latest recruit

The Ivy Casting Agency is pleased to announce our newest talent, Full Upper Body Tattoo Man. FUBTM is a virtual chameleon, adaptable to any role, as evidenced here:

In the market for a man with two "big guns" wielding two big guns and a grenade? How about a sexy, impassioned rescue worker/construction guy/crossing guard? Or a thoughtful pipe smoker. A crazed MD with a penchant for severed fingers. Or a...guy, um, holding a skull and rosary...a patriotic priest possibly performing an exorcism on an inanimate object, or...an angry archaeologist, or... one of the Hamlet gravediggers pondering Yorick's skull. Okay, we don't exactly know what he was going for in that last shot--but one cannot deny, this man can act. Many times with his eyebrows alone.

Look out, Academy, as FUBTM will soon be invading theaters near YOU.

I hired FUBTM for my niece's sixth birthday party, and the kids loved him. Angry archaeologist was an especial hit. Recommended!

A theater near ME seems to only show Jennifer Aniston movies.

Honest to goodness, this guy's headshot came in today. The one with the guns. What you probably can't make out in this blog picture is that the guy has his contact number printed on the grenade. His name is Pete Traina, and according to the photo, he's 'cocked, locked and ready to rock!'

OMG! that is too funny. m and i decided to put the pic up as a joke bcs she sent the headshot to me in the mail, from one of HER past jobs. and it says the same thing-cocked, locked, and ready to rock. i may have to frame it, just because. pretend it's a family photo or something.

um, yo. let me bring you full circle pen- sarah is the sarah at my old job who got me the 3wk gig and johann is the one that replaced me. i can't believe that guy keeps submitting... it's awesome.

penelope said...
