New Headshots

Well, it was that time again.  Time for new headshots, to better reflect who I am these days.  I went to my buddy Hunter Canning, who, in addition to being an accomplished actor himself, is also an excellent photographer for theatre, fashion, and portraits.  Hunter and I worked together on NY Classical Theatre’s production of …

A Lear Review on Free Shakespeare Site

I just came across a very interesting site called playshakespeare.com, which is a free resource offering online texts of all of William Shakespeare’s plays, as well as reviews of theatrical productions, an online community, research materials, the inevitable Bard-related shopping, and more.  It’s an ambitious site, so it’s going to take me a while to look …

Come See Me in The 39 Steps at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre in Florida This November!

Okay.  I’m super excited.  First The Smurfs and now this!  My agent Renée and her associate Joe called from About Artists this afternoon to tell me I’ve landed one of the two Clown roles in the Maltz Jupiter Theatre’s upcoming production of the hit Hitchcock spy spoof, The 39 Steps!  I’ve been dying to do …

I’m delighted to announce that I now offer a comprehensive set of voiceover samples on the Voiceovers page of my web site.  I’ve always had the commercial v/o demo available, but now I’ve added a host of others in a variety of categories, including eLearning, Documentary, Animation, World Dialects, and more.  A number of the …

Smurfing USA!

On Sunday, Tim and I went to see the Smurfs movie in 3D with our nephew Nicholas, his mom Patty, Tim’s brother Danny, and his wife Ginny.  We went to the brand new Ridge Hill multiplex here in Yonkers–it’s one of the only things open in this massive development (which is so big they may actually …

The Smurfs Movie Is Out!

Well, today’s the day I make my major motion picture debut.  I play a silent waiter who runs afoul of the villain during a tasteful dinner at the Russian Tea Room.  The scene lasts all of a minute (if they kept the whole thing), but if it’s as funny on film as it was while …

Exit the King–Remembering Actor Donald Grody

One evening last week, I went to refill a small portable bottle of non-aspirin pain reliever pills that I keep in my audition bag.  I opened both the jumbo Costco-sized bottle and the little travel size bottle, and filled the little one with pills from the big one.  I replaced the lid on the large …

Come See Ghosts July 14-17 in New York City!

Whew!  I haven’t posted in quite a while as I had to do a massive upgrade to my site but having accomplished that today, I’m happy to say that our production of an updated adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s classic drama Ghosts has opened, and we have one more weekend of performances.  I’m playing Pastor Manders, …

I’m Playing Pastor Manders in an Updated Ghosts!

Joe just called from my agent’s office to let me know I’ve been offered the role of Pastor Manders in Emmy Frank’s Showcase production of an updated translation of Henrik Ibsen’s Ghosts.  Manders is a great character; he’s a preacher with the best intentions in the world, and a lot of influence, but his judgment …

At long last, the premiere of The Smurfs movie is almost here!  The date has been moved up from August to July 29th.  And today, I received a call from a woman checking the spelling of all the names to appear in the credits, and she confirmed that my little 30-second scene made the final …
