The continuing adventures of ARVELL: The up-and-coming actor

[Mastrmynd]

I just wanted to let you all know that I finally filmed my scene for Tyler Perry's upcoming film, "Daddy's Little Girls."
Man... it was surreal.
I've done a few indy projects and whatnot, but this time it was totally different.

When the cameramen had that camera all up in my face, I had to take an Arvell-moment...for a moment... and revel in the surreal-ness of it all.

WOW.

i'm going to be on the big screen.
Once again, i'm SAG-worthy.
hehehehehehe...

Just thought I'd share.

I had to pass on being an extra in a Verizon commercial today.    Real world responsibilities came callin'...  And I passed on a stuttering commercial audition on Monday.

I've been so busy these past few weeks, it's been crazy.

Good news, man, good news. You seem to be adding to your body of work pretty significantly lately.

[Mastrmynd]

WS,
  you ain't never lied.  I've moved from a trot to a slow jog...
i like where my career is heading.
SLow and steady works for me.  I don't need to sprint.  I just want to be consistent.  I just want to be a working actor.  Fame?  It comes when it comes, but I like going grocery shopping and hangin' out at the comic book store.
I don't want to be Michael Jackson famous. EVER!

THat sounds right. If you're good (and we know you are), it'll happen, no need to drive yourself crazy over it.

[bluezulu]

you don't want to be mike jackson at the comic shop or anywhere else for that matter these days.

Wow.  Very cool.  Hey, Mastrmynd, remind us when the movie is released so we can all run out and see you, OK?

[Mastrmynd]

Thanks for the love michael.

Don't worry.  I'll definitely remind y'all when the movie is about to come out.

SHucks, it could either be at the end of the year or around february.

we'll see.

You're definitely movin' up!

[Mastrmynd]

Yes, that's me, but it doesn't have project that I've ever worked on.
Just the ones submitted to imdb.com

if you can find a website titled "About...Arvell Poe", then you'll see more of my stuff.

but i digress... Thanx for the props.

MM - Please post your pic to the IMDB site - it may help you get additional offers - and add
something to your bio.  And if you pass another chance/offer to do a commercial, I'm coming
looking for you to knock you upside the head.  Don't you know that more people will see 
you in a commercial than any movie that you'll ever do.  If you want to hit the big time, you
will not let these golden opportunities pass you by.  I don't care if your dog died or your wife
left or your house burnt down, take advantage of the opportunities that Jehovah God sends
your way.  There's 50,000 other actors out here. 

[Mastrmynd]

yes ma'am.

i dont wanna get knocked in the head... and i didnt want to miss the commercial, but it happened.



and the only reason i dont have a pic on my imdb is becuz they want $30 and I didnt have it at the time.
aint got it now, but i'll be gettin' paid soon so i have no excuse

[zulu801]

word man, when the bread aint their you gotta do what you gotta do.  holla back to us when the pic is up

Last night I was partying with Tyler Perry, Melinda Williams and...get this...Morgan Freeman.
:O

it was a surreal moment when I saw Morgan Freeman.
That's my dude!

He's on my list of Black Men who I'd love to work with in the future.
