Hey Jason,
First off, you were great in Almost Famous. Which I liked, but felt thata lot of the Francis McDormand stuff could have been dropped, and most of the 'jokey' stuff sucked. It could have been a really solid flic. Either way, I enjoyed it more than most of this year's offerings. The shots of you playing the keyboard were hilliarious. As was that amazing Jeff Bebe shirt you wore.
I wanted to ask you, as an actor, how many scripts do you get sent by people without agent representation? And if you do, are they even read? I'm trying to figure out how actors get scripts for independant films, if the scripts aren't represented. Because it seems almost as hard to get an actor to read a script, as it is to get an agent to read one.
Oh, and awhile ago, you said that Amadeus was one of your favourite films. Yeehaw! Amadeus rocks ass, and wanted to commend you on your taste.
Also, what films, and albums are you looking forward to in the remainder of the year?
Thanks,
Jeff
