B&B Perks

As the massive, flagrant imposition of a banner thingy (I believe the proper internet vernacular is "masthead") above might vaguely suggest, I'll be on THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL Wednesday, January 14th. Nothing huge or anything - just a few lines as the Bartender, but I did share the scene with Dr. Phil's wife, Robin. Not that I had any direct lines with her. Just that I was, you know, IN it. Off to the side... a little bit.

She basically played herself, and her whole exchange with one of the show's main characters was pretty much a big plug for a self-help book she's got coming out. The only reason I'm detailing any of this is because as a result, that scene - ahem, OUR scene - will also be airing on THE DR. PHIL SHOW and ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT on something like January 5th (tomorrow) or 6th. As is the case with most people who don't work in CBS' Media Programming Department, I don't really know which day(s), and the release papers I signed naturally didn't specify. I grumble.

Of course it's a total luxury to be able to complain about something like this (OMFG, they didn't tell me which days I'm going to be on network television AGAIN?!), so I'll stow the joke about kidnapping and ransoming some executive's pet chihuahua and just be genuinely thankful. If you happen to catch either of those shows on either of those days, keep an eye out...

Much love,

Images

At one point or another, all actors are eventually forced to walk the thin line between out-and-out vanity and what's just good business. In the name of both, I chastely present: a few headshots and other photos from various past projects, courtesy of Flickr:

If you're not seeing the photo thingy above, click here to view the images in a slightly less cool, non-flash environment. And then go get thee Flash - you'll need it. If the internet were mostly a vast, intellectual desert wasteland (we're pretending), Flash would be like having a book on how to find and breed rare, nutrient-rich bugs buried in the sand. It just might come in handy, and it would for sure make for impressive conversation. That, and everybody else would have it, too. When in Rome.

I'll be adding more shots to this collection of photos pretty regularly - just click the "Images" button on the right to come back to this post any time.

Thanks!

Introduction

My name is Trevor Algatt, but you may remember me as that guy you saw at that audition for that thing that one time. I'm a Philly-grown stage, film, TV, and voiceover actor living and working in Los Angeles. I also write music, but there's a whole other (remarkably similar) site for that.

I train and compete year-round with Southern California Aquatics, eat a mostly raw, mostly vegan diet, and have no sense of smell (for serious). When I was a kid, I would pretend to be a gargoyle when in diners and shopping malls with my parents. Gargoyles are typically made of heavy stone and do not move; my childhood record is 40 minutes.

Some of my acting work to date:

In the coming days, weeks, months, years, and decades, I'll post news, photos, videos, musings, and other me-related stuffs here. If you dig what you read here and are into such modern-day mainstays as convenience and efficiency, you might want to subscribe to this site's feed. If you have no idea what "subscribing to a feed" means, there's a short video here that breaks it down really well.

Thanks for stopping by! To an AMAZING 2009,
