Joe- This is just fantastic. It shows that you should never give up on your dream and that hard work, persistence and especially a positive attitude does pay off. You are certainly a positive role model for us all. Keep up the great work and you'll soon be that guy that everyone wants to hear, and when I go in for a read the director will tell me "Give me a Joe J. Thomas kind of read".

You da man!

Much appreciation Jon and Jason - after all, us "J's" gotta stick together!

Jon, your comment about a "Joe J Thomas read" reminded me of a guy I've worked with named Glen Moreshower (done a metric ton of on-camera work). He had a thing about the 5 stages of stardom - here's a snippette:

Ted Appleby - 5 stages of stardom:
Stage 1: Who is Ted Appleby?
Stage 2: Get me Ted Appleby!
Stage 3: Get me someone like Ted Appleby.
Stage 4: Get me a young Ted Appleby...
Stage 5: Who is Ted Appleby?

Seems like a lot of distance between Stage 1 and Stage 2. I hope when I reach Stage 2 I can milk it for a long time ;-)

Happy to be on this road with everyone,
Joe J Thomas
