Submissions

When you go into a casting office, there is usually a little box by the front door. It's for submissions via messenger, or an actor with an extra dose of hustle. I've always wondered who self-submits. Maybe people without representation, or maybe people who think they're reps aren't doing enough. All I know is to go to a casting office, without an appointment, just to leave your pic & resume is either incredibly badass and inspirational....or a little crazy. I'm on the fence.

Today, when I was signing in for my audition, I glanced over and saw in the aforementioned box, a headshot and a big note on the top. It read:

Dear Casting:

We first met when I auditioned for the film, "Due Date" in December last year. I am submitting myself for the role of CREEPY MALE NEIGHBOR in the film "Going the Distance." I played a lascivious security guard in the show LAX. Thank you for your consideration.

Ummmmm.....

I would love your thoughts on this. I am kind of at a loss for words.
