For the first time, I landed a gig based solely on resumé and video clips. Video clips are definitely the big casting tool these days, and I’ll be creating more of them. This shoot was a blast. It was for my favorite local TV station, so already I was psyched to be part of their …

I’m not featured in this trailer, but I contributed the voice of the Judge to the Barrister’s Dream sequence. After all, who could turn down an appearance …

Back in 2010, I played a small role in an independent short film by Kathryn Rotondi entitled Free Man. I appeared in the opening scene as a well-meaning Funeral Director who finds himself caught between a grieving mother and her late son’s partner in the planning of a memorial. The script was beautifully written: simple, and powerful. When …

After two rounds of audio auditions, I’m happy to say I landed a cool role in an animated short film called Majnun’s Dream Theater Shadow Show which is being created by talented filmmaker Alexandra Huzsvai.

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 …
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 …
