I just sent out a milestone email, highlighting the six months since my last milestone email. Here it is, for those not on my list:

Hey there! I have now lived one year in Los Angeles. The year in one word: awesome. Many good things keep happening, professionally and personally. Some highlights of recent awesomeness:

I wrapped the independent feature film Look in the Mirror. What a great experience. I play the lead character, so there were many days of work, challenging and rewarding. Principal photography and pick-up scenes are both done as of last week, and it’s about to be submitted to festivals! Big thanks to that gang.

I’m very happy with my new commercial agent, Kazarian/Spencer/Ruskin & Associates, commonly called KSR. It’s awesome that KSR attracts good people. Another great actor in my indie film? She’s with KSR. A very talented actor in a recent reading? Ditto. A new friend I met at an Audi commercial? Yup, you guessed it, he’s with KSR, too. “They’re family,” he said, over one of LA’s best burgers at The Counter in Santa Monica.

I had a rewarding table read of a new script from a Boston writer, and it offered a chance to reconnect with actors from Brotherhood. I performed in a new play at the Autry Museum, whose theater is dedicated to storytelling focused on Native Americans. I started to understudy a popular show at Two Roads Theatre. I shot a webisode where hilarious immoral things happen. I filmed a scene with a Boston friend. I did long-form improv at UCB. I shot short films at USC. I auditioned for TV shows. I did voiceover work.

I … well, the list goes on. I can’t possibly include every Good Thing, but I’ll finish by expressing gratitude for the awesome peers I have discovered in my two top-secret acting communities. I feel at home and I’m loving the ever-growing web of people I am meeting here. You guys rock! (And the communities are not really top-secret.)

Finally, in case you haven’t noticed, social media is the new thing. You know, things like Twitter. My favorite new Site Of The Week is Personas. You should go there now and enter your name to see how the Internet sees you. But Personas is not perfect. Enter my name, and the largest chunk comes out as “sports.” Uh, that’s not me. So know that the Kevin Ashworth who is a teenage soccer phenom in Palo Alto, and the Kevin Ashworth who plays rugby in the Cayman Islands, and the Kevin Ashworth who lives in Toronto and is my Facebook friend and his status updates are always about baseball — these are different Kevin Ashworths. Good guys, well-named, but different.

That’s it for now. More (always more) on Bloggie Blog. Thank you for reading, and please let me know if there’s anything I can do for you!

Best,

Kevin
