2 New TV Series Auditions For Conan

2 new auditions for ongoing TV series this week?

Well not really. One TV series contacted me directly and asked if I was available but unfortunately being on the opposite side of the world and working (for a really nice change) prevented me working on that TV series just now, maybe something will eventuate later.

The other TV series I made contact with quiet a while ago after an actor friend gave me a heads up about some castings they were holding last year.....

Dysentery And A BIG Audition

Conan Stevens To Appear In ?

During my break between filming episodes of HBO's upcoming "A Game of Thrones " I have been hard at 'work' searching the internet, looking for openings and new possibilities. I have found some... and some have found me....

Brief Update Sept 2010

I auditioned for roles in two movies over a week ago, I am now awaiting a response. I am fairly confident that I will get roles in both movies, the question is whether it will be the roles I am interested in.

I have been contacted by a Director in Australia and might be up for a slasher film later this year.

I have been contacted by a Producer in Hong Kong and might be in a fight film early next year.

It looks highly likely that I will be on the front cover of a well known International brand magazine soon.

It seems the second part to hugely successful "The Hangover" might be filming in Thailand , that'd be a great movie to get into.

Another Movie Audition

My manager has contacted me with another possible role filming in Thailand soon. At this point I cannot say anymore than this but it would be good for my acting scope to appear in this movie (ie I won't be chopping heads off or smashing people into the ground for a change).

At this point in time we'll just hav e to wait and see if it comes off.

If I can land a role in this and Scorpion King 3 I will be most happy.

 * It was Hangover 2 and they brought someone in from the US instead.

Scorpion King 3 To Film In Thailand

Another Auditionless TVC For Conan

Just recieved a call last night along the lines of "Hi Conan, I am in a bit of a rush right now but are you free to do a TV commercial next week for $x?"

To which I replied... 

A Song Of Ice And Fire Green Lighted

The HBO TV series pilot that was auditioned for and filmed recently has passed approval amongst the heads of programming at HBO.

The series has the green light so you can expect a medieval slaughterfest in the best traditions of the book series anytime soon(ish).

So why is Conan excited about this....

Conan Recieves A New Script To Read Through

Wake Up Call - Conan Style

Last night I was uncharacteristically up until late so this morning I slept in a little...

Until my phone rang and fully awoke me

"Hi Conan, it's xxxx, we have a main character part in a new movie we are making with yyyyy (whom I also know well), are you free for about 5 days shooting in the next few weeks?" 

Audition For New French Movie

This week I was contacted by a local Agent who is providing people for Auditions for a new French movie to be partly filmed in Thailand, partly filmed in Europe.

Having seen a few pages of the script (for character background and setting) I can see the character, a mercenary, is not a big part, but he does get some lines (Essential. No lines means you are a featured extra, getting lines means you are credited as an actor) and will be in a noticable part in the movie.

So will I take this lesser role than I am currently looking at in my Auditions, would it be a step backward for me to take this lesser role? Yes it would.... will I go to the audition and meet the director?

Yes... and here is why... 

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... 

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...

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... 

What Has Conan Been Doing?

Lets see, relationship issues, a new eBook, 2 new movie scripts being written out into something usable, and most importanlty sellable. A few TVC castings and one performance....

Training hardcore, meeting IFBB Professional Bodybuilder Con Demetrious, searching for a new training partner, making new friends in my new home town - did I mention that I moved out of Bangkok to a seaside area with good gyms, clean air, less noise pollution, cheaper food and accommodation and a large foreigner population, meaning more idiots to avoid and more decent people to meet......
