... series. He's working with a producer to find new talent for the series. He thought a good way to go would be to talk to well-known theater directors around the country as well as in Europe and Australia. That's why he contacted me among others. He's interested in new faces.

Also, he didn't say it, but I imagine he has budget constraints imposed by the producer and studio. So he could be looking for quality actors but likely can't afford big name, established actors."

Brennan was mildly disappointed as she thought about the idea of budget constraints.

Diana, seeing the expression of skepticism on Brennan's face as the mention of money, continued, "It would be good money if you're able to land one of the leading roles. He told me the going rate would be about $50K per episode for the four main characters, and $30K for secondary players."

"Really! That's a lot. At least for me. How many episodes is he planning? What is the series about?"

"I don't know too many details about the series. From the brief synopsis he gave me, the main premise is built around two couples who meet on their honeymoon and become friends. They find that the two couples, coincidentally, are neighbors from the same city in northern California, and they have intertwined pasts of some sort."

"He asked me to get back to him sometime over the next day or two with any prospects or recommendations I might have. If you're interested, I'll let him know. He also asked me to send a headshot for anyone I decided to recommend, so I could send him the one of you I have on file.

"Brennan, I know this is a potentially exciting opportunity. In addition to the financial aspect, increased visibility like this might lead to even more opportunities for you. But please, take your time thinking about this. It's a big decision. I know how devoted you are to your craft and the theater. Going in this direction wouldn't preclude you from also continuing in the theater and live performance, but television and film -- it's a different world."

Brennan stood in the shower; water careening and flowing over the elegant curves of her body. She thought once again about Diana and about the unexpected opportunity. She reflected, "Diana asked me to think this through carefully. I always do my best thinking in the shower."
