Twentieth Century Fox Film

28 January 2010

Today, I receieved a check from Twentieth Century Fox Film for my work on 24. Base pay, a little extra for overtime, a little something for a trip to get fitted in wardrobe. Thank you, 20th Century Fox!

The shoot went well. I had fun. Cast and crew were lovely and personable. Quite a day last week! Lots of people … too many to remember them all, and I don’t want to mention anybody by name here, though I can think of at least 20 off the top of my head I hope to work with again. Okay, more than that. All good. All.

Look for me on May 3, 2010. If that air date changes, I’ll let you know, but it’s what IMDb has for Episode 20. Is that sweeps?

I booked a role on 24, the well-known Fox drama with a never-changing number of episodes from season to season. Many thanks to Peggy & Debi and Michael & Brad!

But I play one on TV

19 November 2009

Tomorrow I will be shooting an episode of Your Kid Ate What?, a TLC show about kids that eat things they shouldn’t eat. Parents everywhere relate instantly to the title, right? I play a radiologist marveling at what the kid ate.

I got the gig through Morman Boling Casting. Good people there, but I hear it as Mormon Bowling Casting, of course, and I wonder if they realize that bowling is very popular amongst Mormons?!

Rocking with The Kinks

2 November 2009

Ray Davies is touring the US for his new album, The Kinks Choral Collection, and as the name of the album suggests, he’s performing with choruses. When he comes to Los Angeles, I’ll be singing in the chorus!

From what I can tell, he’s reworked pretty much all the Kinks songs I know, except that famous one with the spelling in it. The gig is with a group called Vox Society, and we perform November 14 at the Orpheum … or at the Wiltern. More details soon.

This will be my first choral singing since moving to LA, so I’m pretty excited. I’ve sung in choruses everywhere I’ve lived, and I’d been missing that here. Until now.

UPDATE: The show is at the Orpheum, despite some listings out there that say it’s at the Wiltern. Here are two pertinent sites. Tickets are $40 or $50.

Curse of the Duck Hunt Dog

27 October 2009

For all you fans of R-rated web comedies referencing old video games, check out Curse of the Duck Hunt Dog (also available on Cracked.com).

I appear briefly about 2 minutes into it. Hardy har har! Good times — and awkward, trust me — making this short! Thanks to Jacob, Justin, Jennifer and all for that!

Native Voices at the Autry

30 August 2009

I’m very pleased to say that on Wednesday night, September 2nd, I am participating in a professional reading of a new script by Marie Clements. It’s being produced by Native Voices, an arm of the Autry Museum dedicated to developing stage works by Native American playwrights. I play a doctor who does bad things, so it’s a role that’s pretty much perfect for me.

For more information on the play and the playwright, read their blog post about it, Celebrating ten years with a beloved friend, or see the event on Facebook.

Attendance is free of charge.

Shot a funny thing yesterday

16 August 2009

The funny thing is, sometimes you have a feeling a role is going to happen. On Wednesday, I submitted myself for a role after the deadline, but it had my name written all over it in terms of my type or my brand, so it didn’t surprise me too much when they called me up because their first round of auditions hadn’t produced the actor they were looking for.

Then my audition went fine on Thursday and it didn’t surprise me too much when they offered me the role that evening, even though all the other guys there looked more like the part than I did.

Then yesterday we shot this little funny thing, and it didn’t surprise me that my scene partners were brilliantly funny and the lighting and camera work and everything was all good, and we all laughed, and it took less time than they had allowed for.

Sometimes you have a feeling.

This brief webisode thingy will be up on the web someday soon, and I’ll say no more till then except, “Thanks, Jacob and Justin and Jennifer and Marty and everybody!”

Commercial representation

13 July 2009

KSR GOOD NEWS. I am very happy to say that I now have an awesome commercial agency representing me: Kazarian/Spencer/Ruskin & Associates, often referred to simply as “KSR.”

They’re a great agency, I like Samantha and Alicia (and I’m sure I’ll like Brooke when she returns), and I look forward to a fantastic working relationship with all of them. In a word, “Yay!”
