I think I may have made a bad critical choice when I was younger. I was so frustrated with trying to be an actor, or more plainly, not getting cast as an actor. That if I didn't have a crucial roll in the performance I wanted nothing to do with it. If I had to tend bar it sure as shit wasn't going to be in a comedy club or at a theatre (yeah I'm using the French spelling. I have a B.F.A).
But now I am looking back at all the people I missed out on meeting and the energy I missed out on being in. When I think back to all the idle chats about the weather or sports when I should have been submerged in some horribly pretentious artistic debate. I think Godot was really waiting for... Dammit.
But today I am turning over a new leaf. If you can't beat them - interview them. I have started to build a new website at www.tomcomedy.weebly.com. Where I will be covering the comedy scene in Atlantic City. My first interview was tonight with the very sweet and funny Ward Anderson. I hope you will check it out.
