Charter commercial

I recently shot my first commercial, a Charter Cable spot called “Moving In.” If you live in a Charter service area, look for it soon.

I’m the first guy out of the truck. I started out carrying cat videos but they’ll probably go with Madmen season two instead. Or they may change it in post to something else entirely.

I’m also the guy carrying the chicken recipe bookmarks but my face is obscured but the size of the box.

Silent Roar closed

Oodles and oodles of thanks to the large, hardworking cast and crew of “Silent Roar” for everything they did to make our short run such an amazing success. It was an amazing show and I am so happy and so lucky to have been a part of it.

Thanks also to everyone who came out to see us.

If you didn’t see it, Angela Gomez wrote an wonderful review at Socal.com. I think she did a great job capturing the essence of the show.

Richard III with Shakespeare at Play

I played Brackenbury along with a few other characters in Shakespeare at Play’s Richard III August 15 and 16, 2009 in the park at the Buena Vista library in Burbank.

If you were there you were part of a very special outdoor theater experience and I thank you.

If you weren’t there you can live vicariously through Brian McGackin’s account in the Burbank Leader.

Hopefully some pictures will be forthcoming.

Project: Life on YouTube

I’ve already talked about how much I love this film, but it hasn’t been widely screened until now. Now you can watch “Project: Life” on YouTube. (second half)

As the narrator, I’m obviously biased but I think you’ll love it. If you don’t want to commit a whole fifteen minutes without knowing what you are getting into, here’s the sixty-second trailer.
