For those of you that access my blog without going to my official website first (and no matter how you access it, I appreciate it!), then you may not know about the campaign I started at the beginning of this year.

Growing up, I was obsessed with watching “Three Men and a Baby” and “Three Men and a Little Lady” over and over again with my sister.  As a little kid (and even now), I just thought they were the most heart-warming, funny movies.  I always thought I resembled the actress that played Mary in the second film, and from then on, I had this weird feeling that if they ever made a third installment, I was going to have to find a way to be in it.  Now at the time, this did not seem feasible at all considering I was possibly the shyest kid on the face of the earth.  Funny how things change and life leads you to unexpected places.

As you know by now, I became an actor and a writer.  I was always creative growing up, but I thought I’d use my creative intuition to become an interior designer–not an actor or a writer.  After all, I had seen and read enough to decide that ‘those people were nuts!’  Good to know I stuck to my convictions.

And now, here we are.  In November 2009, Steve Guttenberg announced that indeed, a third installment of  ”Three Men and a . . . ” was going to be made, and this time in the form of “Three Men and a Bride.”  Those five words were all it took for me to know that I was going to do whatever it took to get that role.  (As to why I want/wanted it so bad, go to www.JessicaRadloff.com and click on the campaign link where I give a full explanation).  This was not going to be easy by any means, but then again, when have the best things in life come easy?

I started a campaign (accessed by my website above) and a Facebook Fan Page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cast-Jessica-Radloff-as-Mary-in-Three-Men-a-Bride/231366938946?ref=nf) to help get the word out.  Apparently when you’re not repped by CAA or William Morris Endeavor, it’s a hell of a lot harder for a movie studio (in this case, Disney/Touchstone) to want to see you.  So just like anything in life, I decided, ‘you know, let’s give this a try.  Even if it doesn’t work out the way I’d love it to, at least I know I gave it my best shot.’  After all, that’s really all we can hope to do in life.

I am BEYOND fortunate that I have the capabilities and money (thank you Dad for teaching me how to invest) to launch this campaign for my dream role.  But I know many others aren’t so lucky.  A dream is just that–a dream.  For so many, it never becomes reality.  And in my case, who knows if it will either.  But at least I know I’ll go down swinging.  That’s why I have decided that for every person that becomes a fan on my Facebook Fan Page to cast me in the movie, I will donate $.50 to my favorite children’s charity that raises money to fulfill their dreams & wishes (for legal reasons, I can’t actually list the name of the charity, but it rhymes with Bake-A-Fish, lol).  I will do this for as long as I monetarily can, and I hope you will support me in my endeavor.

Once again, here is the Facebook Fan Page link to join: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cast-Jessica-Radloff-as-Mary-in-Three-Men-a-Bride/231366938946?ref=nf

Don’t Stop Believin’!
