David Chiu

I surprisingly received two calls from my agent today. On the first call my agent wanted to know if I’d be interested in doing a U5 (under 5 lines) or non-speaking role on General Hospital. Of course I said “Yes”! It’s been a long time since I’ve been on a set or done any acting professionally so I’m happy to take a small role. I joked with my agent asking if General Hospital was back in Hawaii - because it seems like every time the plotline goes to Hawaii I get a call and end up with a small role on the show. If I get this role this will be the 5th episode of GH I’ve appeared on.

The second call from my agent concerned a commercial print audition for Adidas - basically a modeling job. The shoot would be over 3 days and I would receive a $5k buyout for the shoot. Not bad. Then tonight I read the breakdown and noticed that for wardrobe it says “will also be shirtless”. Crap. I’m the skinniest I’ve ever been since high school yet I’m still not as ripped as I’d like to be. I still have bad memories of another audition for Bud Light where I had to be shirtless for the audition and I was 30lbs heavier (not in a good way). Well, it is what it is.

Along the same note I looked at the Xflowsion site to see if the new infomercial was there and it is! But I see they re-tooled the new version of the infomercial and I’m no longer in it. That’s ok with me - but I did find my filmed testimonial in the raves section - which proves to me that I’m still not as ripped as I’d like to be.

I’m going running in the morning.
