Introduce Yourself : Fortunate and certainly BLESSED in every possibe way by Robert Catrini

Hello, to everyone on here. I'm Robert Catrini. I'm not real big on PR that much. Well, PERSONALLY handling PR. Not my thing. There are other TEAM members who handle that. I've pretty much just always let the resumé and Demo Reel speak for themselves. And over the past 28 years in SAG, that's proven time and time again to be all that's been necessary. When I get an audition I NEVER post anywhere about it. And there are VERY professional reasons I don't. When I book a job I NEVER post anything on social media, so no one will ever see one of those ubiquitously displayed "BOOKED IT" signs on any of my media pages. Never gonna happen. Professional reasons for that, too. If anything, a photo on location or at a studio might give a clue, but...that's about it. Once the series or film DROPS? Completely different story. On occasion, OUT of my control, the media has let things slip. A DEADLINE headline that surprised even me...when I was brought onboard JACK REACHER. I got the call that morning from my agent asking me if I'd seen it. Had no idea what he was talking about. And the free PR from something like that is amazing. So...there's all of that. So this Introduce Yourself thing that pops up occasionally is...interesting. I've done it a few times on here, not always, just every now and then from my recollection. So here it is again today. And truth be told, couldn't have come at a more fortuitous time. A few years ago when I Guest Starred on NCIS, it was Director Dennis Smith's 50th directorial effort on that series. It just so happened, that SAME episode was MY 50th Guest Star role on network and cable. At the end of the shoot, Dennis and I took a photo; him holding up 5 fingers and me making a "zero" with my hand (like the 'OK' gesture). We held up "50th", a milestone for both of us; him as a director on that series, me for yet another milestone in the career. I booked quite a bit after that; most notable after several Paramount studio trips to New Orleans to keep passing muster and then another final "meet-and-greet" trip (before the additional trips to NOLA to actually shoot) to meet Tom and getting signed off on me playing Col. Moorcroft alongside him in JACK REACHER: NEVER GO BACK. Then a myriad of multiple additional series and films, a few for Ryan Murphy, a few for Seth Rogen, including playing Gotham Crime Boss Stefano Gallante in WB's Harley Quinn blockbuster "BIRDS OF PREY." So why is that "50th" thing interesting. Because Producers invited me to a ZOOM meeting this past Wednesday at 4pm. By 6pm I landed another Top-of-Show Guest Star on NCIS. My 60th Guest Star role on network and cable. The Casting Director, Jason Kennedy, has known me for 28 years from when we were both back east before coming to LA. I thank him for thinking of me for this role and inviting me to sit in. I thank the Producers who've been SO supportive. And I WILL thank this episode's Director, James Whitmore Jr. when I get on set next week. And hopefully he'll agree to another photo I'd like to have...if he doesn't mind holding up SIX fingers. NCIS; responsible for both 50th AND 60th. Go figure. And so it goes. imdb.me/robertcatrini
