So You Want To Be A Movie Star?
Sat May 08 2004

#1 & #2 had their “I want to be a movie star” gig today. They both enjoyed it enormously. They had to do a screen test in front of a camera, and were given lines from a commercial to deliver to the camera. #1 pulled a hemorrhoid cream commercial to deliver, and #2 got a Metamucil bit. Let me tell you, watching two 14 year olds deliver those sales pitches was something to behold.

This is the first time either of the boys has done something like this. I seriously doubt anything will come of it, but they had a blast doing it.

The one bit of information I was delighted to hear, was this agency requires their talent to maintain a 3.0 GPA. If something does come of this, both boys have sworn to get serious about school and bring their grades up. That alone is causing me to keep my fingers, eyes and toes crossed in the hopes that they do get a call back.

Notice I’m not holding my breath.

It’s not that I don’t think the boys are capable of doing something like this. There is no doubt in my mind that if they chose to, they would find success with it. This was their first taste of the industry though. It has whetted their appetite, and hopefully they will strive to achieve what it takes to get there. Their first mountain to turn into a mole hill is their grades.

Hubby and I have been telling them all along that if they applied themselves, they would conquer their grade glitch. When they do remember to turn in their work, they get A’s and B’s. It’s just getting them to remember (or want) to turn it in. Maybe this will be the incentive they require for doing that.

    Those two are little hams. This should be right up there alley. As long as they can take serious direction.

    P.L. has a point. If they land this spot, I can't wait to hear what happens the moment someone tells them they're doing it wrong and what they're supposed to do instead!
