nopalina

Yesterday I shot a nationwide Spanish commercial. I was very apprehensive and quite nervous about it. My agent called me on Monday and said, "I've got a job for you." She also said, that I was a principle, I didn't have any lines, and it's for a weight loss product.

So I was like, Umm, I don't know about this. And then she told me how much I was getting paid and I said, "What time?" So, the entire week I was so nervous about it because I kept thinking, "Oh dear lord, please don't let me be the "BEFORE."

I thought I was gonna be that actor on the herpes commercial, who doesn't have herpes, but now the whole world thinks he has herpes.

I was thinking, they needed fatties so I got the part. Which made me really sad, especially since I'd recently lost 15 pounds and had been feeling pretty good about myself. Anyway, this was all in my head, because I got on set and it was awesome, and nothing at all like I expected.

The product is called Nopalina, and it's basically Fiber.


My story line was: I eat a bunch of junk food, I feel like shit, I drink NOPALINA, I then feel like a Million dollars! I used the "head shaking and nodding" technique of commercial acting.

Shake your head to signify that something is not quite right. "ay, dios mio" shake, shake,shake.

Nod your head to convey that now you feel like one million dollars "ohhh, que bueno!" nod, nod, and nod.


Yes, this is my Masters and craft at work.
