This is the kind of stuff that only happens in LA. A buddy of mine who lives in Hollywood and happens to be a successful actor, Jim Pitt (recently in Avatar), invited me to play catch. You see, he’s preparing for a role he recently booked in the sequel to “The Bad News Bears”, the classic 70’s…
Something’s different. No, it’s not the weather. It’s not the leaves on the trees either. Something’s different inside me. It feels like an alarm going off and it’s ringing in a voice saying “it’s time to go”. I’m listening to the voice. I’ve learned over the course of my life to listen and respect that…
I knew that title would get your attention. Perverts! 🙂 But the first time I am referring to is my first billboard on a major interstate freeway. The above masterpiece (I use this word liberally) is located in I-95 Northbound and Sheraton, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It’s the same photo that I featured in my…
I received an email today from my brother-in-law titled “Annoying Pop Up :)”. I’m intrigued… what could it be? I first think it’s one of those joke emails he often sends, so I open in expectations of a quick laugh. Well, I laughed, but not for the reason I was expecting. Low and behold, my…
So BOA is running a big campaign which highlights their community involvement, consumer help & empowering entrepreneurs. You can see the campaign website here. And yours truly was lucky enough to be in the commercial. Of course, I doubt you’ll see me, or for that matter, anyone else in the commercial I was in, because they…
So a few weeks ago, Eileen and I did 2 different commercials for 2 different hospitals. Now, they are both running at the same time. In each, we are in either a wheel chair or being diagnosed by a doctor or speaking to a nurse. We are officially Miami’s sick couple. Now all we need…
So my wife and I discovered a contest for a California winery that would give the winner a $100,000 salary for a 6 month period to be the media representative for the company. Part of the responsibilities would be to blog about wine and our experiences in the vineyards and post them across social media…
Beer in one hand, slot machine pull in the other… it was a good day on set for the Seminole Casino Hollywood commercial! OK, you caught me… there is no pull or lever on this slot machine… it’s one of those fancy new digital ones. But still, it was fun. The funny thing about this…
A few weeks ago, I was called for an interview for a short film titled “Innuendo”. I hadn’t gone to the original audition because I didn’t know about it. A long story short, they didn’t find the person they wanted, so they happened to hear of me via fellow actors Cristina Figarola and Vivi Pineda. After speaking with…
Today we pay tribute to the 234th Independence Day of our country. What a 234 years it’s been! I felt compelled to write in my blog today… specially since my blog has been abandoned for a few months. I’ve been so busy that I haven’t made time to straighten out my thoughts for my blog. …
I was in local car dealership commercial recently. I was the “manager” in charge of financing. It was an easy commercial… kinda cheesy… you know, the kind where everyone is overtly happy for no reason and smiling really big. Well, that was this gig! What’s funny is what happens between takes between the actors… we…
Lots of my friends ask me what it’s like to work on a set. And while each set can be different because of the crew, type of project, weather conditions, or the director, the general answer is this: It’s a lot of fun. It’s a lot of “hurry and wait”. It’s productive. And… It’s yummy!…
So my wife just texts me and writes “go to Amazon.com and search for ‘For Your Heart Only’”. I thought this was odd, but I immediately type in the address and what do I find… Our picture on a book cover! OMG! Her friend saw it as he was walking by a Barnes & Noble,…
So I’ve been in New York for about a month and do I feel overwhelmed with the stuff I gotta do. I want to learn accents, take monologue classes, do more classes on scene prep and cold reading… and of course, take as many workshops that I can with casting directors. Sigh… catch my breath. …
I have taken another step towards following my goals… my wife and I have come to New York for several months to audition, find agents, take classes and generally try our luck. I’ve been here for a few weeks now, and I’m really liking it. I didn’t think I would enjoy it as much as…
