A fabulous fellow named Iain Alexander interviewed me about my career as a reality TV casting director for his equally fabulous website, Film Industry Network.
It’s a great resource for any and all who want to get into the film and TV biz, or are already actively pursuing their dreams in the entertainment industry. I highly recommend you check them out and join! When it comes to getting ahead in Hollywood, it’s all about who ya know.
Networking is king, and this site is Lancelot.
Here’s an excerpt from the interview:
Iain: What does it take for an actor to get ahead of the competition? Any tips?
Sarah: Have your story down. I call it your “personal sizzle reel.” Be able to pitch yourself as the perfect person for the project in 60 seconds or less. Tell a compelling story that will make me intrigued by who you are and leave me wanting to know more. Sometimes a Casting Director won’t even ask you any questions. They might just say: “Tell me about yourself.” You must have a compelling story and sell us on wanting to keep you around.

Thanks Iain!
I was thinking about my favorite gang of naked road trippers from The Buried Life (Johnnie, Dave, Duncan and Ben), and wondered – what happened to that show? It was SO good? Why didn’t they make more seasons?!
I am in luuuurv with The Buried Life.
Those boys, and to me, sadly, they are boys, are so freakin’ cute with those hot bods and dorky Canadian accents. I want to bake them a cake and read them stories, but still lust after them like a pervy old lady.
Here’s a TOP FIVE list of my favorite mostly naked Buried Life moments:
