RONAN BARBOUR Crabgrass It never really occurred to me that I could wake up one day and not like the way this story was going, that I might not be able to find the time to change it. I guess I always thought it would end like a highly touching and satisfying movie and when the credits rolled I would know all the names even those that were dicks to work with well now it would all be over and what was left of me in soul would have to smile thinking it all worked out in the grand shape in the end. But now I wake up sometimes in the middle of the night or early morning and I wonder with panic murmuring my heart how I could suddenly find myself trapped in a role I no longer know, trapped in a plot where I don't trust the author anymore after some obscene twists. Not that I'm ready to quit it just yet you know I've worked too hard to get this far into the story and even if it's starting to get kind of slow the work of this role is really all that I know. And I guess I'm still blessed to be able to play the part even if it's not at all what I expected it is good to be working, after all while there are so many replacements waiting in the wings. Ronan Barbour was born in Canada to an Irish Mother and Canadan father and moved to the U.S. when he was nearly five. He currently lives in Los Angeles, California. |
