It has been my experience that when your head is just above water, something unexpected shows up to push you back under.

BRAND NEW DAY…🤔 I don’t think I’ve seen a Marvel film with this particular flavor. Has some room to breathe, which is appreciated, even as I wanted it to hurry up and wrap once the momentum was really cooking. That’s all I’ll say for now.
The coolest thing you'll see today is this pack of Halloween erasers from the mid '80s. Meant to be given out to trick-or-treaters instead of candy, they featured everyone from Boo Berry to the Kool-Aid Man!
You’ve been so busy eating Go-gurt, you never even considered what life might be like with Stop-gurt.
Zaida asked me who’d I’d cast as Black Cat. Sophie Thatcher. Then asked me who’d I’d cast I’d cast as Emma Frost. Maika Monroe.
There are two wolves inside you. Going to write you a prescription for more wolves. You’re got a wolf deficiency and that might be the reason for the headaches.

Did not book this but it’s kind of funny because I graduated up from a crowd to a principal in this callback, then was on hold for that principal role. Today I found out I wasn’t hired as principal, but they’d filled the crowd. So…I acted myself out of a role anywhere. 😝 (I’ll count it as a win.)

I bought this three times as a teen because I wasn’t allowed to listen to secular music and my mom kept finding it and throwing it away.

All right, Fan Expo. 👏 There's only so many times you can reunite the Hobbits.
When I was on TikTok there was this guy who’d do the Joker monologue from THE DARK KNIGHT nearly every single day and I often wonder if he’s still doing that.
Assuming Thanos and Loki occupy the #1 and #2 spots as MCU villains (it’s a dead heat), who’s #3?
CARRIE is not funny but BUT that part where the kid on the bicycle goes “creepy Carrie creepy Carrie whoAAAOAAAhhhoohh” is very funny.
My burning red hot take from 1987 is that SPACEBALLS is cute but not funny.
aw, yes, all my favorite Matchbox characters are back - car, truck, car, car, and van!
Sending someone out to do press for a film and they’ve been instructed to not talk about who they’re playing is manufactured virality.
“Before there was Scrooge, there was Ebenezer” is a vague, nonsensical tagline. Both names are synonymous with misers. 🤷♂️
If Hamlet had been able to do a power bomb it wouldn’t have gone down like that
It’s regular local acting work (medical stuff), not a movie or series. But it will give me security between bookings and flexibility when I *do* book. So…book me. 😬
Chance Shirley@crewless.bsky.social · 2w agoWell that’s awesome, and I can’t wait to hear what the gig is!
I spent 2025 in a trust fall with life, barely made any new money, but burned through my 401K to stay head-above-water. With the news I received today, I am now for-really-real, a really-real working actor. Acting is the thing that pays the bills now.

RIP to director Chuck Russell, who you probably know most as the director of the Mask, but whose masterpiece film that you should absolutely go back and watch is his 1988 remake of The Blob. Seriously, it's a near perfect movie.
