In 2009, I decided to try movies and television. I registered as a background actor at Central Casting in LA.
Over the next week, they got me seven auditions which resulted in six jobs, Cold Case (CBS), Hawthorne (TNT), Heroes (NBC), Miracle on the Hudson (Nippon TV), Sons of Anarchy (FX), and two days on The Office (NBC).
On my own. I managed to get Raising the Bar (TNT) and Solved (ID).
I auditioned for student films, Internet webisodes, pilots, commercials as well as TV and film projects.
I found them myself, maintained my schedule, and followed through.
I spent 2009 and 2010 in L.A. as a background actor and, as it turned out, I ended up starring in ten student films, backgrounding in ten TV episodes and playing bit parts in four feature films, including a featured role as "the whistling 1940's ghost dad" in Insidious (2011).
