    Soap Studs

    In the course of my Soap Opera Intensive class (I'm not ashamed), I came to the realization that all permanent, contract player roles come with a breakdown akin to:
     
    Bril.  Twenty-something male.  Handsome, charming, and brilliant.  He's the type of guy who was starting quarterback for the high school varsity football team and captain of the academic decathlon squad.  He was voted most likely to bang a Gore daughter.  But, behind his Clark Kent glasses and Gucci boxers, Bril harbors a deep and devastatingly dark secret: he's f*cking PSYCHO.

    Trevor: You know, I once said that I would never do a soap.  Then I found out that the contract players make at least a quarter mil every year and work less than 40 hours a week.  Sign.  Me.  Up.

    As for Passions: that sucks.  I know the feeling of having to pass on a good thing.  But as you said: next time ...

    You want to work on a SOAP? What the...? You want the possibility of having a regular opportunity to perform, a somewhat regular schedule and good pay? What's the matter with you? Isn't that against our union rules or something?
     
    Seriously though, I'd love to get on a Soap and am going to take a class in it as well -- it's certainly a certain style. I just had to pass on a small role on Passions because of a scheduling conflict. Dang!
     
    Ah well, on to the next...
