3/4 of the Hot Rod House

And it’s September. We had a fantastic birthday party for a bunch of friends late last month, where we rented out the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs and had everyone dress up like we were in the sixties…it was pretty awesome. You can see the shots here and here.

Things have been very interesting as of late. The trailer for an indie film, Screwed, I did earlier this year is out--you can check it out here. I also just found out about a very cool project that I will be filming next week that I can’t talk too much about, but I couldn’t be more excited about it--it’s gonna be a fantastic addition to my reel and should, hopefully, be helpful for my agents as they look at projects for me.

As usual, I have been really busy at work, trying to get some products out the door (you’ll be seeing them on the shelves and online in a few weeks) and continue to write for iFanboy.com. My most recent piece on digital comics was pretty well received and we had quite a few comments--if you are a comic book fan, this has to be the most exciting (and scary?) time in recent memory, with DC not only resetting all of their titles, but releasing them in digital format on the same day they are sold in stores.

Oh, and you might see me in a recent Charter Communications commercial called Christmas in September. Once I get a copy of it, I will post it here.

I have been trying a few things with my personal appearance as of late. It’s strange to see how very simple changes can really change the way people interact with you. Take, for instance, my beard. I can grow a pretty decent one in about 2 weeks, as evidenced by this picture, which I took last night as a I kind of audition for the short I am going to be filming next week (I had to add the glasses for the shot as well):

Crazily enough, the glasses kind of work with the beard, which I did not expect. The beard is good and I worked with Kelly to take a few shots for my agents to use (check the headshots section of the site to see them), and the response has been really positive. It’s kind of fun; it adds a different “voice” to what I bring, and I think should be helpful when I audition for more serious parts.


I have also noticed that when I wear a tie and a jacket, people totally treat you differently. I mean, this is nothing new, but wow, do I wish I had caught that earlier – it’s very useful!

Yikes, these updates can sound vapid. It’s fine — life is good.

Hang in there!
