イメージチェンジ？／Time for a New Look?
母の日おめでとうございます。今朝は起きったらすぐ母に電話をかけました。ちょっと半分惚けてたから、もう少し待ってても良かったかもしれません。
今回のお化けのような写真は数週間前の自分です。見ての通り、髪の毛が大分伸びてきました。日本にいる間は基本的に仕事の為に切る必要があるまで、いつも伸ばしました。（すぐには伸ばせないけど、切るのはすぐできます。）でも必ず、吹き替えスタントか役の為に切る必要が年に何回もあって、そんなに長くなりませんでした。でも、アメリカに来てからは違いますよね。基本的には「今のまま」でキャスティングされてたから、切る必要がまったくありませんでした。そうしていつの間にか髪の毛がこんなに長くなっちゃいました。
今はまた去年にプロフィール写真を撮った時の長さに戻しました。やはりちょっと長めの髪の毛に髭ありの方が自分にあうと思います。勿論、役によってそのイメージを変えてもいいけど、ベースとして、自分はこんなキャラです。

Happy Mother's Day! The first thing that I did when I woke up this morning was give my mom a call. Then again, I was half asleep for the entire conversation, so maybe it would have been better to wait a little while before calling...
So the wonderfully monstrous picture above is of me a few weeks ago. As you can see, my hair had gotten a little bit on the long side. While I was in Japan, I generally would grow my hair out until I needed to cut it for work. (I figured it was easier to cut my hair at a moment's notice than to try to grow it out.) But then, there were always several times throughout a year that I would be called upon to either match my hair for stunt doubling or to cut it to suit a role. Since coming to America, though, things have been quite different. I have generally gotten cast "as is," and because of that never really had to chop any of my hair off. The next thing I know, I start to look like Cousin Itt.
Now I have my hair back to the way it was last year when I got my profile pictures taken. I think that the slightly longer hair with the moustache and goatee work for me. Of course, I don't mind changing things for a role if necessary, but for now, I think this is more of who I am.
