It's a shame I don't live on the West Coast -- Los Angeles to be precise. The 11th Star Trek film begins shooting later this month, and they're holding an open casting call for unique background talent this Saturday. I'd love to play a cadet at Star Fleet Academy... or possibly even a Vulcan! Oh, but for shame. If only I didn't live here in Milwaukee. ... [very sad face]
Acting in a Star Trek film has been on my Wish List for Life for... well, most of my life.
Aww, Crap. ... Crap, crap, crap.
