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!

Demo reel now online

4 March 2009

At long last, my demo reel is viewable here on my site. View it from my acting resumé. Just click the link on the left-hand side under my headshot; my reel will be a small pop-up window from there.

You can also see it on Vimeo.

It’s a minute long, and shows a couple of the scenes from my work on Brotherhood, the Showtime drama filmed entirely in Rhode Island. Soon, I hope to add to my reel an excellent funny thing I shot recently, but for now it simply shows me in this well-made drama alongside Jason Isaacs and Kevin Chapman.

Note for the sensitive of ear: this reel has strong language. It’s Showtime, you know.

Ocean Shark

23 December 2008

Some weeks ago, I spent a lovely day in Malibu making a silly movie. A movie whose genesis was a discussion of redundant film titles amongst USC students. One of these funny guys, Chris Whetstone, turned that idea into a movie. We had a good laugh at the premiere, and now he’s put it up on the YouTube, so I’m happy to share it with you. I appear in the second scene, from 0:36 to 2:52, and again for a few seconds near the end. I’m especially proud of how I channel Horatio when I remove my shades. So sit back and enjoy silliness, clichés, parodies and a very frightful shark. youtube.com/watch?v=smJskrMZXAU

I think Michael Faulkner is particularly funny, and the talented actor playing Captain Vendetta — whose best line is the final moment of the film — is Marc Bossley, whom I ran into 3 times in one week, including the premiere. Small world, sometimes.

Sick

27 October 2008

A month ago — four weeks to the day, in fact — I shot the following short with the insightful and talented Johnny Fraser and his small crew. This piece is original, creative and disturbing.* A creepy twist on the idea of what the first day of school means. Shel Silverstein in a whole new light.

* I mean it. Forewarned is forearmed.

Change can only happen if you vote

O-B-A-M-A-O-BA-MA. Look for a handsome guy in plaid who says “O” early on. I did this promo before I registered to vote. Was that hypocritical or hopeful? youtube.com/watch?v=DQmO6JEF8rE

Coolidge Corner: Late for the Movie

12 May 2008

The promo is out and on the big screen! Here I am, late for the show and in the middle of dating angst — as per usual — then rescued miraculously, and she likes me, and the show is good, and all is well with the world. Because I’m a member.

It was great to work with Siobhan (my date), Shelley (usher), Alice (writer/director), Patrick (D.P.) et al. on this project. And I found it great to see myself on the big screen at the Coolidge. Look for me next time you catch a flick at this fine, fine theater.
