" Bill Blair was a special guest on the call
and at the live seminar event last week. He wrote the book on
professionalism for actors -- literally -- entitled, "The
Professional's Talent Handbook." He has agreed to
come back for more calls and seminars! What a fascinating
speaker! |
 We
will have producer
Eugene Mandelcorn as a featured speaker on future calls --
possibly as early as next Saturday. We'll let you know soon. |
 Congratulations are in order for our friend and APS member Janét
Vincent Lee, an amazingly talented lady, who landed a fairly
large role in a feature film with ... oh, no; we can't say the
name of this number one box-office star until it is officially
announced in the trades. Hmmm. I suppose we can only
say that the feature is shooting in France (her role, at least,
with this person we can't name who makes France his home now)
and that the star has a connection to a certain attraction at
Disneyland and has broken a couple of box office records.
Hopefully, we can break the
suspense soon and let you know this actor's name. Maybe
Janét will tell us on today's call ... |

 Philippe
Mora Confirmed for
Next Week's Call!
Multiple award-winning producer and director Mr.
Philippe Mora
will be our very special guest on next week's call. Mr. Mora has
produced dozens of feature films. Four features are currently in
active development or pre-production. One is rumored to star the
number one male box office draw in the world. And, yes, there will be
a "Communion II"

2007
Rock &
Mariette Hartley - 7/18/07
We're regularly running meeting
major players (and running into old friends) in the industry.
On July 18, we met multiple-award-winning producer/director
writer Kenneth Johnson; legendary producer, director
Chuck Bowman and major star Mariette Hartley.
It was also great to be able to catch up with Lou Ferrigno
after not seeing him for over a dozen years. We expect to
have at least one or two of these special people on our calls in
the near future. We will announce it here, on our Calendar
of Events, and in the weekly newsletter. |

SHOW NOTES |

July 21, 2007
TeleSeminar Call:
It was a very interesting call today. Rock introduced the
call and shared a lot of insight and strategy with the callers.
Due to a
technical glitch, the customary last-minute confirmation e-mail
(with the call-in number and access code) did not go out prior
to the call. As a result, the callers were fewer in number
than usual. It made for a great call.
Trena Marie
Hill talked about her latest "The Making of " project. She
discussed her television show and how interested actors could
appear on it. Award-winning producer Sherwin Buydens
suggested two of the actors who worked on his film as potential
great guests for Trena's "A Loving Light" show. Sherwin
said he would call them after the TeleSeminar ended and
encourage them to come meet Trena at the live seminar event the
next day in Studio City.
Bill Hooey
joined the call later on. He discussed his current
projects and the upcoming Moondance Film Festival which he and
Universal Studios are hosting/promoting in September. Bill
offered to get passes for callers and listeners of the recorded
call. "This will be an amazing opportunity to meet and
network with some of the biggest names in the business.
It's a three-day event," Bill shared.
Trena Hill
referred to, and actually read portions of a fascinating book.
If there is sufficient interest in the book, we'll put an
Amazon.com link up in a few days. Just let us know.
Rock @ HollywoodSuccess.com .
Please be
sure to let your actor friends know about next week's
TeleSeminar event. It is very rare, indeed, that we are
able to have a living legend such as Philippe Mora join us.
He has four feature films in pre-production or active
development. Please join us and meet this amazing industry
icon.
Rather than
listing tons of information here as to what was said on the
call, we're simply going to suggest that you click the telephone
button above and listen to the call yourself. You can fast
forward, go back, listen to certain sections over and over,
whatever you want to do. Isn't technology wonderful?
Matt Way's
STARRING role with Susan Sarandon and Danny DeVito (from Matt's
own screenplay) was discussed. Matt will have several APS
members working in his multi-million dollar project. |

Cortelious |
In
addition to being an extraordinary actor, Cortelious is one of the most
fascinating people I have ever met. He has "beyond top secret"
status in his "other job." Knowledge he will never share makes him
even more interesting. I believe he has answers to many of my most
intriguing questions. "Gee, Rock," he will occasionally say, "I
don't know. Of course, if I did know, I couldn't tell you.
And, if I did tell you, I'd have to kill you." The slight smile on
his face tells me there's an underlying truth to his statements.
For certain types of movies, he could be an extraordinary technical
advisor --- without giving away any sensitive information. :-) |

Michael
Gavino |
As a boy in Maryland, Michael Gavino used to walk through
the woods dreaming of all sorts of fanciful stories. He would often
dream of being different characters in those stories. Little did he know
that dreaming would lead to a lifetime of acting. After leaving
Maryland, Michael attended Florida Atlantic University where he excelled
at academics and played for FAU's NCAA intercollegiate baseball team.
After earning his Bachelor and Master's of Arts from FAU, Michael
pursued his artistic dream. He continued his studies by attending The
New York Film Academy and studying under several prestigious private
teachers. He also started to act. As an actor, Michael has been in over
30 films and played the lead in 16. Among the films he has starred in
are: Detour to Hell, Reaping the Girl, The Devil and the Girl, Etiquette
of Dating, The Unknown Hero, Yes You Do, Upside Down Dan, Murder by the
Book, Night of the Escorts, I Wish I was a Fish, Vietnam Worm, Mary's
Secret, Tutorial 666, Urban Shootout, Caught Stealin’, and The
Encounter. Michael is happy for all he has achieved and has a simple
formula for success -- acting + hard work = happiness.
Michael is a successful
business man who has created several successful businesses. His
success is assured in the film and television industry as well, because
he is approaching the acting business as a business. He will also
be on the production side of the industry in the near future, producing
his own feature films ... |

Maya joins us on the calls
regularly. She is not an actress, but a writer. She let
us know that she has a completed and budgeted script about a former
heavyweight champion's rise. She ends her email with:

Own Little World, but it's Okay, They know me there"

Korby |
My name is Katie Korby and I am from Chicago, IL.
I have been a subscriber of your emails for about a year now. I have
attached my headshots and resume. Hopefully I could get some
wonderful feedback. I have just joined AFTRA because I have been
doing voiceovers/industrials lately. I am a member of Actor's Equity
Association. Last month I did the film, "The Return" with Tim
Robbins and Rachel McAdams - directed by Neil Burger. After working
with such talented people, I got SUCH a taste for film, even though
I am a "Theatre kid." I want to know how can I successfully have a
film career. Thank you.

Allan has been acting since the age of 5 (Santa Claus—the
only Jewish kid in class!) and ever since in NY and LA. Many years of

many training and documentary films, lead doctor in an episode of
"Untold Tales of the ER" (Dr. Lang in "The Gypsy King") and prominent

involved himself in the acting program at Cal State University Long
