Resident Adviser training just started and I feel extremely blessed to be one of the 12 RAs in the "most happening" (do kids still use this phrase? or am I getting extremely old for 20?) residence hall: TROY HALL! However, I got a call today that I booked a role on a Spike TV show that I auditioned for way back when...YAY!- Wait...? I have training next Tuesday....Yup, so I had to decline....but I trust that everything always works out for those who put their faith and trust in God...so my friends, I will do just that.

Audition for "The Defenders" @ Felicia Fasano Casting in Studio City (CBS Radford Lot). This audition was relaxed and I didn't feel pressured....Of course, I had been up two nights previous researching the show and the characters. It surrounds two Las Vegas Public defenders who use not so "normalized" ways to defend their clients. Seems like a great cast with great characters.

I auditioned for the Co-Star role of a young guy, Jerome McKee, who is in need of someone who believes in him and his case.

Went great and Ms. Fasano is so nice!

Leaving it in my Father's hands : )

Wow- sure has been a minute since my last bloggin'! I actually just got back from Ghana and I'm feeling pretty funky FRESH! I had the most amazing time with family, friends, and value my culture and heritage so much more now that I am older. This is my 6th time having been to Ghana but it feels like my first! I had the opportunity to work on some short documentaries with my brother, David on the topic of skin bleaching as well as spirituality. Two things that the country of Ghana is very familiar with.

More pics coming soon- Anywho I am ready to get back on the audition wagon today! Audition #1- 48 hour film festival in Culver City. This was cool- had a little time to do some cold reading and met some cool filmmakers.

Audition #2- So this is how funny God can be: I am driving to my voice-over agent's to just let them know I am back in town and drop up off some gifts from Ghana. When I get in, I have a great conversation with my agent and BAM!--> He tells me to go in for an audition for AT&T. Gotta love God's work in my life!

In addition, I decided to stop by my theatrical agent's and do the same thing (let em' know that Funky Fresh Nathaniel Simons has just parted with the mother-boat and is ready to get down to audition busiNASSSSSSSSS!) And BAM: They tell me I have an audition for Friday evening for "The Defeneders" (a new legal dramedy with Jim Belucci, Jerry O'Connell, and Jurnee Smolett)

Audition #3- Disney Host @ M3 Casting off of Alameda- This went aiite...but I'm starting to feel I'm a little too tall/old compared to everyone else who is under 5'9" and is probably younger than 14... Maybe I'll just bend my back down a little? Who knows...
