A big shout out to all my peeps. In the first few months of my life, I have decided to put it all on the line. I want to make it on the Big Screen. Hollywood Baby!
So far, things have been a little slow but I have landed a few small parts. Here is a recap.
First was a brief appearance in Friday the 13th. “Kai, is that the boogie man?”
Then I played a convicted felon in Law and Order. “Listen, I am innocent. Can I go now?”
Here is one of those crazy Sesame Street skits.
I had an entire series with the Discovery Channel.
Here are a few shots in the Amazon jungle. “Don’t look now but you have a huge spider on your neck!”
“Ahhh, the rare but amusing parakeet”
Then on to the Kalahari Desert. “It looks like the tranquilizers have finally kicked in with the lions. Any volunteers to make the first move?”
“I am not sure we have large enough tranquilizers for these guys”
“This is no Tigger...”
“…and this is no Curious George”
Marshall made me a fantastic chair while I am resting off set. “Once I finish my formula I will be ready for my afternoon foot massage guys.”
Daddy and I both got a part with Sleepy’s, The Mattress Professionals.
Here I am auditioning for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. “And we whissle while we work. Doo-dee-doo, doot, doo, doot, doo.”
I did a small modeling gig for Ralph Lauren.
As well as a shot for Fitness Magazine, “I have been on a 100% carb diet since February and look at these results.”
Here I am auditioning for a seat in the next Comedy Central Presents:
A woman got on a bus holding a baby. The bus driver looked at the child and blurted out, "That's the ugliest baby I've ever seen!" Infuriated, the woman slammed her fare into the fare box and took an aisle seat near the rear of the bus. The man seated next to her sensed that she was agitated and asked her what was wrong. "The bus driver insulted me," she fumed.
The man sympathized and said, "Why, he shouldn't say things to insult passengers. He could be fired for that."
"You're right," she said. "I think I'll go back up there and give him a piece of my mind!"
"That's a good idea," the man said. "Here, let me hold your monkey."
Here I am preparing for an episode of Survivorman. “Are those really polar bears that I hear outside?”
I did get a small part in Rambo, “Hit the ground folks. That is enemy fire we are hearing.”
When fame first kicks in, getting recognized on the street is great. However, it eventually becomes a burden. Thank goodness for my bodyguard, Uncle Pete.
I did do a cameo in Aladdin. “Quick, to the camels!”
Here is my small part in Dead Poet’s Society.
There is one thing I love to do to take my mind off the grind. Spend time with family.
Here I am with Great Grandma and Great Auntie Mari. She came all the way to visit from Florida!
I met my Great Auntie Anita for the first time.
My friend Hayden visited me too. Here is a picture of me and Hayden’s dad, Mike.
My babysitter Rachel takes such good care of me. She is very cuddly and knows how to tuck me in the best for bed.
Grandparents. Ahh, they just spoil you, yah know.
Here I am all dressed up with Mommy and Daddy
Of course, how can you really make it on the big screen without a Hollywood mom. Here we are in Boston Common for Mother’s Day
…and in the Southwick zoo for Mommy’s birthday
I love spending time with Mommy. She takes such good care of me.
She pushes me in my swing and makes me laugh.
OK. Signing off. This is me just being cute.
Love,
Zane
P.S. If you have not seen enough, here are some more photos:
Hello Folks. My name is Zane Lander Roberge. I am 8lbs, 8 ounces, and 20 inches long. I am a very relaxed, quiet, and curious man. I LOVE to sleep and get cold easy. Pacifiers relax me but I hate the taste of plastic when it first goes into my mouth. You know what I mean?
I am named after a little boy my parents met on Goose Rocks Beach, the beach that Daddy proposed to Mommy on (I know, Daddy always seems to be making proposals). My middle name is after my great-great grandfather, who was a pretty famous pioneer in the West. Ironically, the well known Western author, Zane Grey, featured my great-grandfather in one of his novels. That’s two ways to get to Zane Lander. Weird, right?
I need to update you all on the last few months. My journey started 9 months ago when I was in pursuit of my long-lost brother, Kai. Little did I know that I found myself in Mommy’s belly.
Now, I know my brother’s scent from anywhere and I knew he had been here not long before me. However, after checking every nook and cranny, he was nowhere to be found.
Everything changed around 1:30 PM on February 19, when I got a huge break in the investigation. A light appeared at the end of a tunnel that I had explored previously. I hurried toward it and at 4:43 PM, I found my family! I knew my reunion with Kai was coming soon.
First, I met my Mommy and Daddy. "I love you Mommy. Thanks so much for making me so healthy. Have you seen Kai?", I said.
"You’re welcome my little Zane", said Mommy. "Kai will be here soon and cannot wait to see you".
Then I met my Mimi, who was there to greet me into the world. She told me all about the fun things we will do together and told me Kai would be here soon.
Then I met my Tia Heather. She could not believe that I came so quick, and was expecting to help Mommy through labor. She held me tight and told me about my cousin Brooke. She had not seen Kai.
Then I met my GramE and Grampa. GramE sang me nice songs and Grampa let me play with his mustache. Grampa said he saw Kai just before me, but did not know where he went.
Finally the next day, big brother Kai showed up. "Hello Big Little Man", he said. "We have so much to catch up on." And we played the rest of the day in the hospital. He knew all the nurses and found a package of Giorgio Armani diapers for me. How can I ever go back to Huggies?
I returned home the next day. We had a nice family weekend together and I got to practice many new things. First, I stretched out.
Then, I spoke into a pretend microphone and waved to the crowd.
Then I did some dancing with Daddy.
Then Kai showed me his rattle.
Then I practiced my "YUCKIE" face.
Then I did some boxing.
Kai even had a chance to work on his babysitting skills. At this pace, it looks like I may be doing the babysitting around here.
Anyway, I am SO glad I finally found him. I do not know about you, but I am pooped.
Love,
Zane
