So... It has been a long time since I updated my blog. These days I am somewhat overwhelmed with my engineering job and trying to pursue acting on top of it. Add on top myspace/facebook/email (I'm terrible at responding to people... sorry), trying to have a social life so I don't go crazy, taking classes, fixing tires, etc... and I guess I just let the blog go by the way side. But things have been going well in the acting world in the 9 months since I updated this thing. I've had to take care of business so that I can survive out here, but I've never let my passion for acting slip away and have kept persevering.

A couple of things that have happened have included:
- auditioned for "Men Who Stare at Goats" which stars George Clooney, Ewan McGregor and a lot of other great actors. I was called in by a casting director that saw me perform 2 years prior and that had pulled out my headshot/resume from her files. I auditioned for 3 supporting roles which ended up going to some bigger name actors, but it was a compliment to just be given the opportunity to audition.

-auditioned for a guest star role on "Cold Case" (they ended up rewriting the script and making the character 45; at least I don't look like I'm in my 40s yet...) and a costar role on Criminal Minds. Got both auditions from CDs that saw me perform in the workshops.

-shot a commercial that is a joint venture between the Wii and the Biggest Loser. There's going to be a Biggest Loser game for the Wii, and they said this commercial would be playing during commercial breaks of the show at the end of the next season. I also got called back a 2 weeks later to shoot some pick-up scenes out at the Biggest Loser ranch where they shoot the show. And I saw a ton of the Biggest Losers. Their gym is phenomenal by the way, and I can't imagine a better place to lose weight than out at that ranch. Peaceful, tranquil, mountainous, a pond, lots of trees... The Biggest Losers I saw were for the next season's show and were all real friendly and waving and smiling. Freaked me out a little bit b/c I'm not used to people being so friendly.

- I'll be shooting my first feature film in LA in about a week. It's called "The Hog" and is a comedic horror film. Check out the film's website at http://www.thehogmovie.com. I have a small role as a security guard that has a very close encounter with the title character.

- I now have a new manager: Tiger Bay Entertainment.

- I just had my second meeting with The Michael Zanuck Agency and Mr. Zanuck wants to represent me commercially.

So things are going well and I have a lot to look forward to. Now, if I could just sleep more... I will try to update more in the future and thanks for stopping by!

Here's a goofy webisode I did for my friend Brittani Taylor (aka Rhonda Anthony Tanner) on her R.A.T. Coaching website, reprising my role of "Billy". Shot it with a MAC and a greenscreen!

Thanks Jilm for the ideas! Appreciate you taking a look! Word...

Howdy! Would you, yes you, like to help the up-and-coming William Kidd choose his next headshots???? Yes, that's right, for a limited time only, you can give your suggestions to him for FREE... that's right, for FREE!!!!!! Just leave him a comment underneath this text to the right (can be done anonymously, if desired) letting him know your favorite, most marketable pictures. Remember, they are used to SALE him and get him in the door of agents and casting. William will definitely take your opinion into consideration. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a new video that I did a couple of weeks ago. It's hard to believe that Livfilms started a whole year ago!




I got some new headshots done on Friday, 8/1, but haven't gotten a look at them yet. John Ganun shot them for me. There was one point wear he was shooting me in front of The Laugh Factory on Sunset Blvd, and all these people were driving by rubber-necking. It was actually a very "Hollywood" moment, and I tried to take my own snapshot in my mind so that I could remember the experience. One guy on a motorcycle kept yelling at me because he just had to get some attention I guess. He was, as he put it, the "king of commercials". Most famous/successful people yell and boast about themselves to strangers (...sarcasm).

The master class is going well and I've been enjoying working with my new acting teacher Scott Sedita. Conchata Ferrell, the maid on Two and a Half Men with Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer, sat in on our class the other day and watched us work. She was mainly there to watch Scott teach because she's going to be teaching his method at UCLA for a semester. She gave us some good feedback and told us what it was like working on the show with Charlie and the rest of the cast and crew. She's the epitome of the working actress. She's been in so much stuff, and you've probably seen her many times before, although she may not be a household name. Our class is going to have two or three casting directors that are currently casting sitcoms come to watch us work here in the next few weeks, so I'm looking forward to that. I love going to class, I wish I could do it everyday!!!!
