Hello all!
So since I have move to LA, a LOT has happened in a year. To recap: I moved down to LA to pursue acting, (and I have been working at CBS in the meantime) while I pursue parts. I have found a wonderful church, Bel Air Pres, with many fun and talented people. I am currently in a great Bible Study which gives me a solid base in this crazy city of rushing around. On Tuesdays I go to my wonderful acting class to practice my craft, and while I learn great acting lessons and stretch my instrument, the people in the class itself are becoming like a second family to me. With all the work for both auditioning, going to acting workshops, and pursuing the money to make rent, I am a little tired most of the time but,... onward...ALWAYS ONWARD! :)
In the realm of acting results, I have been blessed enough to book one major commercial for a European company: (Orange), received all three of my SAG vouchers so now I am SAG Eligible, retained a commercial agent, and booked several student films. I also have had some fun doing some background work so I could be on shows such as "Samantha Who," and "Private Practice." Mostly just for bragging rights. In other fun but not important news, some famous people sightings that I have either seen or talked to:
Elijah Kelly - Seaweed from "Hairspray"
Taye Diggs,
Amy Brenneman,
Kate Walsh,
Chris Lowell - Private Practice
John Cusack - Gross Pointe Blank
Mark Harmon - NCIS "Jethro Gibbs"
Wanda - Heaven on Earth or stand up
Simon Cowell,
Paula Abdul,
Randy Jackson - American Idol
Lance Bass
& Jeff Foxforthy. (NO Dad, I did not get a chance to tell him about our family or my JF impressions.)
And I'm sure there are a few other sightings I've forgotten.
Some people that I was THIS CLOSE TO but didn't see because of bad timing:
John Krasinski (Yes sisters, it's true. ARG!)
Ewan McGreggor
Tom Hanks
Hugh Laurie
John Stamos
*Siiiigh* Oh well, another time...
I miss my family a lot, (Hi you guys!) and I am trying my hardest to move my acting career and my friendships here in LA forward.
Sending out my love to all in the form of HUGS and a special kiss to my new nephew Judah!
Love Emily
SO ME IN A NUTSHELL?
- Emily Marsh
- I came to act here in LA from the Bay Area, where I was the youngest of four sisters. I am blessed to have in my corner, a wonderful family that I miss constantly and a God, Jesus Christ who I know personally. I make friends and jokes where I can and try to keep active and involved in acting AND reality without going insane. (Hmm, sounds a bit like an oxymoron doesn't it?) I snatch time to do things like blog, hang out with my friends of all ages and read or write. When the mood strikes me, I may also jot off some poetry, but don't worry, nothing too long or confusing. I am a constant but happily striving work in progress.
