Good Luck

I was waiting for coffee and a Portobello Sandwich at 101 Coffee when I noticed that Colin Farrell was sitting at the table next to me with two of his friends. He was just about to leave, I tried to get his attention so I could congratulate him on getting to work with my brother, but he just kept walking.

Questions

I while ago I got the questions which character that I have portrayed that I feel the strongest connection with, and what character I would love to some day portray?

I've been pondering these questions for weeks, and my answer must be Micke and Ben Hur. I was nominated for Best Supporting Actor as Micke in “The Dog Trick” and I think it's rather obvious for any viewer that Micke and myself have a lot in common.

Ben Hur would be something of a dream to portray, and I've been told that I sometimes look like a young Charlton Heston... A story of revenge, passion and freedom. Perhaps Michael Bay could be the director?

iSkarsgard

Bought an iPhone this morning (so I could blog from the set). Can't get the phone to work though. Nowhere to insert the SIM, nowhere to dial or to answer. Other than that it works fine. Music player, video and photos, even YouTube. I love YouTube.

Friday

I've decided to work the party on Friday. I called the guy and accepted the offer but I forgot to ask what it pays. Oh well, working a party is pretty cool what ever the pay is.

Overheard in the Valley

I spent the whole morning looking through “Overheard in New York”, and I realized that I “overheard” something a few weeks ago. I was on an audition, hoping to get a role in an independent film, directed by some hip up-and-coming, but unfortunately unknown, director. Anyway, this man, at least twice my size, was sitting with the rest of us in a hotel lobby in the Valley. I can't remember the street but I have a note somewhere with an address, can't seem to find it. Jeez, I just keep drifting away from the story, aren't I? Anyway, this huge, pale and slowly balding man kept telling these stories of when he was filming with Di Caprio. Claiming that he was one of the extras when they did “The Beach” (obviously a lie, I have seen “The Beach” twice and he wasn't in it). This guy told the person next to him that Di Caprio had been so impressed with the acting that Di Caprio wished that he had known him then he was staring in “Titanic”. Hilarious! Not even Swedish director Roy Andersson, who loves freaks and outcasts, would have cast this guy in any of his absurd and boring commercials. Anyway, just wanted to get this story of my chest.

Friendster or Myspace?

Quick question to all you Internet people, should I sign up for Friendster or Myspace? Or should I just stick to Lunarstorm and my blog?

This morning

It's fairly chilly outside today, mid 50s in the morning, but it should reach 70 degrees in the afternoon according to the news. I bought Filippa K coat when I visited my family in Stockholm and it's quite useful when it gets cold outside.
