Mos Definitely Audition
Actor Mos Def
Yesterday, I went to an audition for a small part in the movie Stringbean and Marcus. The screenplay had the fiber to win a Pew Fellowship at the Sundance Lab. The full length movie is slated to start filming this July staring Mos Def(16 Blocks, Next Day Air) and Sophie Okonedo, who got an Oscar nomination for her role as Tatiana in Hotel Rwanda). Each actor has more than 35 film credits.
Set in 1978, Stringbean and Marcus is a drama about the severed love affair between two Black Panther members as the story is told through the eyes of a adolescent girl.
My videotaped audition for a police officer went well. Although there is little loyalty in the acting business, the casting agency pulled me aside and double-checked my availability. Since I came to the audition fully dressed in a police uniform, I replied that I am ready to shoot now. Ah, it always feels good to leave them laughing, Mos Definitely.

Joe, you definitely have a speaking part. Lots of luck!
BTW...Didn't I give you a good news date by June 15...you told me it was a Monday.
anonymous,
there is nothing definite about this.
You have my word on this... something good comes your way by the 15th. Whether it be this or something else...it will be to your liking.
Diane and I just inherited new salt and pepper shakers. Could this be it?
good luck
