WOW! Since my last posting so much has happened and I can hardly believe how everything begins to culminate and build on the things previous. I finally moved into the MASTER CLASS with Ivana Chubbuck because my previous coach, Ben Davis, who is a genius, wouldn't allow me to stay in the Advanced Class any longer. By working with the "Big Dogs" as I like to think of it, I have been so inspired to continue on in this endeavor, but ever more so importantly, I am encouraged to trust my own instincts all the more. Long gone are the days of allowing someone else inform me of how they see me as an actor and what I should be doing. I know myself the best, which is ultimately why over the Holiday break, while I was home in Atlantat, I decided to return to who I really am- and that is Reid Gormly. The Actor- Anderson Reid- was just that and actor- it was an idea- it was an attempt to fulfill a "requirement." But Reid is the person- he always has been and always will be. The timing of all these shifts is so particularly fitting because I returned to my original "House" in my name, I booked my first TV audition in over two years--I booked a co-star gig on HOUSE. And prove my point on everything building on something from before, I did a workshop in November with the Casting Director who remembered me and brought me in for the part, and on top of that three years ago, I worked some private catering gigs for an Executive Producer, who happens to now be on HOUSE. Now, he may or may not have gotten me the gig, but there is so much possibility in the world that he very well may have.
As I write this, I have just finished my day as Doctor #2 on one of the most anticipated episodes of the season. Hugh Laurie was such an amazing actor and generous man and I hope to one day work with him again. If anyone out there from HOUSE is reading this- that's you- Greg, Katie, Eli, Hugh, Marianne, Amy, Vince, Paul, Marla, Angela, Lisa, thanks for an amazing day---I will gladly be on "Lockdown" with you guys again anytime

You were in "House"? When??? That is THE favorite show that Joe and I never miss! How did I not see you, and what date did this episode air on? Either way, congrats! That must have been amazing!
