Someone’s got a photo posted of me at the LDS film festival. They don’t know it’s me - I’m just sitting in an event. I’m sitting on the far right, and I look like a vaguely mopy dork. Britani Bateman (The RM, Mobsters and Mormons) is standing on the left.

I read this newsletter saying to market yourself as an actor using one or two “types” (mythical types probably based on Joseph Cambpell’s work). These are: The Innocent, The Regular Guy, The Explorer, The Sage, The Hero, The Outlaw, The Magician, The Lover, The Jester, The Ruler, The Caregiver, The Creator.

Kirby Heybourne I think would be an Innocent Jester. Britani Bateman is totally a Lover Caregiver. What would I market myself as? Lets work from that picture. Again, I look like a vaguely mopy dork. I think that translates to The Regular Guy, and mixing this with I’m guessing my often heckling reputation at this forum, I’m probably an Outlaw, too. This translates in non-mythical terms to “An everyday jerk”. I think I’d better change that ;) but at least I can be relieved that the archetypes aren’t so specific as “Jerk”. Or “Obsessed Maniac.” I’m also that. Except I’m not - I’m a Regular Outlaw.

I’d like to work in elements of The Explorer, The Hero, The Sage, The Magician, and the Creator.. but then I’d have to cast off heckling pretensions! Ahem. I mean I’d have to cast off Regular Outlaw.

Until then, in this photo I’m smiling, at least..
