Affinity Artists Agency negotiated HBO/VEEP Series Reg role of Jonah for TIMOTHY SIMONS.TIM kicks ass. http://ping.fm/Ce7NS

Affinity Artists Agency psyched we helped SUFE BRADSHAW snag series reg role-SUE in VEEP/HBO tonight. http://ping.fm/nvEKy

Affinity Artists Agency sharing pride in 2 Series Regulars on HBO's VEEP

Affinity Artists Agency agent Ross Grossman truly honored to have negotiated the contract for TIMOTHY SIMONS for his breakout series regular role in HBO's new comedy series VEEP. Tim plays a White House Liaison with strong desires and a strong ego and is so ready to duke it out with the other political heavyweights on the show. He's riveting on the show (but perhaps I'm biased, having assisted him in snagging the role). Here's a few great review of the show:  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1759761/news


Affinity Artists Agency congratulates SUFE BRADSHAW in her breakout series regular role on VEEP as SUE, the SECRETARY to the Vice President (Julia Louis-Dreyfus). We are so very excited for SUFE and her agent ERICH SMITH, and after seeing tonight's premiere episode on HBO, we are certain that there are more wonderful things to come for SUFE! You can see more of Sufe here at http://pro.imdb.com/name/nm2395944/   .

A deep bow of respect to the offices of Allison Jones Casting and to Allison, Ben and Peter for their impeccable good taste and deep appreciation for smart talent choices.

WHY THE SHOWS YOU LOVE GO OFF THE AIR & WHY THE SHOWS YOU HATE STAY ON.

WHY THE SHOWS YOU LOVE GO OFF THE AIR

WHY THE SHOWS YOU HATE STAY ON.

To figure out how shows are rated, and why that show you love went off the air and that show you hate stayed on, go to http://www.bloomsburyacademic.com/view/RatingTheAudience_9781849664622/chapter-ba-9781849664622-chapter-005.xml  . Its complicated but it shows that there's big gaps between different methodologies...

Creativity, Alternate Plans and Depression

CREATIVITY AND MAKING OTHER PLANS:

Michael Kostroff talks about the career of acting and the experience of Depression. Thank you Michael for helping actors to sometimes stop 'PUSHING on the PULL door' by at least looking at other options so they can free themselves from the 'trapped' feeling. http://www.backstage.com/bso/reviews-movie-tv-reviews/owning-the-downside-of-being-an-actor-1006817362.story . I raise a toast to all actors who pursue this sometimes bumpy path! (see my next post on subject of Actors & Depression)

CREATIVITY AND DEPRESSION:

I recently heard a fascinating review of a new book called IMAGINE: HOW CREATIVITY WORKS which explores the letting go/giving up/depression and how it is actually PART OF THE CYCLE OF CREATIVITY. Apparently Bob Dylan had quit the music business not long before he pumped out "Like a Rolling Stone." Check it at http://www.npr.org/2012/03/21/148607182/fostering-creativity-and-imagination-in-the-workplace
