More casting
for Benidorm this afternoon at Tiger Aspect's Soho offices.
Really wish I could write more about the auditions but
I can't mention people's names so it all seems a bit
pointless. We did have one actor today though who was
genuinely off his head; the high pitched giggles, nervous
twitches, rolling of eyes and flailing of arms (and
this was just chatting about the show) all made me feel
my life was slightly in danger. He was a genuinely nice
bloke and not a bad actor but as my old grandmother
used to say about such people, "he was off his
cocking nut". I guess he would give the type of
performance you'd see in a tv show or a play and you'd
say, "this can't be acting, that guy must really
be like that", and indeed he was. Obviously I can't
say who the actor is or if he got the job (take a wild
guess on that one) but if you take the first letter
from the beginning of each line of yesterday's blog
you'll have an anagram of his surname. Not really….
Who do you think I am? Lewis fucking Carroll?
