our big break

You people have no idea how much work goes into the photos we put on this blog. Lighting, wardrobe, hair and make-up. Okay, not really. What you are actually looking at is our professional acting debut, which took place this very morning. That's right, Wyn and I are starring in a national TV commercial for the Peter Potty!! The spot features one child, so my brother and I took turns in front of the camera. And while we were supplied matching baby blue polo shirts, we had to share a pair of shorts. Thus...my state of undress in the above photo. Oh, how we suffer for our craft.


Wyn offered his assistance to the Director of Photography during his pantless off-camera time. "No no no no no," he sighed. "This moment clearly calls for a rack focus shot."


In what can only be called an odd bit of casting, our mom plays the role of our mom in the commercial. She did alright, but then nobody's going to be looking at her anyway.


Here I am projecting anguished despondency in a "before Peter Potty saved the day" shot. I gotta tell you, this acting gig is a piece of cake.

Seriously, we had a really good time and are so grateful for this experience! We'll definitely let you know when you can see the finished commercial. Until then, you'd better run out and get your Peter Potty while you still can...
