Updaaaaate!

Wowsa! I guess it's been over a month since I've posted anything. Okay, well here goes....

The two shows I am in, have been selling out each week, which is fantastic! We have moved the Dark Side of the Moon show to Wednesdays (starting tonight!) to help bring in more industry (i.e. - casting directors) and help get us cast in more work. The Vampire Masquerade show has had some industry sightings already, with the casting director for the sequel to Twilight scheduled to make an appearance. We have a website now, which has pictures, bio's, etc...

I have also recently went back to work doing the background circuit, which has helped put a little extra cash back in the pocket.

On Tuesday I played a neighbor in an upcoming NBC show called 'Cougartown' with Courtney Cox, which is the new project from 'Scrubs' creator Bill Lawrence, whom I think is really talented. This was a very easy day for me, as I would be playing a neighbor w/ a really "sweet-looking Jeep" so of course, I was right for the role...err...the Jeep was anyway, as that was all they used! No matter, I got to sit backstage (behind the house, poolside) with Courtney, while she read her lines getting into her "cougar-character" and I caught up on some reading of my own, though with one eye always on Courtney...just in case she decided to pounce on me. Raaaoww!

Then on Thursday I played a bartender for the upcoming HBO show called "Hung" which is (and follow me here) ...about a divorced basketball coach living in the Midwest, who realizes he could be doing much, much more...with his ehem...endowment, and finds himself in the porn industry. It stars Tom Jane and Anne Heche. The scene was at backyard bbq, in some mansion they rented for the 2 day shoot. It was a treat seeing "Bells Two Hearted Ale" (for those of you back home)...now, I am not sure about any prosthetics a la Mark Wahlberg in Boogie Nights, but at least they took the time to make sure the beer was authentic!

My HowCast.com video was picked up last month! This company out of NYC, which is sort of a AskJeeves.com site but with videos had expressed interest in our little project, and we went live with it recently. It was a non-paying job, but still good to have exposure and content for my reel.

Lastly, I just had a callback for a short film, playing a crooked Boston cop last week. I don't think I got the part, but it was good enough just to be called back, which means that my Boston accent doesn't entirely suck...accentuate the positive right?? :)

Say hi to your mutha for me, k?
