I saw Zack and Miri Make a Porno today, and while I’ve always been a fan of Kevin Smith, I realized I am now more a fan of Seth Rogen. A lot of Seth’s characters remind me of myself in different ways, and more importantly it reminds me that I used to want to try acting. It’s one of those random thoughts that sits in the back of your mind, but I’ve not ever had the impetus to really try anything.

I want to think Seth Rogen is like me. I’m a sensitive guy with an often but not always dirty sense of humor and I have no shame. Maybe that’s not a fair description of either of us, but bear with me. He’s only a year older than me and while he has a list of writing credits that I certainly don’t, I can somehow identify with him and it makes me want to be an actor.

Last night I had a great time pretending to be Wario, and I feel like I was able to stay in character despite heavy drinking and annoying everyone around me. If I can be Wario, I can probably be someone else too!

So, maybe something like improv classes might be in my future as Clara suggested earlier tonight. Or maybe I can continue with unrealized and probably unrealistic dreams 🙂
