Trust that still, small voice that says, "This might work and I'll try it." - Diane MariechildWe've talked about my friend Kevin before. He has been working toward a very specific goal for nearly all the time that I've known him: To play Sugar Ray Leonard when the the movie about his life is made. There has been some sort of biopic in the works for years now but since Sugar's biography has hit the shelves this summer, there is a renewed sense of urgency in getting this picture made. Kevin has been disciplined with his training - both his boxing and his acting - and he has been quietly building connections along the way. There have been rumblings lately that could potentially lead to meetings and while nothing has happened *yet*, there seems to be a momentum building. Send many good thoughts as the stars are aligning...
As for me, I am trusting my small voice and getting back to work on my screenplay. I've had all good intentions of sitting down and writing this week but there has always been some sort of roadblock thrown up (funny how that sounds like "throwing up") every time I've gone to sit down. I'm doing all that I can as an actor to be seen and get out there but sometimes it feels like you've got to make your own work to get to where you're going. So I write. I write to make my dream come true.
