First Day On the Job


Deep, dreamless sleep. Ahhh. I never get this at home (car alarms, sirens, garbage trucks at 2AM....you know).

We did a read-through today, meeting the other actors for the first time. I don't know much about them yet, but let me introduce them to you anyway.


Neils Kurvin ("Bernie") and Sebastian Panneck (our director)


Jesse Inman ("Simon") and Neils


Manuel Cortez ("Bjorn" with a possible name change), Jesse and Manuel (AD)


Clayton Nemrow ("Tom"), Nilo (2nd AD) and Keith Blaser ("Brad")


Mareike Fell ("Frankie") and Manuel Cortez


Nilo, Keith and me ("Sarah")

So, that's all of us except one, who, for specific reasons, is being kept from the rest of us until we start filming (ooh, secrecy and intrigue...).

We may not know these actors in America, but they all have pretty good careers here in Europe. I will admit, it is almost intimidating. Instead, I choose to think that it's a sign I am going in the right direction.

Coming up in the next few days: My head will be cast for a mold (I'm told it's very itchy), and we get to train with the stunt coordinator (so people can die safely...hah!).

Stay tuned.
