Eric and Bonnie had worked together on the recent national tour of Chicago, with Eric on keyboards and …

Brief Encounter on Broadway
I love good plays. I love good movies. So I was glad we found a chance to see Brief Encounter on Broadway. I had never seen the classic film version, but that didn’t interfere with my enjoying this unique stage incarnation. In fact, now I can’t wait to see the film! Britain’s Kneehigh Theatre has …
Minute Maid Love Fest
In an earlier post, I shared my tale of auditioning for and landing a Minute Maid print ad. When the shoot day came, I arrived a little bit early and as expected, the studio was already abuzz with activity. A series of people introduced themselves to me and welcomed me graciously. I was hearing a …
Love and Kisses at the Minute Maid Audition
Every once in a while, I have an audition experience that’s just a hoot. And sometimes all that fun leads to a great gig! My agent recently scheduled me for a print ad audition for Minute Maid.

A Classy Casting Director
I have to say, by and large, I genuinely like the casting directors I meet. They tend to be smart, positive, and enthusiastic audiences. Occasionally, I run across the rare exception.

Storypods Nonsense Poem Voiceovers
I became acquainted with Liz and Francis, the brains behind the Oxford-based Storypods Audiobooks when I reviewed their charming audio production of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland a couple of years ago. This year, Liz told me they were going to sponsor a nonsense writing competition, and asked me to be one of their judges. I …
Mamarosh Shoot Wraps
I’ve completed my two days of shooting as Dorian, the tense gay TV producer, for the feature film Mamarosh. My second day of shooting also happened to be the last day of shooting for the entire film, so I was there for the final wrap. Over the course of shooting, I met and worked with …
