This is a question posed to all of us who work for
Holdon Log all the time. Most people think that "Holdon"
must be the last name of one of the owner's of the company...but,
that isn't the case...
Really,
the name came from what the Actor says to their Agent, Manager,
or a Casting Director when the get called in for an audition.
The conversation usually goes like this:
===========================================
FADE
IN
INT. - APARTMENT - DAY
An
Actor is stapling resumes to their headshots. The sound
of a cell phone snaps the Actor into action. The Actor dives
to the couch where the cell phone rests and answers...
ACTOR
Hello? |
 |
A
smile beams across the face - it's the Agent calling...
ACTOR (con't)
I have an Audition tomorrow - excellent!
Okay...can you
HOLD ON a moment?
I have to get my LOG... |
 |
The
Actor confidently reaches for the Holdon
Log on the coffee table...and writes down
all the important details...
FADE
OUT
===========================================
