New Movie Approaches Me And Another Bollywood Opportunity

This week my Agent was emailed - a BIG movie studio is filming a movie and they would like to consider me for a role.

Seeing the working title I  can see why they want to look at me for a part....

Oh yeah, and there might be a new movie role in a Hindi movie too... 

Conan Appears In New True Legend Teaser

Just wrote a whole article on the new teaser and my F'ing Internet dropped as I saved it. Look inside for some pics and a summary, Iam rather pissed off as I wrote quite a bit...

Should An Actor Have His Own Website

Recently on an Actors forum I replied to a post asking if an actor should have a personal website. Another qualified poster said it was more than important it is essential these days and talked about the old days when you would get out the Telephone book and look someone's number up.

He then went on to say when was the last time you looked up a business in the Telephone book? Years and years if I can remember rightly, probably over 10 years for me. These days I type in the business namke into Google and get the details from the web, or if that fails I use the Yellow Pages online.

You as an actor are a business, selling yourself, so yes you need to get online and findable.... 

New TV Series Audition *Updated

I am unable to write any details at this stage but my Acting Agent in Australia, has managed to secure an audition for the pilot of an upcoming American TV series, in a role that could be very suitable for me.

With a number of opportunities arising at present, it is only a matter of time before I sign up with one.

The best thing about all this for me is that the quality of the productions and the quality of the roles is better than any I have previously done. It looks like my plan to serve my movie apprenticeship in Asia was in fact a good choice and my plan did work. Great. My plan to be found via Search Engines and approached for auditions because of this, my actors website, is also working very well. Now I can launch into the US movie market at a 'reasonable' and financially interesting level.

So I grabbed a mates camera, grabbed my mate who has no acting or 'reading' experience and we filmed the audition...

Conan Stevens Showreel Aug 2009

New Opportunity = New showreel.

Just about everytime a new chance for a movie part that is big comes along, out I come with a new showreel... if I can... So that means I have been asked if I would like to be in a new BIG movie that everyone will know??? Can't say just yet but had an interesting social meeting the other night....

Since Bangkok Adrenaline is now out all across Thailand I can get some footage, unfortunately it has all been dubbed into Thai.... except for 2 deleted scenes that were added to the DVD edition as extra features!

Yay! Footage of me speaking English! Not dubbed into Thai, Hindi, or Mandarin as usual. 

 Bangkok Adrenaline In Stores (Powerkids is the DVD above)

Funnily enough the Powerkids DVD was on sale just above the Bangkok Adrenaline DVD. Too bad the Powerkids footage is useless at this point in my career....

Big Bang Movie?

Is Conan's movie career about to emulate the Big Bang? i.e. before there was nothing and after the Big Bang there was a whole universe (of opportunity).

Well not really nothing before hand, but for American audiences Conan is still an unknown. Which unfortunately translates to Australian audiences (and more pointedly industry professionals) equating Conan with a Zero, Indian and Asian films don't count apparently in Australia, such small minds... but that is a different article altogether, so lets get back on track...

Will Conan's career go supernova very soon shooting him in a bright light upon the American movie scene?

I have been contacted to work in a role that I believe I am suitable for, in a US movie, filming in the US, through my Australian Agent with a very well known film star. Now I have to complete the audition successfully as the next step and with any luck (luck = prior work and commitment) I'll soon be known to many millions more, and most importantly start working in movies that pay well.

That's all I can write for now. I will let you know any further developments when I am allowed to write about it.

New Agent #2 And Conan On TV?

Last night I went to dinner with an Acting Agent, an International TV presenter, a multiple award winning Director and a film investor. Normally  Idon't go out on Friday or Saturday nightsbut I guess you can see why I made an exception last night....

Japanese Movie Casting

So after discussing how to be a good acting agent and how to present me, my agent called up - he had secured a one on one interview with the Japanese movie Producer/Director. Perfect, exactly what we wanted.

I get to go in and meet face to stomach (when we are standing, remembering the height difference) the person directly responsible for deciding who is going to be in the movie.

Saying your 7 feet tall on paper just doesn't have the impact of a personal meeting, and this meeting was no different and very standard... well, standard in that regard...
