So, my agent, Sohl,  calls me about this audition where they want real dads and sons - would I want to bring Ethan in to audition with me?  “No, we’re not really gonna do that, unless he wants to do it himself when he gets older.”  Sohl says, “No pressure, but just think about this:  You’re going to audition with some other kid that’s not your son, you’re going to go into the callback with some other kid who’s not your son, and then, if you get the job, you’re going to shoot a commercial with some kid who’s not your son...all the while, you’re pretending to be his dad and have this great relationship with him.  Why not go in with Ethan and have it be natural?”  After my wife and I talked about it, Ethan and I were on a 3 day trip up to Santa Rosa,CA where we just played on a farm, swam in the hotel pool, and had breakfast for dinner.  Ethan got to hold baby chicks, pet llamas and sheep, and have a great time “working” with his dad.  Oh yeah, they paid us too.  Nice.
