I don’t know why the Belgium Lottery felt compelled to film their commercial in Miami, but I’m glad they did! I was cast as a waiter, dressed in the formal vest and bow tie… but something interesting happened. While they were framing the shot and the actors were waiting around, I decided to sit down…
These are the kind shoots that make commercial acting so fun. This was a 3 day cruise to the Bahamas to film a commercial for Celebration Cruise Ship. The star of the shoot was the beautiful Daisy Fuentes (yes guys, she’s hot in person too). And yes, that was a shameless name drop… sorry. OK,…
I was excited to receive a call from a big local casting director to play a role on America’s Most Wanted. I was to be the boyfriend of the victim who gets held up and tied up. So I get to set, meet my ‘girlfriend’ for the shoot (Coralie Reiter, gorgeous!) and wait 8 hours…
So I was chosen to be the video spokesman for Clear Lead, Inc., a web marketing company. I actually did this gig several months ago, but just found it on the web, so I thought I’d share it. It was filmed in front of a green-screen, so they can remove the background and insert whatever…
Today we shot a commercial contest for Chipotle Mexican Grill. The best commercial wins $10,000 and is will be televised nationally in their advertising campaign. We had a blast filming this…. it was produced by Spiral Media (wonderful production company!) and there were 3 principals; me, Almudena Alcázar Vargas Peña (that’s one person 🙂 and John McCarthy. They were awesome!!! …
Got some gold laying around? Old chains or necklaces? Well, send it in for cash! 😉 You’ve seen these commercials all over TV… it’s the latest business rage since the price of gold has skyrocketed. So if you live in Miami, you’ll be seeing my face saying “I called Gold Giant and made $662!”… or…
Ahem. Clear the throat. Read over the text one last time and… recording! I did a voice over today for a lasik eye company. It was a great gig… I was there for a total of 45 minutes… that’s fast! woohoo! The cool thing is how precise the text has to be read… I had…
So today, I was hired to be an on-camera translator for the series UFO Hunters. I translated Klingon. OK, not really… just making sure you’re paying attention. I was hired to translate the Cuban UFO experts who had been researching UFO accounts on the islands for the last 20 years. It was a nice gig,…
Here’s some irony…. I did the Tobacco Free Florida Commercial today, but boy do I love my cigars! I don’t smoke cigarettes, which I believe are disgusting. They are full of fillers and chemicals and a bunch of other stuff you don’t want in your body. A cigar, on the other hand, is pure tobacco……
Today was a good day. No… today was an amazing day! I booked 2 freaking commercials in one day. That doesn’t happen often in the acting world. I feel so awesome… but I confess… its irks me that I didn’t get the third one…. the KFC commercial. Genuinely, I can say I did not want…
I finished shooting the Samsung shoot yesterday… what a fun shoot! The shoot was for Samsung’s new flat-screen TV’s (they’re beautiful). I was the dad, Lucia (pictured above and great actress) was my wife, and we had 2 gorgeous little kids… Daniela and Kevin. So the video we shot will be displayed in Best Buys…
So I’ve been on 3 auditions since the start of the new year, and I booked one of them! Yeeehaw! That’s 33%!…. Hell, if I keep that up, it’s gonna be a gang buster year! I feel it’ll be a great year…. I know something is just around the corner… we’ll see soon. I was…
The film industry is moving at a crawl here in Miami. Ever since the Film Industry tax incentives were removed by the state of Florida, many projects have left. And on top of that fiasco, the economy, of course, is also racing at snails pace. So here we are… slowly moving along. I can’t complain…
So today I went to Lori Wyman’s book signing. Lori is one of the top casting directors in Miami… she’s very well liked and is a wonderful person. She finished her new book titled “The Organic Actor” (click here to buy – awesome book for actors) which she officially launched today. At her book signing, she…
Todays was fun! Eileen and I were both chosen to be part of the audience for a new frying pan that claims to be the best pan in the world because it’s non-stick and it’s green (made with environmentally friendly materials). Everyone in the audience was told to bring their old non-stick frying pans… that…
