Becoming A Star
62Adrian Dent as Nathan Williams on Driven-The Series.
Becoming a Star has a Price!
Well I guess taking the time to write a little bit about myself. Many of you know as "Gossip Guy" or you may know as "Nathan Williams", but i'm here to fill you in on a few more details. I grew around the around the entertainment industry, so music, movies and anything dealing with the media runs in my blood. At the age of 10 I performed live with my mother Lea', and I saw the crowd and how much they were into the music, not to mention i was only. I performed live with my mother and i grew scared of crowds, for what reason i don't know. In 2006 i auditioned Disney's High School Musical at the playhouse on the square in Memphis,Tn, and I got the callback for the role of Chad Danforth. I missed my call-back because of a lack of transportation. At the time i was irresponsible so I never took the time to go and get a license. So other auditions came through and i missed alot of them, but that stop me. 2007 came around I started watching and studying a few actors, and in 2008 The High School Musical auditions came back around, and this time i got the role I wanted. So in 2009 I got the role of Chad Danforth again.Around that time I was full of Happiness I had gotten the chance to meet Corbin Bleu. Corbin Bleu plays the role of Chad in the Disney Original Movie. That was an experience for me. Now i was a Disney geek and tried out for Disneys Camp Rock, and Hannah Montana The Movie. I may not have gotten any part in those movies, but I decided to try something. In later 2008 I created a series called "Uncut" starring my good friend Curtis Dublin.The show didn't turn out the way i hoped, so i changed the name to Driven. Around the time I changed the name I had just finished my 3rd quarter at Itt-Technical Institute. I met tons of new people and built a new concept for my idea for Driven. Jeremy Jones, Curtis Dublin, Stephen Dorsey and Myself plinged into school fame for doing this new series, but the series died down due to scheduele conflicts. In early August of 2009 I was introduced to the great Dr.George Flinn. Dr.Flinn owns several radio stations and many other things. I was a huge fan of his station Q 107.5. I went to the premiere of the movie "Shorts" directed by Robert Rodriguez. The night of the premiere I met Heidi Shaffer she works for Dr.Flinn, and she overheard a conversation a friend and I were having about Driven. Mrs.Shaffer came to us and asked if we wanted to be on TV, and my answer had to be "heck yea", so Dr.Flinn brought us on his show and interviewed us on the new series I had created. That day i realized that i needed to get Driven off of the ground, and Ms.Partee one of my favorite teachers helped me get it on local television. The series died down again so few weeks later Dr.Flinn offers me a free-lancing job filming high school football games, and I even had the opurtunity to film Memphis' annual heathcare debate. September roles around and I meet Ricky Davison, at this were not close, so in the beginning of october I ask Ricky if he was interested in acting, and his response was "Hell Yea". Time came to film an actual pilot for the new revised series Driven and we come across Jeremy Tolbert a natural born gamer lol. Jeremy brought some great ideas to the table so i offered him the position of being Co-Director. Around that time we were looking for a evil vilian, and well we ran into Gene Broyls. Gene Broyls is known as "Spank E", . Gene is known comdeian and so accepted the role of "Cain". After that everything started to fall into place. I had a sucessful cast. Ricky introduced us to Taylor Raines who says "Driven is a badass show". From the support of Itt-Tech we crerated an empire around the school. Remington Wood and Candace Ward joined the cast in early 2010. Mid February i had run into some problems. I couldn't put my pride down for once,and be open to everyone elses opinion. I was on the edge, I was getting ready to lose Ricky and Jeremy. At that time i started going through depression, because there was so much I wanted for the show and dealing with other people around me. I stood up and I aplogized to everyone in my circle. We worked everything out, but even with that I was still miserable. I put on a front for everyone around claiming to be be happy, but I met this girl. I wasn't really sure if I should pursue her, so i let it go. Mr.Morton a criminal justice teacher brought the cast of Driven in his class to role play for a crime scene, not knowing that the girl i met a month ago was in his class. After seeing her in Mr.Mortons class I automatically got back on my A game. Driven had taken somewhat off, we had 4,000 viewers across the mid-south. I started writing better, and I got back into music and well everything was just going good, but one day I heard some bad news and brought me way down. I fell behind in school and God knows what else.I took my head out of the game, and the showed died down again. I used exuces around the school telling people why I hadn't been filming. Till this present time i have backed myself into a tight corner, and I have pushed my friends away, I mean they are still there, but not as close as we were. People gave us titles, I was Will Smith, Ricky was T.I and Jeremy was Adam Sandler, Tom Crusie and some other funny names. Now i'm stuck in a place and I'm trying to come out of my shell. Kat Mckenzie say" Adrian you are OCD, we need to devirginize you". When i heard Kat say that I laughed because I knew I still had friends who cared. Now i'm on my way to something great, all I need to do is stay Driven. So far on my journey I've met Disney's Zac Efron, Corbin Bleu,Gavin Degraw,Chad Michael Murray, David Henire from Wizards of Waverly Place,Drews Selley from another Cinderella with Selena Gomez, The Jonas Brothers,Miley Cyrus, and may others.This has been another "Gossip Guy" report and this time it was on me. also call my fan line 901-881-3276
