So, I had an audition for a car commercial. I thought it went pretty good… They called me in for a second one. I didn’t think it went as well as the first one, and to be honest it felt kinda awkward. However, there must have been something about me the executives sitting in on the second one saw that they liked for their product. Fast forward a couple days… I’m actually filming a project and I get an email from my agent, “Hold For Chrysler”. I got anxious. But I usually force myself to play it down, because it wasn’t a confirmation. I prayed about it, “I said God if it’s your will let the next email be a solid confirmation.” My heart started to race and I anxiously looked at my phone for every single vibration. Then it came… My agent emails, “WooHoo AL McFOSTER is booked for the national commercial!”. I screamed! I usually don’t but this time I did. I bowed my head in prayer to thank God. The people I were working with noticed… “What happened?”, they said. I told them with excitement, “I just booked the commercial!” They were all happy for me…

Then from there, it went soooooo fast. I had a fitting. I get to set. We film. It goes well. Took a long day but it was done! Thank God. And here is just me caught in the moment, doing what I love… #Blessed

I got some really exciting news! I booked a LEAD role in an upcoming comedic short film called “Mike And Linda“. In it I play Mike who is an egotistical businessman who is having relationship issues with his wife Linda. I just did a table read with the writer, director and producer which went very well. I really like this script, and I’m sure when you see the film you will crack up laughing at the story. I can’t wait! Stay tuned here to my blog and I’ll update this post with more info and pics when we start shooting.

Have a great day, and NEVER stop chasing your dreams!

UPDATED:

I had a pretty fun time doing this film! The process was easy, the crew was energetic and the final result came out great. I can’t wait to see the finished product when it comes out! I’ll let you guys know as soon as I do, but it’s looking like Fall 2016. Here is a few photos on set (below) and check my Instagram for a short behind the scenes video of me in a scene.

Hey guys… Just found out that I booked a role in a production for one of Canada’s oldest and most established TV/Film studios, the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation). I’m looking forward to the experience and currently practicing my lines. Should be fun! Thanks to my agent for continuing to get me out there. I’ll update this post once I get more information. Wish me the best! Salute.

UPDATE:

So I just completed the first day of filming and it went great! I’d like to thank Kevin and the whole team, who treated me very well. I appreciate everything! It was a very humbling experience to work as an actor in such a legendary building who’s mad stars out of Jim Carrey, Howie Mandel, Andrea Martin, Catherine O’Hara, Eugene Levy, Rick Mercer and so much more! I’m blessed.

Wassup everybody? I got good news! After a very intense audition process where I had to be flirty, angry and even cry, I booked a role in an upcoming film called “Trauma Ring”. In the film I play “Gordon” who’s a boxing trainer who goes through a conflict between his own emotions, his girlfriend and her jealousy of the women he trains. I’m looking for to this a lot based on the way it’s shot, the script and that it’s a very large principal role for me. The film is called “Trauma Ring” and filming starts very soon! Wish me luck and I gotta be physically ready for sure. I’ll blog more updates as they come.

UPDATED:

Filming went well… Production had some small issues but all were changed or resolved. I had a fun time and enjoyed the process. Can’t wait to see the final result! Here’s a pic of me in action:

2016 ACTRA Awards

The other day I attended my first ever ACTRA Awards. I was supposed to go several times before but was always either booked or out of town for other work. So it was good to finally take in the experience with friends and other actors & performers. The Carlu, where they have the award show each year, is a beautiful venue and it was the first time I was there also. The night started off very socially with alot of “schmoozing” while eating great food (kudos to the caterer) and having way too expensive drinks. The show itself started off a bit slow and the host’s monologue was probably longer than it should have been, but it was funny and entertaining. I love the fact that there was a “Salsa” theme to the show. It added some nice and needed flavor!

Overall, the event was decent and classy. It was good to see my peers in the entertainment business celebrate other peers and promote being proud of the career we are in. I do think there needs to be more catergories awarded though, however it was good to see that the veteran stunt performers were recognized. I also appreciated the tribute to all the performers who passed away in the past year, which included my friend Aleesha Souda (RIP). Cheers to all the winners and nominees, and see you next year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody? I want to wish all of you my fans, friends and supporters a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2016! It’s a new year, and I have new challenges and new goals. No need to bother with the “New Years Resolutions” that we often fail at. Just try to do better, be a better you and try new things. I wish you the best!

I rang in 2016 with family and friends at a fun house party, after a day in beautiful Niagara Falls! Eating, gambling and taking in the sights.

As for me, I will do what I’m preaching… I also have quite a few projects on the horizon for this new year. A few surprises when it comes to hosting TV/online segments and live events, stay tuned. All of that, plus a bunch of weddings to MC as usual (if you know someone getting married, tell them to check the promo video and book with me early) and more voice work with commercials and other stuff! Plus so much more… So I plan to stay busy and occupied this new year, watch for me!

Do remember to say HI and follow me on all my social networks (look at the left)!

Take care…

Maybe we can work together. Well, I hope you had a fun Easter weekend! I did. Just went to church and spent quality time with friends and family over good food. ‘Til next time, be good and stay positive.

What’s good everybody??? Hope all is well… I just received the 30sec movie teaser for the film called “Mannish Boy” that I’m in and it looks real good! I’m excited to say the least. I play a drug kingpin and enforcer. The story takes place in Brooklyn, NYC in the 1970’s about two brothers caught up in the drug game. It’s a period piece so the look is very vintage… including my hair, it’s an afro, LOL! Enjoy it and let me know your thoughts. It’s comes out this Spring.
