Steve Shaver
Got an email earlier from a casting director specifically requesting me to work on a very popular TV series for several days in the role of a prison guard. Either they're looking for a puny guard or my rather small physique didn't faze them. Not sure I'm going to accept the role. I seriously have to start working out even harder so I can feel more comfortable about playing a bad boy!! :-)
Thank you for accepting my connection request.
Think I may hit the beach today and let the rest of the world go by :-)
Not a bad idea, Steve...Recharge the batteries.
I LIVE at the beach. So where do I go to recharge?
Inland...
inland from me is nothing but swamp, alligators and brush fires. Guess I could go fight the brushfires and do some research for "Firestorm 2."
Hi Steve, Thanks for touching base. I used to live in Winter Park, Orlando, pracrticed law as a State Prosecutor in late 80s.I did a times share thriller book The Heat Merchants is on Amazon e book take a look, and maybe we can set up a film there.

So the question posed to me this evening by a well-connected Hollywood insider is do I want to shoot one or both of the films in China with a guaranteed distribution deal. What to do...
Any time you hear the word "guaranteed" in this business, you run, don't walk, in the direction of the deal.
Well, I feel there are a few steps in between: (1) before doing anything- float both offers, to see which is more beneficial in the long run. One picture vs. two means different expectations depending on the agreement. (2) make sure they will put any offer in writing. (3) Most important- make sure the contract actually stipulates what you agreed to before signing it. After you have calmly secured the deal to the best of you ability, and are back amongst friends, then you can drop the game face and run wherever you like- you earned it.
Never burn your bridges. You don't know how many times you'll need to cross the same river.
Well said...
When pursuing your dreams, remember that the journey will be difficult. Your spirit will be tested, and you will reach your breaking point. So never give yourself an exit, because in a moment of weakness, you'll take it.

LOL. There are tons of prison guards who are puny and very fat as well, trust me, I'm part of the "in" crowd on this one. LOL.
Attitude and confidence will give you all the height you need.
Well, there is always the rubber inflatible muscle suit......sorry I just had to :) To be honest the smaller guards are usually meaner and feared. (my grandfather was a sheriff)
