Adam Langley: In the Can

Audition

2006-03-13T22:39:00.000-08:00

So I haven't auditioned for anything in about 8 months...remember... on hiatus.

So this national SAG commercial comes up, and I'm asked to audition for it.

I was already off of work that day to go out of town, and the audition was on my way out of town. I had no excuse to refuse.

So I audition.

I got a callback.

What the heck? I got a callback on my first audition in about 8 months! I don't remember what to do at a callback! Hmm.... oh well. Cool.

What's up?

2005-11-21T19:26:00.000-08:00

So... yeah, I've been a little inactive here...lol. There is a little bit of news... Nightlife is FINALLY done shooting!!! It looks like the guys at Damfino are doing a great job editing it so far. It was a lot of fun.

I also helped Jeffrey Travis (Dos Gringos Productions) with an industrial film he was working on teaching people how to interview for jobs. I was the bad example (haha!). It was a blast, and from learning what NOT to do, I ended up getting a temp job at Dell!

I'll been taking a bit of a hiatus from acting for a while. I've sort of lost my passion for acting and really the film industry in general this year. I'm not exactly sure why, but I just have no ambition for acting right now. It's strange. Instead, passions for some other things are beginning to develop. I'm still trying to figure everything out, and I'd appreciate your prayers as I sort through all of this. Knowing me, I'll probably be back to acting before you know it. We'll see. Until then, (if there is anyone even reading this) please do keep in touch and e-mail me. Cheers!

Gateway Productions

2005-04-06T20:47:00.000-07:00

Today I helped Storme Woode, media director at Gateway Community Church, produce a short film that will be screened at Gateway this weekend in front of over 2000 people (service times: Sat 6pm; Sun 9:45am, 11:11am; 12:30pm). Storme recently won "Best Director", "Audience Favorite" and "Best use of Phrase" in the 2004 48 hr Film Festival for his short film "The Emissary". My friends Adam Creighton and Elizabeth Wheat helped us on the acting end of things and did a great job with it. The short is going along with the "Sex in the City" series that Gateway is talking about over the next few weeks.

We will be doing more shorts like this in the future. If you are an actor or crew that would like to work on one of these projects, e-mail me with your resume and headshot (if actor), and I'll pass your info along.

"Out Whataburgered" Wins ADDY Award

2005-02-08T11:33:00.000-08:00

I just received word that my "Out Whataburgered" commercial won an ADDY award last Friday! Go Whataburger!!!!

PPD Commercial

2004-12-10T16:16:00.000-08:00

A little delayed notice here, but I booked a principal role in another commercial! This time it is for PPD (Pharmaceutical Product Development). They do research on experimental medications and such. It will be playing locally, but there is the possibility of it showing nationally depending upon whether or not they decide to use it in the other PPD markets.

It was a pretty challenging shoot just because I had to open the medicine cabinet and then shut it in 6 seconds EXACTLY, without anyone counting for me or anything. But the people working on it were very nice.

Hopefully looking forward to a work-filled 2005!!!

Happy Holidays!

PS - Please pray for Asia. How strange that on virtually the same day we accumulate so much, everything was taken away from millions on the other side of the world. Pray that we don't simply pray or feel sorry for them, but that we would be willing to make sacrifices ourselves if that is what we need to do.

SAG

2004-12-02T08:33:00.000-08:00

I'M SAG ELIGIBLE

Just got word from my agent that I have been cast for a Ford Industrial film. What is awesome is that I didn’t even have to audition for it! They just cast me straight from my agent’s website. It is a SAG (Screen Actor’s Guild) project, which means that after this I will be eligible for the Screen Actor’s Guild. An actor basically has to be in SAG when they are trying to work in L.A., but in Texas it isn’t as necessary as it is a right to work state. Anyways, this is very cool! Merry Christmas Adam! Thanks God!

"Out Whataburgered" Featured on Agency Websites

2004-11-30T23:56:00.000-08:00

Many thanks to Angelica (RTF student at University of Texas that I helped with a project) for pointing out that the Whataburger commercial is on the web and being featured at a couple advertising websites:

agencypreview.com and Adforum.com

You can also watch the video in the "Clips" page on my website:

Cool!

Ford Industrial

2004-11-30T05:22:00.000-08:00

Hey guys!

I have booked a Ford Industrial that will be shooting Dec 4th and 5th just outside of Austin! I know a lot of people in the cast (they booked everyone exclusively from Ciao! Talents' website!). I didn't even have to audition or anything! I'll take those anyday! Only thing is it's conflicting a little with the schedule for Nightlife, the feature mockumentary I'm working on. But those guys are willing to work with me on it, so that's really cool. Anyway, wish me luck!

Adam the Twinkie Wrangler

2004-11-11T08:34:00.000-08:00

Monday night, I got to be a grip/"twinkie wrangler" on the crew of a short film/pilot put together for The WB network by the guys of the "Mr. Sinus Theater 2000" at the Alamo drafthouse. It was directed by my friend Jeffrey Travis who has been very successful in the indie short film scene, and is working right now on a feature length adaptation of Owen Egerton's spectacular book Marshall Hollenzer is Driving. I got to be a "grip", basically helping to move stuff and set stuff up as needed. But much more importantly, I was in charge of making sure that the evil twinkies got where they needed to be.

Once you have wrangled twinkies, you can never go back. Never.

Never.

Chevy

2004-11-09T13:03:00.000-08:00

I just got word from my agent that I have been put "on hold" to be an extra in a Chevy commercial, so it's not a sure thing...but it's likely to happen. The chances are pretty good of getting "upgraded" to a bigger part in stuff like this, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Either way, the extras are getting paid more than they usually do here in Texas, so that's cool! It stinks going from "principal" to "extra", but hey, I'm not too proud!

"In the Can"

2004-11-05T01:57:00.000-08:00

Just so you know... "In the Can" is a term used in the film industry that indicates a film has been completed, as in "It's in the can!"

It doesn't have anything to do with...well...the "can" we refer to people being "on".

Just thought I'd clarify... lol
