And we have a cast!

The final cast memeber signed on yesterday. Cameron Hughes will be playing the part of Lou. Though an easy part to cast (it's both juicy and brief), it wasn't cast until now for a few reasons.

First, I had origianlly cast Peter Vrankovic in the role. I love Peter both as a person and as an actor. He was quite eager to play the role, too. I'd worked with Peter twice -- once as Joey the Bagman in "Second Bananas" and once as Horndog in "Nobody Knows I'm a Dog." But, it wasn't meant to be as Peter was required to have knee surgery that wouldn't have him back on his feet in time.

There were a few names being batted around, but I had always secretely wished to get Cameron on board. First of all, he's an outstanding actor. Second, he's very enthusiastic about my plays, which always makes ME happy!

So, Cameron showed up at a rehearsal, I pushed a script in his hand, and the rest is history! Good timing too, as we start blocking Lou this coming Monday! I'll also take the opportunity to take some publicity photos.
