DAY 32 OF 365: A WHOLE LOT OF CRAZY!

So today started out like any other day in the office. However, it quickly took a turn for the worst. Now everyone knows that I am an extras casting director. So I deal with actors on a daily basis. Today I was informed that there was a Facebook page called “NYC’s list for Crooked Casting Directors” and that the creator of this site was sending out messages slandering my name and the name of the company that I work for. The creator and author of these lovely messages is called unemployedactor smith. So basically a coward sticking with an anonymous name. How poetic. What’s amazing is that this individual is saying that I accepted thousands of dollars at my 80s prom party that I threw for my 30th birthday. Interesting enough, the only people in attendance at my 30th were my family, friends, and co-workers. No extras we invited nor were in attendance. As far as accepting thousands of dollars at my 30th, well, the only money passed at that party was my credit card to the bartender when I paid for the bill. The only person who paid for that party was myself. I should know since I had to pay the fairly large credit card bill. Then this pathetic individual talks about taking bribes and that is how I was able to pay for my luxurious townhouse. Well, I can tell this idiot is not a reporter, because if he/she were he/she would have checked their facts. I have worked my entire life since the age of ten, and I saved and worked for every penny that paid for this “Luxurious” townhouse. Also a fact that this individual didn’t check; it’s a condo moron, not a townhouse. It saddens me that such stupidity and hatred exists in this world. Individuals like this are who give human beings and actors a bad name. What this actor does not realize is that I do not work for him/her. I work for the studio/production company that hires me. It is not my job to make sure that every actor in the tri-state area is working everyday. It is my job to make sure that the look of the project that I am casting is to the liking of not only the studio that hired me but also the director. I am not a temp agency nor am I an employment office. I am a casting director. I also don’t hide behind lies and an anonymous name as this actor. I stand in front of the truth. I hope that true actors will realize the hatred involved in such a Facebook page and put an end to it. What this individual failed to realize is that in this day and age with technology, IT guys can find out anything from an ip address. If caught, this individual could face court time and fines for slander. I am a true believer in karma. They will get theirs in the end.
On a more positive note, I had a healthy lunch and dinner. I felt that I had to add that in since I spent the entire time venting about a crazy actor. Well, here is hoping that Friday is less crazy and that Facebook takes down this page. Till tomorrow.
