One of the actors I auditioned for the lead in my series, "The Struggle", was Gage Robinson. He is a very talented actor. He got all the gay jokes. He made me laugh the most and he can definitely fake the sexual noises. Out of the, nearly 75, actors I met with, I had the most fun with him.
We met at Starbucks in Culver City. I was sitting at an outdoor table. Watchung for him to enter. Hard for me to recognize he because he looked so different in each role. But then, I saw a man walking in the rear entrance. His muscles were so big, his shirt was about to rip open and he was going to turn into "The Incredible Hulk". I looked at him and said "That's him!". He's a personal trainer, but has decreased in size lately.
He did not book the lead role, but I did choose him to play Mickey Blake. The former, overweight, child star turned Oscar winning action hero.
He will now be featured in Hallmark's first reality show. Possibly winning a lead role in a Hallmark movie. I know he can do it. Of the 5 actors I met for the role, 2 have booked Lifetime movies. Shayne Davis in "The Wrong Cheerleader". The one who I chose as my lead role, Bobby Slaski, was the 2nd lead in "Murder at Blackthorne Manor" along with 2 seasons in a Kyle Massey sitcom.
Gage can be seen at 0:33 in the video. You can tell his personality and comedic skills by his mouth.
