After much success and disappointment from hosting live talk shows in his hometown Tampa, FL, this seeker relocated to Los Angeles, CA on September 19, 2010 to begin an epic journey that does not consist of a plan B. Virtually unknown in the entertainment industry, this brave man is in pursuit of one goal & purpose; to become a nationally syndicated late night talk show host. This is the quest of Motown Maurice. Remember his name, for he is The Future of Late Night Television.
Wardrobe:UPSCALE CASUAL TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION. TALENT SHOULD BE WILLING TO LET FANTASTIC SAM'S TRIM/HIGHLIGHT (OR LOWLIGHT) AND SHAPE HAIR PRIOR TO SHOOT.
As you can see, I did not fit the wardrobe.

* Sent in an audition video for to Fuse Message Casting. Related video coming soon.
* A video that my previous roommate Raewyn Bailey and I put together for The Amazing Race last year was noticed by a casting director on youtube today. They are considering us for a new reality adventure show, NBC Bear Show. How amazing is that? That video has been up for over a year and barely has 250 views and look what it lead to. A few days later I told someone how many views it has and they said, "It only takes one view." There is not telling if they are going to select us but its great to know, they video was noticed.
* (2) New Audition Notices.
* I finally figured out how to tether phone phone today. Perfect timing pure genius.

This all starting the early morning of Tuesday, November 13, 2012. A telemarketer left a message, I checked my message and realized and had more than one message waiting for me. For some reason my message indicator wasn't indicating.
I called and apologized to the casting for the delayed response.
To make a long story short, they pitched me a music show and they asked me if I wanted to make a announcement a message to a special person with a choice of song. Ultimately they would make a youtube flash mob type video. Within a couple days, I pitched my story pitch in video form. Some were too long so I had to do multiple takes.

Final Thoughts
Songs of choice was, Personality by Lloyd Price, I want to be your love by Prince and Jamming by Bob Marley.
In multiple conversations with casting we confirmed that I'll have a better chance being selected if my message to my person of choice was to ask her to be my girl friend. It was hard for me to agree but I was being to convenience myself.
I'm sure they liked me and I did a good job but I'm sure my name had something to do with why they didn't choose me.
