Happy New Year
ALOHA and WELCOME to the "Official" Aaron Ikeda's Actor blog.
Happy New Year Everyone. May 2006 bless you with good health and good fortune.
In case you were wondering, I had to use the word "official" because there have been recent issues regarding the validity of some of the"other" Aaron Ikeda websites. Please don't get them confused with the Aaron Ikeda "Genius" website or the Aaron Ikeda "Sexiest Man of the Year" website. As we all know, there are many copies but only one original. Luckily, you have happened upon a one of a kind offering to the public which, for a limited time, will be available only to you. As we say in the business "Moving On"!
I just finished yet another episode on the emmy award winning (for editing) comedy series [scrubs]!!!
For those of you not familiar with the show, allow me to bring you up to speed. [scrubs] is currently airing back to back, 1/2 hour episodes at 9:00pm and 9:30pm on Tuesdays on NBC. [scrubs] is set in a fictional hospital named "Sacred Heart" whose where abouts are unknown but somewhere in the United States. "Sacred Heart" hospital is run by the chief of medicine Dr. Bob Kelso (played by Ken Jenkins). The regular staff of Doctors at "Sacred Heart" are Dr. John "JD" Dorian JD (played by Zach Braff), Dr. Elliot Reid, a female (played by Sarah Chalke), Dr. Chris Turk (played by Donald Faison), Dr. Perry Cox (played by John C. McGinley), Dr. Robert Maschio (played by Todd Quinlan) and Dr. Doug Murphy (played by Johnny Kastl). Also on staff at "Sacred Heart" are Nurse Carla Espinosa (played by Judy Reyes), Nurse Laverne Roberts (played by Aloma Wright), Administrator Sam Lloyd (played by Ted Buckland), Administrator Jordan Sullivan (played by Christa Miller Lawrence) and the janitor (played by Neil Flynn).
I play "Rex", one of five featured interns on the show. The other interns are "Keith" (played by Travis Shuldt), "Jason" (played by Shaughn Buchholz), "Lisa" (played by Jordan Zucker), and "Gloria" (played by Christina Miles).
The latest episode #514 is entitled "My Own Personal Hell". Due to an actors honorable duty, I am sworn to secrecy. Besides, I wouldn't want to spoil any plot lines. All I ask is that you watch the show and laugh your asses off the couch.
I want to send a shout out to all my [scrub] homies Bill, ZB, Donald, Sarah, Ken, John C., Neil, Johnny K, Randall, Adam, Travis, Shaughn, Jordan, Christina, and the rest of the great cast and crew. Special thanks to Brett, Debby, Blythe, and Matt of Romano/Benner casting for casting me.
I am very fortunate to have landed a recurring role on a major show such as [scrubs]. Today, I did a little soul searching while driving my SUV down a very crowded 110 freeway. I was on my way to pick-up my new set of headshots for my new theatrical agent AlVARADO REY, when I noticed a bunch of billboards advertising every kind of TV show or movie. I mean, how could you not notice them. Bombarded by everything from soft drinks to Lawyers to Fast food. Not only did I start to get hungry but I started to pay close attention to which network or studio was creating the show. That's when it dawned on me how fortunate I am to have landed a role on [scrubs] and on NBC. Acting as a profession is such a tough business. Not only do you not know when your next pay check may be, you also have to deal with the fact that you will be rejected more then you will be accepted. I found that the key is in you. It starts with you and ends with you. All the other forces that come into play are really out of your control. If that is the case, why hang on to the grief. let it go and move on. If you ever wondered why actors make such interesting as people, it's not because of the fame and fortune. It's because of the countless stories of personal struggle that were fought up to that point. Every actor has searched their inner souls long and hard and asked the questions "who am I" and "what can I accomplish in my lifetime". The obstacles are too numerous to name. The perserverance is unimaginable. For me, this is a great start to a career I have always imagined.
I promise you, that I will be less serious in the future.
During my work this week, I was invited to the [scrubs] 100th episode party.... very cool! I'll keep you posted.
