In 1944 the Oscars were held at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, and next month the short film Labor+Justice will premiere at the same location! It’s a wonderful film written and directed by Sarah Joy Byington, and I’m proud to be among the wonderful cast.

Consider donating to the production’s finishing fund at this link: bit.ly/3KgbHj1

The screening will be at the HollyShorts Film Festival, making it eligible for an Oscar nomination!

A film in which I have a bit part, Labor+Justice, is headed to Hollywood at the HollyShorts Film Festival! (That’s me in the foreground.)

It’s a wonderful short with dark, biting humor and a dark, sad, but all-to-timely story. I’m very proud to have been a part of it.

Though not a SAG-AFTRA member, I support their members and I won’t cross their picket line. If, like me, you intend to become a member, note well the following in the strike notice: “NOTICE TO NON-MEMBERS: Any non-member seeking future membership in SAG-AFTRA who performs covered services for a struck company during the strike will not be admitted into membership in SAG-AFTRA.”

Despite rumors to the contrary, a SAG-AFTRA strike is still looming.

From the SAG-AFTRA website: “We will not be manipulated by this cynical ploy to engineer an extension when the companies have had more than enough time to make a fair deal.”

From DEADLINE: “As talks between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP continue this week, actors are getting a head start on picket planning should negotiations end in a stalemate at midnight on July 12 and lead to a double strike alongside the Writers Guild.”

At the gym before closing:
“15 minutes, everyone!”
Me: “Thank you, 15!”

I’m addicted and gaga over The Diplomat w/ Keri Russell and I just now did a double-take when Russel’s character runs into an old friend played by actor that’s on Mastodon, Catherine Russell (@CatherineRussell2)! (No relation?) Catherine Russell plays Jill Klein, but I’m not sure who that is, yet...

At bedtime, I’m going to listen to The New Quiz, produced by Catherine Russell’s son, Sam Holmes. A double header!

To me, working for free with students is an important part of being a professional actor.

My voice sounds bad in my tiny apartment...
It’s a little flat.

How do you instantly turn someone into a professional ?
Tell them they have a nice voice.
 
What do you get when you set a voice actor on fire?
Vocal fry.

One annoying thing about my IMDb listing is that it shows my name as “Daniel Norton (II)” with a roman numeral after it because there’s already another “Daniel Norton” there.

But it could have been worse.

@CatherineRussell2
😆 Yep.
I had a commercial callback via Zoom yesterday where the director was only a voice, as if speaking from the firmament.
