After years of seeing my face on television, I’ve once again faced one of the hardest things you can — cancellation. Its been a tough year folks. I know a lot of people out there have been going through career changes, unemployment, and being forced to shelter in place at home. Working on television is a precarious job at the best of times, and we all can’t help but feel like the best of times are a distant memory at this point. I’ve read that the best thing to do is stay positive! A change of employment is stressful sure, but you never know what the future can bring. Working in the entertainment industry has been the ride of a lifetime, I’m immensely proud of the work myself and those around me have done, and while I’m sad to face the cancellation of a long running series I know that soon I’ll be back on my feet.
The first thing is remember to breathe and take time to be introspective. The job market is cutthroat right now, but you want to find something that is personally and professionally fulfilling. Hungry people make mistakes, believe me, I know. After some soul searching I believe that I can find opportunities out east and will be heading out soon to start over, after a short period of what I’ll be calling “funemployment!”
As the former host of “Blood Cars: The Game that Kills!” I am more aware of how fortunes can change than anyone. Like a car hitting one of the famous death turns on the ruins of America’s highways my career may have hit a wall, but unlike that car I can turn things around before the feral shadow people arrive. I was disappointed when that show also ended, of course. No gasoline means no more cars but we went out on the top of the ratings, who could ask for more?
As we prepare to leave Neo-Cali to get ahead of the tide of fire I’m going to get proactive and start putting my resume and headshots out there. If you are in a region with television, please keep me in mind! Remember that we’re all in this together, you can’t keep a good economy down for long!
