This gig filmed in the Chicago area in June. It was an exciting gig, because it was bilingual. I didn't think that my Spanish was good enough for a bilingual gig, but they booked me.

Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is much more common in fair skinned people, especially with blue eyes. I was chosen for this ad, because they felt I looked like an AMD patient.
My mom did, in fact, have this condition. I've been told I look like her. My poor mother had AMD, cataracts, glaucoma, and herpes in the eye. I'm hoping that the brown eyes I inherited from my father will protect me from some of this. She had blue eyes.
I learned from this ad that AMD is much more treatable than it used to be -- with injections into the eyeball. While that doesn't sound so great, the ad emphasizes that it isn't as bad as you think.
The actress for the main character told me that she was particularly interested in this ad, because several of her family members suffered from retinal disease.
This ad was filmed in the Chicago suburbs. I was out there for a personal trip and was able to combine the filming. Here's the blog about the trip June Car Camping Trip .
I am not fluent in Spanish, but I was able to rehearse the Spanish lines driving out to the site. My pronunciation is good, but I found that the muscles of my face needed a workout to be able to form the words properly, especially since it was medical terminology. My scene partner, who is a native speaker of Spanish, was very complimentary of my delivery.
