Ever have a bunch of things going on that make you so busy that when they are done, you feel like saying ‘what now?’.  I just completed my work as Derek Spencer in Casting For Murder.  It was fun.  The adjudicator said things like ‘one to watch’ and ‘loveable’.  Can’t go wrong with that.  Then I found out that next season, the group is doing A Streetcar Named Desire.  The first thing that comes to mind is the iconic moment – an near cliche – of Marlon Brando shouting ‘STELLAAA!’.  Then I think of Brando and how engaging an actor he could be.  Could I play this part?  I’m only 40-50 pounds overweight for it!  But could I?  With 9 months to figure that out, it becomes an incentive to reshape.  Many great actors – Bale, Hanks, Leto – have adjusted their physique for a role.  Could I be disciplined enough for that?  What if I didn’t get the role anyways?  Well, then I guess I’d have to live with my progress.  So here we go.  Back to the gym, diets, no coffee…  Yes, I’ve been drinking coffee for the last 4 weeks.  After being off it for 18 months.  I can’t wait to get off of it again
