That's right all you bubbly-eyed and bushy tailed kids out there (or whatever the expression is), BIG NEWS!!! My super secret webisode project (I don't want all my actor friends to find out - then they'll start mailing me headshots!) is officially UNDERWAY!
Alex and I had a meeting last night over a drink (or NINe!) and we decided on what our WEBISDOE would be about.... DRUM ROLL PELEASE!!!!
Us!
That's right. After kicking around some also awesome ideas - vampires, pirates, cowboys, SEX, drinking games... we decided that the most interesting, cool, attractive, talented, and FUNNY (I mean like "The Office" funny, not "Friends" funny) characters we can possibly think of is...US! So we're gonna turn the camera on ourselves and create the soon-to-be million hit sensation, webisode - CHASE AND ALEX'S AWESOME SHOW!
We decided to call it CHASE AND ALEX'S AWESOME SHOW around, oh, 3 AM! Not that there was any alcohol involved (there was!). Basically, the premise is us, trying to get laid, drinking shot after shot and beer after beer, getting HONEY after HONEY...and of course, auditioning and making films.
Ah, the life of an actor. And now a writer and TV SHOW CREATOR! I'm a show runner baby! I'd like to take this moment to point out that the election of President Obama has given me hope. I feel like I can take over DA FUCKKING WORLD! ANd I'd like to thank Mr. Obama for giving me that feeling. I might not know anything about politics, but I know that I GOTS TO GET MINE in this world and anyone who can help me do that is the SHIZZNIT.
In other news, I had an audition for a one-man show yesterday. It was really quick, WHICH I LIKE!, no need to waste time. I got in, got the sides, looked it over, thought about how I was gonna do it and waited (waiting is a big part of being an actor, for those a ya'll that don't know). After a while, I went into the room, met the director (I think he was gay - plus for me cause gay guys love me!!!) and started reading the script. I charmed the room a little, and then launched into the monologue in a voice that I made up in the hallway. I didn't get far into the monologue before he stopped me. "Okay. Chase, thank you very much. Brilliant." And then I walked out of the room - real fast.
HE ACTUALLY SAID BRILLIATN!!! Good sign, right? keep your fingers crossed, hopeful young actors out there in middle America.
Peace in da middle East!

Booked It!
That's right hopefuls out there in middle America, I went out for the job and BOOOOKED IT!
For those that don't know, "booking" something is actor's terminology for getting a job, a gig, a part in something. For instance, you say, "Yo, I booked that shiiiiiit!" if you got a part on something LIKE I DID...
So starting Monday I will be on television's GOSSIP GIRL. That's right, folks! Who knew this small town kid could be on such a big hit show???
It's background work, at a party in a hotel or something - but it's a gig muffa effa!!! And I'll be on set with Charlie and all the other hearthrobs of the CW. They're sure to throw me a line!!! How could they not?!?!?
SO congrats to me - booked a gig on GG. Just another day in the life of an actor.
To celebrate, I'm going out to LIT tonight in the East Village if anyone out there lives in New York and wants to make out with me! JK! No I'm not.

What a B*#ch!
Man...what up my peeeeeppps?!?!
First off, let me just say to all you hopefuls out there in small towns across America - don't burn any bridges!!! So, that said, in my big time, big city, actor/model BLOG, I will refrain from naming any names.
But what a BITCH this agent was that I had a meeting with tonight.
I did my thang, right, acting, chatting her up, ect. And this fat lady has the nerve to say that she wasn't feeling it! After I did my mono, she just had this look on her face, like, "What in the world was that?" FFFFFUUUUCCCKKKKK HHHHEEEEERRRR!
I was like, "So that's my thang."
She was like, "Hm. Do you have anything else?"
Now, at this point, I knew the meeting was blown. Agents are like sharks here in New York City, you get one chance to swim away, and if you don't - you get eaten! So I just told her I didn't have any more monos and then we chatted for a little while about my career.
The thing is - I STILL may have won her over, cause at the end of our meeting, she said, "Chase, let me know if you're in a show or anything I can come see - send a postcard."
BONG! Still, it's an opportunity. And that's why I'm not burning that BIRDGE BABAY!
I still think she's a bitch - but you know what? That's the kind of agent I want repping me anyway - one who's not afraid to talk to people like they owe her something! I just need her working for me!
There it is, peeps, the city is tough! The business is tough! It's constant rejection and heartache. But still I survive through it. Time to go over my friend Alex's house, have some blizzunts, and brainstorm ideas for the WEBISDOES! Once we hit, this bitch agent will be beggin Chase Summers to come back for meeting #2!!!
Chase - out!

What up my peeeeeeeeps!!!???
This is my journal of an actor's life in the big citttyyy babbby!! This is to give all you hopefuls out there in middle America the chance to witness what it's really like to be an actor/model in New York City - it's not always glamorous! Follow me on my adventures through auditioning, partying, the trials and tribulations of being a real live professional actor.
First off, today, I woke up laaaaaate as fuck! I was out drinking last night wit my boys (surprise). The good thing though - even though I feel like shit today and it's mid-afternoon, last night my boy Alex, who is a filmmaker, and I decided that we were going to stop waiting around for the MAN to give us the things we want in life. We are going to produce our very own WEBISODES!!!! Exciting, right?
We already got the head start and kicked around a few ideas. Vampires. Nuff said.
We'll probably start pre-production very soon. And then we shoot - then we throw it up, it gets a million hits - bong! (I know it's not that easy, I'm just thinking POSITIVELY!!!)
Okay - gotta get looking pretty - I have a meeting tonight with a BIG TIME agent. It's at 7:20 PM at a place called Actor's Connection, where people go to get agents. This is the life of an actor/model ya'll!!! Pay attention - you might just wanna choose another profession instead! (J/K).
- Chase - out!
