Losing track of time!

Hello everyone!

Stevens Family... wow it sounds like you guys are as busy as ever! Congrats to all of you guys for sticking to your goals and accomplishing your new belts! Not only that but it sounds like you guys are really balancing your other activities on top of that. I am so proud of you guys!

As far as the dancing goes... I wish I could have Brenna and Olivia give me some lessons because I booked one of 3 ensemble roles in the musical "Pippin" for the East-West Players (EWP) theater company. It is such an honor to be a part of this prestigious theater company. One of my goals upon moving to LA was to do a show for EWP and I can't believe I am already about to reach that goal. On top of booking the role, I was offered entry into the Actors Equity Association (AEA) which is the union for all major theater performers. The AEA is like SAG, but for theater performers. It is equally if not harder to get into AEA so I feel so lucky to have gotten both cards less than a year into my career. I've heard that many actors try for years before getting in.

Starting on the 8th, I will be rehearsing 6 days a week for hours upon hours to prepare for the show. I have done musicals in high school but this is so much bigger I hope I have what it takes to survive the 11 weeks I will be involved with this project! One thing is for sure, I will gain a ton of experience doing this show and I will become a much better dancer, singer, and performer in general. I am excited because they are using an Japanese Anime, hop-hop styling to the show. In part of the dance audition, I was able to showcase my martial arts talent and apparently they are looking to showcase my skills as a part of the dance numbers... sounds good to me!

Lately it's been very busy with everything that I have sometimes forgotten what day and month it is! On top of that, Richelle and I are searching for an apartment or house to rent that is closer to the city. The weather has been beautiful and we just celebrated our first Easter together. It was great!

Alex, you are a funny guy with funny comments. Good work getting those tricks down. You guys did awesome in Vegas and if you guys continue to work hard you have a great shot at the title! But remember you guys can never practice enough!

Well on Sunday I have my last day on the set of Kamen Rider. I can't believe it's already been 3 months since I started. I have had so much fun I am sad it will be over soon! On the other hand, there will be much more good times to come as we find out what channel and when it will air, and then finally watching it on TV! From the footage I have seen from the show lately, this show is going to be a mega-hit with kids.... when I saw the latest trailer they put together last week, I was honestly amazed at how cool all the effects and how good the show looked! I just wish you guys could see it! Last week on set one of the stunt guys from Japan gave me a gift... my own action figure!!!! I attached a pic for you to see! The other pic is Mrs. Moh cooking Easter BruncH!

New Website!

Hey everyone... it's me again. I know it's a big letdown after Mrs. Moh finally made her debut on the blog.

Well I thought I would share my new actor webpage with you guys at www.mikemoh.net

Mrs. Moh made it for me with the help of Mr. Zilles. Thanks guys!

Anyways, I have been keeping very busy auditioning for various projects and looking for a new acting class. I checked out a class last week and it dawned on me while I watched the actors work that I have a LONG ways to go before I become a great actor.... I need to use the same hard work and dedication I used to become a good martial artist and apply it to becoming a good actor.

I just got back from a callback for the musical "Pippin". I'm crossing my fingers that I will get the part of "Lewis"... the dim-witted half brother of Pippin.. it's actually a pretty good role for me to play!! I will keep you guys posted on it!!

My first post!

Hi Everyone! I figured it was about time I added something to the blog, although my life isn't nearly as exciting as Mike's. Since he is gone I need to do something to keep myself busy. It was so great getting to see lots of you in Vegas last week! The demo team did so great, it really makes me miss it (tear). We also are so sad we missed testing, I heard everyone did an amazing job. We cannot wait to see everyone in April for the tournament. It is coming up SO fast, we will be there in no time.

I guess as for me, over the last few months I have been doing lots of traveling for both work and play. I went to San Fransisco to watch the Vikings play the 49ers with my mom, then Mike and I went to Vegas twice (once with my work and once for ATA), then I was in both Hong Kong and London for work. It has been lots of fun and London has been by far my favorite. I am a nerd, so I loved all of the amazing history in London. My favorite part had to be Westminster Abbey, I stood in the same place that all of the Kings and Queens for the last 500 years had been crowned. It really makes me want to do a lot more traveling, although I would definitely prefer to go with Mike the next time.

Hope all is great with everyone! Here are some pics from some of my travels. The first is Hong Kong Harbor. The second is Miss K and I on the trolley in San Fransisco and the third is On the London Eye (Worlds largest ferris wheel). You can see Big Ben and the Parliament Building lit up behind me.

congrats!!!

Congrats to all the new black belts!!! I wish we could have been there! It makes me so proud to know that you guys did it and worked so hard to accomplish your goal of black belt! You are all so deserving of this honor and I can't wait to see you all with your new black belts in April!

Currently I am sitting in my hotel in St. Louis because of all the times I had to be here, there HAD to be a giant snowstorm that stranded me here. I have a really early flight to Rochester MN tomorrow for another appearance as Tekkno Ace! It's been fun visiting different Charter headquarters and visiting with all the employees as a superhero. I will post pics of me in the costume as soon as I get home!

Gotta go!

bye!
