This character journey and transformation has been really fun. I had an opportunity to put it to the test last week during a commercial audition for a recent AFI graduate. The spec spot required a “Cowboy,” so I went into the reading as close to my character of Wes as I possible could at this time. After getting to play with the copy and work with the creative team in a relaxed setting, I walked out of Raleigh Studios convinced that if I didn’t book this gig as one of the cowboys, there’s no justice in this world. I guess my character worked because two days later I was invited to play one of the parts. We shoot this coming weekend at a ranch outside of Santa Barbara. The best part about this entire opportunity is that I’ll get to explore physical aspects of Wes that I’ll undoubtedly build from before arriving in Texas to shoot Cowboy Smoke.
