Parrett cannot reveal the results of his audition. “Tune in Feb. 5 immediately after the Super Bowl to see how I did,” Parrett said. That is all Parrett can say about the show. Since graduation, Parrett, the son of Janie and Kim Par- rett, has lived in Los Angeles. “Moving to Los Angeles for me has been a series of chal- lenges and fantastic experi- ences,” he said. “When I think back on just the few short years I have called California my home, it feels like decades. There have been some really hard times, but inversely I feel privileged to have met talented people, culture, music, food ... it’s difficult not to soak in the wealth of diversity.” Parrett attended the Ameri- can Musical and Dramatic Academy, which is an arts conservatory. “The Academy was an in- tense musical theatre program with 40-hour-a-week class schedules, nightly rehearsals and endless memorizing,” he said. To pay the bills, Parrett has held odd jobs. “I have worked for a Co- lumbian designer, an organic grocery store and as a per- sonal assistant to the CEO of a political business and consult- ing firm,” he said. During the past three years he has been a private swim instructor in Beverly Hills at the Lenny Krayzelburg Swim Academy. “I am teaching children as young as 4 months to 12 years old how to back-float to sur- vive and then teaching them 20 years experience in giving personal attention to customers the four (basic) strokes to ‘crank out little swimmers.’” Parrett said his first few years had been occupied with AIR RESCUE acting classes at the arts acad- emy. “I then began playing the audition game and endlessly updating headshots and dodg- ing scams like bullets,” he 843-251-7103A Division of TP Services • 6-6 Mon. - Sat. for your convenience said. “There were lots of call- 4A - The News Reporter, Monday, January 23, 2012 Crime briefs Burglary Tef Latonya Yvette McMillian !

Lily Anna made her en- trance into the world on Dec. 2 at 12:53 a.m. in New Hanover Regional Medical Center’s Women’s and Children’s Hospi- tal. She weighed in at 8 pounds 3 ounces and was 22 inches long. Her U.S. Marine daddy, LCP James Hardin, was serv- ing in Afghanistan but he was able to witness her birth by way of Skype, an Internet source that can record and broadcast events worldwide on the computer.
