I’m on a “book tour” and it started in Denver with an appearance on the morning show (link to this appearance soon) and took me to talks at the University of Denver and Colorado University at Boulder. What a great setting to be an artist and learn about what makes you tick. I was invited … Read more
I auditioned for the new Will Smith movie. I read for a part that was one scene but it was funny and was just me and Will Smith. Nice, but certainly not a lead part like I started may career with, but still, a nice scene in a big movie. I get a call back … Read more
Don’t get scared I’m not going to blog a movie review here. I’m just going to point out how In Bruges is gold to the artist who’s looking to tell stories their own way. American studio movies all follow their winning (money making) formula. The spine of every studio movie is about the same depending … Read more

You would think that with the ability to read others thoughts we’d realize that we’re all about the same in our insecurity. But, there is this thing with actors where we rate each other’s value on … Read more
What is the issue with calling everyone an actor? The SAG awards are now best male and female actor, not actor and actress. Why? What is the issue with the term actress? How is that sexist or degrading enough for actresses to actually speak out about it? There is a waiter and waitress, there is … Read more
Please don’t believe the hype. Don’t get caught up in the thought that Oscar proves one actor right and the losers wrong. If you ever read the history of the Oscars you’d see they’re borne of a need to stroke actors so as not to pay them more. They are all about hyping the hype. … Read more
