THIS IS FROM LIZ MEYERS ADDINGTON. SENT SOMETIME DURING OR SHORTLY AFTER KATRINA..........Greetings from the addington family. We are outside of Houston with Kevin and Sarah harrison. We are alive and well. We road the storm out in our home in Louisiana. We boarded up. Our house is fine just tons of trees down and it was very hard to get out of there. The down power line in our driveway and the gas leak next door made us leave. My grandmother did die during the storm. She was sick and couldnt leave. She died while they were evacuating her. So needless to say i am happy to be alive. Hope all is well with all of you.P.S. Our clinic didn't withstand any damage just no electricity or water.God Bless.Liz Addington-----------------------------------------------------------------

As the hurricane was going on, my career seems to have made a slight turn. I didn't want to really tell anyone because it is so much less significant than the disaster. Now that I've seen the post...I feel better.

SO...two weeks ago I filmed my first episode of LAW AND ORDER. I played a Jewish boy in a synagogue...praying. No lines...but it's a step. During that same week I was doing extensive callbacks for an independent film SPECIAL NEEDS. I started rehearsals and begin filming on Sunday. Thrilled. The script is great. Decent budget.

It is a mockumentary about a reality tv show that pits handicapped people against each other in a talent contest. I play the line producer obsessed with the creator of the show. It's a great comedy that is meant to criticize the exploitation of reality television. We shall see.

OK...that's it.
