10/23/2005: "My First Blog. By David Hanson"

First, let me just say that this blog and the blogs to follow will most likely be not very interesting. I will try to make them funny but this whole "have one of the actors blog for a week" idea probably would have been more interesting during the film making rather than during the post-post production when the actor is doing nothing for the project at all. But I shall do my best to make this entertaining.
So, that said, I have my coffee brewed, my hangover clearing, and my fingers ready to type. Let the magic flow. Acting in the movie "Gamers" was a wonderful experience (for reasons please refer to my "Ten Questions With Dave Hanson"), and I am really hoping it does well in the festivals. I say that because I am really excited with the finished product and because I have nothing else to live for. This film is my only hope Folino. It better pay off or its your ass!

It's uninteresting to go through this post production process as an actor because you have nothing further to do with the project. It is completely out of my hands. All I can do is hop on board another production and wait to see if this one does anything good (which I think it will).

Has my life changed at all from working on "Gamers"? Aside from the emotional scars, no. The day after we wrapped I went back to my day/night job (which is as a doorman at the Hollywood Improv). There I was standing outside, trying to talk to pretty girls while getting cock blocked by other comics and being told to load boxes of booze into my boss' luxery SUV which was parked next to my sad Geo Hatchback. All the while I was day dreaming about the very day before when I was surrounded by a camera crew, a make up lady powdering my face and I, Dave Hanson, was about to do a bedroom scene with Kelly LeBrock. I was an actor damn it!
Cut to:
24 hours later, outside the improv: Dave Hanson day dreaming at the door when his Boss walks up to him.
"Wake-up Dick!"
"Uh, um... God made a brand new day?"
