Audition today at 3:40 for a touring company. Tomorrow is an acting intensive at the School for Film and TV. Playing pool with C2K tomorrow night to celebrate his birthday. Halloween was busy and fun, I dressed up as a guido. Yes I know, not a far stretch..
Hi Mom
Happy Halloween all. Still recovering from this weekend,packed with some excellent parties. Played some football on Sunday suffering from a very close game in which we….lost. But it was a great time no less.
In other news, I heard from a few long lost friends from high school recently, including the illustrious Martha who is getting both married and finishing a degree in medicine this coming year. More pregnancies abound back in Endwell, 3 friends are carrying as we speak. I can’t handle it…
Recently received my new color headshots and in commeration I executed a mailing to agents that I am now courting. I will soon be adding a scene from my last short film to my reel and will be mailing postcards and auditioning on a regular basis.
I just signed up for a day long acting intensive coming on November 5th which I am looking forward too.
In addition my main acting teacher here in the city Becky London was cast in a film for 5 weeks out in Europe and I was lucky enough to have a 1hr documentary on the subject of her upcoming film that I lent to her. It is always enjoyable being helpful.
Hello darkness, my old friend
Wow its been forever since my last post. Longer than even usual. After turning 26, things have certainly picked up. We threw a very successful combined birthday with my roommate Steve which raged till 4am when we started throwing people out physically. Not really, they left on their own accord but it was an excellent time. I have been very busy working promotions for uncle Jack Morton part of the Interpublic group. Sadly they just lost the Bank of America account, their most lucrative, so we might be slowing down, alas. Although there is still, Nokia, Nintendo and various other companies in need of perky street teams made up of desperate actors.
Not that I am one actually… I have been active in my new acting class and am putting up a short scene at a scene night on Sunday the 23 at the Kraine Theatre. I just got my reproduced headshots back from reproductions and am looking forward to send out my new color pictures to agents and casting directors alike.
I am heading upstate today for the 3rd or 4th time this fall. I have a wedding tomorrow in which I am doing a reading. Previously I had gone up for my seasonal ritual of apple picking and mountain biking. Both activities I enjoy immensely.
I am back at school for my first time this year substituting but wont be back for antother week due to more promotional work. I can’t complain though it pays much better and is a whole lot easier.
You can find me now as well on the goliath personal homepage site MYSPACE also on Friendster, but these computers at school will not allow me to connect. Another time I suppose.
Ahh…so this is what 26 feels like. I was ready for it, bring it on. Gonna be a big year…I can feel it.
Worked 3 days last week on the Sopranos with Steve Buscemi directing. The full cast was on set which was a welcome surprise.
My new headshots are here and I am choosing between them to find out which ones to use. You can see them HERE
Went on a go-see for a Zappos print ad this afternoon.
Also in rehearsals for Searching for Holes in the Ceiling going up in mid September. Stay tuned for details.
Participated in a very successful cabaret fundraiser for StreetLight Ensemble last Friday and the Friday previous to that. We sold out and I managed to sing like I knew what I was doing. Although I have much more respect for those legit musical theatre actors.
Stay tuned for more frequent updates upon my return from Tampa, Fl this coming Monday.
Welcome to all those from the Sopranos shoot this past week. Sorry to have not made it back for today and tomorrow (my call number was too high and they didn’t need us it seems) But I was able to attend a go-see for a print ad, which was fortunate.
To everyone else, the Sopranos shoot that I was an extra on this past week went very well, much better than I expected actually. Most of the time its tedious, hot (or cold), and wholly not worth it. But this experience turned out to be much better, thanks to a bunch of cool people who were on the set with me. Often you find one of two kinds of people at extra shoots. Either frustrated, bitter actors trying to make an extra buck, or celebrity seekers who hope to catch a glimpse or a second on screen. Instead of that I found some seriously interesting and funny people with whom I shared the long hours that stretched into the nights. As a testament to their ability to keep me laughing and conscious, I completed none of the reading that I brought, which is probably the biggest compliment I can give considering that is my default activity to which I turn when I am the least bit understimulated. Hopefully the ones that are left felt the hours fly by for these last 2 days. Steve Buscemi was directing and the entire cast was there so that was a bonus, a good time overall.
In other news, I’ll still be heading to Tampa this coming Thursday morning to see the other members of the Fairchild group. I’ll be headed back Monday of next week unless I have to shoot for the print ad, in which case I’ll have to try to get a flight on Sunday. My headshots are completed, and the arduous (and painful) process of choosing which ones to touch up and use has come. You can check out the finalists here
Let me know what you think.
In rehearsals for Searching for Holes in the Ceiling with Streetlight. Working on the second draft of West 4th Purgatory and renewing my search for agents. Check back from time to time for updates.
Oh, here is a link to my Flickr page, check out some choice shots…I’ll add this as a link up top soon!

In other news the website for The Streetlight Ensembleis nowup and running. This is a small company of actors that I recently joined. We are putting up a cabaret at Don’t Tell Mama’s on July 22 at 9pm and again on July 27 at 7pm. I will actually be singing, which is always an amusing time. They are already taking reservations, so get your tickets soon. The company is also putting up a new work, NEURASTHENIA, in Sepetember. We will be casting that this coming weekend.
I am also pushing through the last stages of my play and am attempting to get it done by July 12th. More updates to follow.
