We three kings...

It's December already. It's been a slow season for me in the acting world that's for sure. But alas, a role to exercise my chops!


I got to perform in a great short sketch this past weekend. What Church Christmas celebration doesn't need a nativity type sketch? But this one wasn't your run of the mill cast of characters. I got to play a wise man (wise guy) with a Brooklyn accent. It was actually a hybrid of Sopranos, Godfather, and the Director said, "Mark Wahlberg-ish."

Improv and 4th grade girls



I was invited this week by a friend of mine to teach improv to a group of 4th grade girls. This group of girls were together for a week of "friendship camp" that included activities like crafts, book discussions, talent shows, etc and I showed up for two days of improv training. Quite the experiment in patience with short attention spans but fun nonetheless, and the money I received for these classes was donated to the Not For Sale campaign which is used to spread awareness and help the 27 million women and children enslaved in human trafficking.

Stanford Law School



For my 5th year in a row, I was a part of the International Association of Defense Counsel as a mock witness for their trial academy held at Stanford University. I've played a bus driver "accused" of negligent driving. It's a great test of improv abilities! It's a two day project used sharpen up and coming lawyers from all over the country. I have always enjoyed playing a testy witness, eating great Stanford food, and reconnecting with the other actors who have been doing it annually, too.

New shots by John Meyer

My favorite photographyer JOHN MEYER cranked out some new shots for me. I love his style! He's a dedicated, edgy, and creative photographer. I love shooting with him because I always have fun and like the end results!

June 2008



Today I was on UC Berkeley's campus for an AT&T photo shoot coming out in September.


It was 90 degrees and since the campaign is coming out in the fall we all had to be in pants and long sleeves for a football game.



I thought I was gonna sweat like a pig but since we didn't have to run around a lot, it was cool.

For one shot we just hovered over David, the photographer, in a huddle.



During hair and make-up we stayed in the AC of the trailer. It was nice.


Another fun shot came at the end when two of us had to try and take down another BIG guy.

All the crew and talent were awesome. I had a real fun time on this shoot. And UC Berkeley has a great campus.

April 2008

I am currently in Las Vegas working as the presenter for Microsoft at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) trade show.



Presenting new technology and solutions that meet the needs and opportunities of the media and entertainment industry has been awesome. There are some phenomenal advances in film making and broadcasting on the horizon.



And earlier this month I worked at the Moscone Center in
San Francisco for Identity Truth. A company concerned with preventing identity theft. I especially like the name of the company.



Their tagline was, "How is your "identity health? Do you need a check up?" (Hence the lab coat).

March 2008



I spent time doing some voiceover work with Crescendo Studios in San Francisco in preparation for Microsoft's new Media and Entertainment products to be rolled out next month in Las Vegas. Great studio and very helpful techies doing the sound board.

February 2008


I shot a Web commercial for Buzz! by Sony Playstation. I was made up to look like a cowboy ala Clint Eastwood (it took one hour of makeup). It was a great crew to work with and really fun shoot.
