Okay, so it’s long overdue isn’t it? A little update of what I’ve been working on these past few months. A little one though. I’m very superstitious so I try to steer clear of jinxes as much as possible.

So some of you probably know by now that I’m working on a writing project for Warner. If you don’t know… I’m working on a writing project for Warner. More specifically, the digital arm of Warner Brothers, Warner Premier, responsible for creating content for iTunes and other digital platforms.

What is the project? Well, that’s not altogether easy to explain, so I’ll just give you some of the facts. A lot of this stuff is already common knowledge… but a few bits are exclusive newbies. So here we go:

Okay well, not totally in German… rather my first interview that was translated from English to German. Although I do crack off an “ich” and a “über” here and there.

Last week I was interviewed by the German entertainment & pop culture site myFanbase.de. If you can speak fluent German, they seem like they’d be the one-stop shop for all your fanboy & girl needs. They cover it all. A very impressive site.

And who knows… someday down the line, if I practice, I may be able to deliver them a full interview in German. One that’ll have to be translated into English. Wouldn’t that be something?

Anyway, in the interview I talk about a few memories from working on Gilmore Girls, my obsession with Lost, and why you may have seen some umlauts in my tweets lately.

Here’s a small excerpt from the original English version:

The name of that role (Brian Fuller) always reminds me of writer and producer Bryan Fuller (“Heroes”, “Pushing Daisies“). Do you know if the writers of “Gilmore Girls” wanted to make a reference to him?

I’ve actually been asked that a few times by fans of the show. But I don’t know for sure. Here’s what I do know, and maybe your readers can put the pieces together. I’m pretty sure Brian’s first name was inspired by… MORE>>

Ha! Come on now, you know I’m all about the cliff hangers.

Und wenn ihr nur Deutsch könnt (or you just wanna read it in German cause you roll like that), hier ist das Interview auf Deutsch.

Der Name dieser Rolle (Brian Fuller) erinnert mich immer an den Drehbuchautoren und Produzenten Bryan Fuller (“Heroes”, “Pushing Daisies”). Weißt du, ob die Autoren der “Gilmore Girls” auf ihn anspielen wollten?

Ich bin das ehrlich gesagt schon einige Male von Fans der Serie gefragt worden. Aber ich bin mir nicht sicher. Hier das, was ich weiß und evtl. können eure Leser die Stücke zusammen fügen. Ich bin sehr sicher, dass Brians Vorname von… MEHR>>

One more time that’s THE FULL ENGLISH VERSION
Und DIE KOMPLETTE VERSION AUF DEUTSCH

Hope you enjoy. And be sure to tell them Cabrera sent you.

So I now know the episode air dates for both TV shows I recently worked on. Usually, I’d have separate posts for each, but since I booked the jobs and shot them both in the same week, they kind of feel like twins. They even have some twin-like similarities… without spoiling the plots of either, I’ll go down the list.

1. They’re both procedural dramas (ie crime mysteries).
2. They’re both on CBS.
3. I’m wearing my glasses in both.
4. I have facial stubble in both.
5. I’m answering questions in both.
6. And I had a blast working on both.

And there are a few other similarities… but plenty of differences… so you really should watch both.

• Numb3rs, “Animal Rites” – Airs on CBS, March 20th 2009. UPDATE: This info was wrong. Numb3rs is away for two weeks, and it’s scheduled to come back on April 3rd with a rebroadcast. Since “Animal Rites” is the next new episode, my guess is April 10th. If so, both shows will air the same week… which would make the similarity of everything all the stranger. Anyway, I’ll update this post when I know more. Sorry for the confusion.
  
• Without a Trace, “Hard Landing” – Airs on CBS, April 14th 2009.

“I bet that would be a fun career… pretending to be different people on Television and Film. I’d love to be an actor for a day.”

I think what a lot of people forget is that most of the WORK for an average working actor… isn’t actually acting… it’s auditioning; hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of job interviews in the span of a career. I’d say there’s no factor more responsible for actors quitting this profession than the soul crushing nature of the audition process.
