Above: Casey McKinnon’s IMDb profile

It may not look like much at this point, but it will grow in time. After all the research I did for my third Guardian article, I know that the more web series are added to IMDb, the meatier my profile will become. And with all the financing that Hollywood studios are throwing into internet videos, it shouldn’t take long.

On a side note, I have to feel proud. There aren’t many people who’ve transitioned from new to old media… if you sit and think about it a few minutes, most people who’ve “transitioned” actually started out in old media and used new media to get ahead in their careers. Most new media people on IMDb actually have credits from work that predates their internet series… Rudy and I are one of the few who truly started their entertainment career online.

We launched a new web site design this weekend, so if you’re reading this on your feeds you might want to come check it out.

It’s part of an effort to focus more on my acting career, so I’ve added pages with my resume, photo shoots, notable press, video reels, and links to my work and some of my best friends on the web.

My favorite features of the redesign are the sexy font (Countdown - Energy Corporation’s font in the original Rollerball), the random tagline generator on the upper right and, of course, the epic background photo by Vu Bui.

When I was in Toronto last August, I was shot for a guest taster spot on Pro at Cooking, the new series from the creators of Pure Pwnage. Episode 2 (embedded above) came out today.

Over the past month and a half I’ve been looking for the perfect opportunity. Something that will satisfy my inner-geek and further my growing career. By attending meetings and pitching networks, I’ve realized something. I don’t want to be the next Amanda Congdon or Ze Frank, I want to be the next Audrey Hepburn… the next Fred Astaire… the next all-around talented individual.

If I’m not making you laugh or cry, I’m not doing what I truly desire.

When I was a little girl and my mother would tell me to go to bed because she noticed I was tired, I would pretend to be wide awake. Seeing through my scheme time and time again, she called me an actress.

Growing up, I played many parts… I was an alternative kid, a punk rocker, a tough martial artist, and a diplomat. I loved every role. But when I started Galacticast with Rudy, I gave myself the opportunity to be the real me… a chameleon.

Rudy and I have been watching so many classic movies recently, and I’ve discovered something I was missing. Emotion. Movies complete me emotionally… and if they don’t make me laugh or cry, they are a waste of my time.

My mission is to bring emotion to you… whether it be guest starring on Galacticast and making you lol, or starring in the next Audrey Hepburn tragic romance that makes you cry like a baby.

That is what I aspire to be. Wish me luck on getting there.

When in Toronto a couple of months ago, Rudy and I had the honor of shooting a scene with the Campagna Brothers for their new independent film Six Reasons Why. Here is the recent trailer:

The film is currently “for sale” and Matt and Jeff Campagna are looking for buyers. I encourage you to spread the word… these boys are going somewhere.
