WHERE ARE THEY TODAY??


This is a "where are you today post" as I am just curious ,(as I am sure others who worked on this project are)to see where my friends and acquaintances who worked on the project are these days.
I have gotten some emails from a few of this cast who`s careers are doing very well and some who have taken work in other professions.
ALL THAT I NEED , for me ,was a great time and a fabulous opportunity to work on a very unique project with some very talented and fun people. Being in a film that had "Theatrical Release" was also very special.
Today I am living in Toronto and recently was seen on CBC`s "The Hour" with George Stroumboulopoulis doing my Sean Connery impersonation. I have also just completed a lead roll in a film call "The Leaf" where I play an old broken down drunken artist that never quite made it and lives in the furnace room.
The roll was a cakewalk for me cause i just had to be myself as I "AM" an old broken down drunken artist that never quite made it .(yet anyway)
When I am not working at film I earn a living as a Construction Safety Officer. It pays the bills. One thing I learnt when looking for a construction job is "don't tell anyone that you are an actor as well , cause they don't want to hire actors cause they are afraid that if you hit a "big one" you will leave them flat. And of course we all know that is true too.LOL
I have recently acquired credits making me eligible to join actra and I hope to be a new member in 08. I want to become an ACTRA member to work in film of course but also to become active in the UNION as well. I have 35 years as a union supported and hope to be very active in ACTRA CANADA.Wish me luck.
I am also beginning some courses in the new year in script writing. I have a creative side and want to share some of me life`s experiences. I have recently completed my autobiography which has some interesting stories that I want to extract and put into a script as well.
I am still working with Mya who i met on set a year and a half ago. She is a dancer and has appeared in many music videos.We plan to work together on writing scripts. We also know that scripts are in big demand in the movie industry.
Hope to hear from the rest of the cast and crew of "ALL THAT I NEED"..let us all know what you are up to.
Cheers
Joe Ring
