I’ve just learned that Episode 2 of the web series The Disengaged Dozen (in which I appear as the plucky Benny the Boss) should be on YouTube and elsewhere starting Tuesday, July 6th. Stay tuned for the saga of Nervous Neddie…! The remaining four episodes are now scheduled to be posted every two weeks, on Tuesdays.

The Smurfs Movie: It’s a Wrap!
Last Wednesday, I returned from the gym to find a small FedEx envelope. Inside was a small manilla envelope with an address label proclaiming The Smurfs Movie. I opened the envelope to find a lovely invitation announcing “Smurfs – From Belgium to the Bowery – It’s a Wrap!” So on Saturday night, after seeing The …
The Screwtape Letters
Saturday night, Tim and I went to see my buddy Steve Hauck take on the title role in The Screwtape Letters at the Westside Arts Theatre, Off Broadway. Steve is standby for star/adaptor Max McLean, and happily knew in advance that both he and his fellow standby, Elise Girardin, would be going on for both …
The Disengaged Dozen Episode 1 is on YouTube!
The first of the six zany web commercials I shot recently for the very creative folks at Bernard Hodes Group has just been posted on YouTube. Think 50’s sitcom on helium. They were a lot of fun to film, and everyone involved was incredibly nice as well as talented. I’ve seen the final version of …

Smurfs Movie Scene Completed!
On Tuesday, June 1st, I was at the Russian Tea Room in Manhattan filming my “day principal” scene as a waiter who runs into the rude villain Gargamel in the upcoming Smurfs 3D movie, due out in August of 2011. Director Raja Gosnell gave me a warm welcome while I was in the makeup trailer. He …
Everyday Rapture
We went to see Everyday Rapture recently, as we had loved Sherie Rene Scott in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. She did not disappoint! What a lovely, gracious onstage presence. And then that fabulous voice! It was no surprise that she can turn on the wattage whenever she wants, but what was especially lovely about this self-created …
The Temperamentals
Tim and I went to catch The Temperamentals before its closing. The five member cast did a beautiful job of telling the remarkable story. I really knew nothing about Harry Hay, or his Mattachine Society, the first gay rights organization in America. It’s a remarkable tale, and a humbling one. And the fact that he …
The Disengaged Dozen Web Ads Filmed
We were scheduled to shoot the six web ads for Bernard Hodes Group from 8:30am-4pm on Friday, 5/7. The shoot went so smoothly that despite starting late due to some technical issues, we wrapped at 3:25! It was a great day; everyone involved in front of and behind the camera was talented, nice, and fun. …
6 Webisode Ads
Around 4:30pm this afternoon, I auditioned for a role in a series of six very funny little “webisode” ads. The tone is delightfully tongue in cheek, and it turns out the clever scripts were written by Dewey Moss, the Creative Director doing the casting for the Bernard Hodes Group. About a half an hour later, …
Smurfs 3-D!!
I’ve just been cast in my first major motion picture! It’s the Smurfs 3D movie, due out in August of 2011. I have one scene as a waiter in an upscale restaurant who has to cope with bad behavior from Hank Azaria and Sofia Vergara. I have no lines, just silent reactions to their villainous …
