ONE LIFE TO LIVE


For people who don’t watch anything but action packed movies via DVD/Blue Ray/VHS/PPV there is actually another thing that fat people watch called Daytime Television. I know, I didn’t believe it either but there is this show called One Life To Live about a guy who saves beautiful women, and like a lot of hospital stuff and he only has one life to live and perform all of his action. Now I have never seen this show cause it airs when I am usually training, filming or auditioning for the next Big Thing. But when Daytime Television calls Mike Stone for reinforcement I am the first to be on the scene to provide my acting skill and knowledge to the rest of the cast.

After an early morning park workout I showed up to the set with my game face on. Once the director saw me he knew I was the chosen one and strategically placed me in the middle of the bar anticipating a bar room brawl, needless to say I was feeling right at home. Bad news is I couldn’t wear my patented Black Tank Top, with headband and armbands showing off my chiseled yet circular biceps with the gigantic vein flowing down the center. Good news was I get type cast as a badass Navy Seal, which is pretty cool. They lined up 4 professional stunt men for the big table crash, but after one rehearsal running lines, back hands and a couple spine busters they were all carried off in stretchers. Directors started getting very scarred and weren’t sure how to handle me or give me adjustments. I promised to settle down, “I just get very powerful in my acting”. But I proved to be too much to handle for the other actors as well when I threw a beer bottle at this old evil lady, Robin Strasser, who I thought was the villain on the show. I guess I was wrong cause producers came down from the booth and tied me down injecting horse tranquilizers into my veins trying to calm me down. They eventually let me go and asked me not to touch anyone/anything and don’t say a word. The directors walked me back on set and pleaded with me to just do some Pose downs and look good for the camera, which is never a problem for me, even after being drugged.

All in all it was a pretty good shoot but I am starting to think that I wasn’t cut out for Daytime TV, as it is just not raw and intense enough for an action oriented man of my caliber. Regardless check out Mike Stone as the NAVY SEAL on One Life To Live on 4/24 & 4/25 - 2PM on ABC.
