Random House: The Audience is Listening
By Shavar Ross on Oct 28, 2008 in My Acting Experience
Today was fun. Had my audition at Random House Audio today. It would be cool to narrate some books. I was thankful for the opportunity. They wanted me to pick out any passage from any book I liked so I went to the library early. The librarian was really helpful so I ended up picking [...]
The Audition: Que Sera Sera
By Shavar Ross on Oct 23, 2008 in My Acting Experience
The audition went well today. I’ll be vague for now and say that it was for an episodic role on a current television series, lol. I try not to “speak” on things until it manifests so I’m all mum for now. I have no idea when that “Chocolate News” episode I did will air. I [...]
Back In Cali
The day went pretty cool. Got to spend some time with my wife and daughter. Towards the very end of the day my agent called me at the last minute with an audition (call time). I was prepared but because I was out and about, I had to find a Kinkos in Santa Monica to [...]

David Alan Grier and I on the set of his new show Chocolate News. Premieres October 15th on Comedy Central.
At Hollywood Center Studios
I credit actor/comedian/executive producer David Alan Grier for jump starting my acting career again. I was put on tape for the role of a preacher for his new upcoming show “Chocolate News” on Comedy Central. He saw the tape and gave me the boost I needed to start running again.
Today was a great day on [...]
I Got the Part
So after 14 years of being out, I land my first acting role. My first audition back and I get the part. And what pray chance, do you ask will be the part I will be portraying? That of a preacher…

Culver City Studios: On the Lot
By Shavar Ross on Sep 29, 2008 in My Acting Experience
Today I had my general meeting with the top brass at Sony Television casting. The meeting went very well. I wish I could speak more about it but it was a blessing. Only God could open up a door like that and get me into a meeting after 14 years of being [...]
A Rolls Royce by Any Other Name
Yesterday was so beautiful. A gorgeous day. Made me realize one of the reasons why I love California so much. Drove through West Hollywood and then on to Beverly Hills to drop some headshots and resumes off to my new agent. I’m giving myself a year to really take my acting [...]

Signing with a Talent Management Agency
By Shavar Ross on Sep 01, 2008 in My Acting Experience
She’s actually a talent manager and an agent and I’m happy to announce that I will be signing a contract with her later on this week. It’s great to be acting again. I’m excited to see if I can pull off another job. It’s been years. It’s a challenge but I think it’s part of [...]
Manifest Destiny
By Shavar Ross on Aug 28, 2008 in My Acting Experience
Have you ever wondered about your destiny? What is was? When will it manifest?
Spent most of the day researching affiliate marketing sites and reading up on the latest Internet marketing gurus. I noticed a little jet lag now that I’m back in L.A. but my body is adapting fairly quickly.
I feel good [...]
Back in L.A.
The city is bustlin’ and I’m back. I arrived in L.A. (Burbank) a little before 12pm. Soon as I got off the plane I recognized the weather right away. Nice and warm. Perfect weather. The other thing I noticed was a sense of “rush” in the atmosphere. It was [...]
Trip Planning
So I’m booked for L.A. Will be flying out on Monday to be a part of the Friday the 13th (His Name is Jason) documentary produced by Masimedia.net. They’re a classy bunch and went out of their way to accommodate me. I’m looking forward to the interview. I’m amazed at how there [...]
Going Back to Cali?
If I do go back, it’ll be for a hot minute. Seems Paramount is re-releasing Friday the 13th in 2009 and it looks like Masimedia has a documentary in the works to commemorate the series. They may be flying me out to L.A. next week to do an interview.
