Bring Back Jerome to Lost! RSS

Help me bring back my character to the ABC series 'Lost'

I was originally cast as 'Jerome' but he was cut from the series this season (writer's strike, ugh!). I think the storyline could use another fleshed out character or two, don't you?

Help me get back on the show -- sign my petition!

Realized that you can't send me your comments through Tumblr (bummer), so I set up this email to reach me. I could use your support.

Let me tell you about a little man named Harriet

He’s a hero. He’s a friend. He’s a man among men. He’s insecure, he’s courageous, he’s just like you and me. He’s an insurance salesmen who moonlights as a superhero.  AND I SHALL BE PLAYING HIM IN THE PROUDEST PERFORMANCE OF MY LIFE TO DATE. At least I hope it shall be.  I am already working on developing the character, even though I  have at least three weeks before we start to shoot. Harriet the insurance superhero, from the bay area. I’ve been testing on the baristas.

The story is set in San Francisco, but Harriet is from Montana (I came up with that) so I’m really trying to find the right voice for him - a nice balance between western southern midwestern hick city slicker plantation droll.  It’s all of those I think. The final product really is close to my own voice, but that’s good because you don’t want to overplay these things. For example, when I say “bike,”  it’s like: “baaaiiieek” if you draw it out.  Leonard would say it more like “baaaaiiiek.”  Hear the reduced eee there?  Yeah you don’t pay the big acting training bucks for nothing.

So yeah been doing my vocal exercises and character exercises here in the coffee hangout I like to call un-corporate Starbucks.  I call them that cause they’re really nice. Really just no corporate feeling about this particular Starbucks location, some kind of ambience or something. Plus one of my favorite baristas told me she gets benefits and everything. To be honest, the idea of applying is starting to sound really appealing.

I mean, it would sound more appealing if I didn’t have a really strong feeling about the this role. The director has worked on upwards of three independent short films already, and he’s bringing in a professional special effects makeup artist to help with the CGI and stuff.  SO yeah. It just sounds SUPER profesh. We’re talking SUPERHERO profesh. Get it - superhero movie, superhero profesh???  Nevermind.  Anyway, yeah I’m just really excited. Throwing a little shindig tonight to celebrate my success.  Feel free to hit me up if you wanna stop by.  bringbackjerometolost@gmail.com.  I got a iphone so I’ll get it anytime, anywhere. Thank you, Steve Job ;)

GOD BLESS YOU HARRIET!

Shoving it down your throats til you cry uncle,
