Belgium Chocolate Commercial

What does belgium chocolate have to do with construction men?  Absolutely nothing!  But I was chosen to be one of the construction men for a chocolate commercial where we never once saw a chocolate.  No taste test or even gawking at someone eating a chocolate.  But it was a great shoot.  I got to perform…

He’s Soon To Be Famous…

Hello friends… it’s been several weeks since I’ve made the time to update my website.  Things are busy (in a good way) with preparations for New York, acting workshops/classes and with my web design business that supports my acting (read: crack) habit!    =) I wanted to share an interview of a friend of mine named…

Miami.com Commercial

Not a bad day’s work!…  I was selected to be on a commercial for Miami.com, which is owned by a former employer of mine from a past life, The Miami Herald. For the commercial, there were two scenes.  The first was of friends hanging out at a bar.  The camera glides past us, zooming in…

Travel Channel & Samantha Brown

Samantha Brown is host for the Travel Channel’s “Weekend Getaways with Samantha Brown”.  She has also hosted other shows on the same network, such as “Great Hotels”, “Passport to Europe” and “Passport to Latin America”.  We’ve been watching her show for several years now on Sundays mornings and really enjoy her work.  So it was…

Onward and Upwards

Today I pay homage to Dr. Rupert.  He was the man who taught me it was o.k. to be an actor.  He didn’t sit me down and have a heart to heart discussion about it, nor was he a famous actor who inspired me to be like him.  It was much simpler than that… It…

Best Buy display in Houston!

In my previous blog about the Samsung displays in Best Buy, I asked my friends and family to send me a picture of themselves posing with my display if they saw me. I’m excited that I have now received my second picture!  Above is Gabbie Bode, daughter of John & Nikki Bode.  They are good friends of…

Best Buy display in Sugarland, TX!

In my previous blog about the Samsung displays in Best Buy, I asked my friends and family to send me a picture of themselves posing with my display if they saw me. I’m excited that I got my first picture!  Above is my close friend…. actually, I call her my Mexican Aunt, Yole Cruz.  She spotted my…

Samsung Display at Best Buy!

So I walk into a Best Buy on a mission.  The mission: to see myself at the Samsung display for their new HD TV sets.  A friend had told me he had seen me there… I walk by several TV’s, but they are the wrong brands, so I keep on.  Then, I see something promising……

Always Hustling

Like in many professions, an actor always has to be hustling to look for the next opportunity.  So we scour the internet, reading all the actor websites in search of auditions, network with other actors, and in general, keep an eye out for anything else that might offer an opportunity for an acting job. So…

Heading to LA!

So today is a big day for me and for my acting career.  I took the first steps towards LA!  I’m excited… a little scared, anxious and hopeful.  I won’t be there long on this trip… my goal is to do some ‘ground work’ for a possible future move.  By ‘ground work’ I mean making…

Atlanta Trip for 2 Auditions!

I am very excited!  A good friend of mine (Cristina Figarola) just gave me a tip on an agent from Atlanta that is casting for a show.  I immediately sent my headshots and a letter to the agent and she wants to meet me and send me on an audition with a big casting director…

Disturbing the Peace!

You have the right to eat donuts.  You have the right to choose your store, like Dunkin’ Donuts, for example. Ok, whatever… that’s cliche but I couldn’t resist… I mean, there was a box of donuts, I am in a policeman’s uniform… the temptation was just too great.  So I played a cop for a…

Univision Game Show

Who doesn’t love a cheesy game show?  Don’t answer that!  Well, to make a long story short, we were invited to attend a casting for a game show, so we went reluctantly because  we didn’t want to let down the casting director.  And the next thing we know, Univision picks us to be on the…

Netflix print ad with yours truly

So we received our Netflix movie the other day, and my wife opened it up and immediately threw away the enclosed ad.  That would have been the end of this blog if it weren’t for Vida, who happens to be Daniela’s mom… whooo is my “daughter” in the above print ad.  Well, Vida calls me…
