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 …

A New Feature Film Role: Mamarosh

Sometimes great things happen in surprising ways.  The independent feature film Mamarosh, which has already completed two-thirds of its filming in Europe, is now shooting the remainder of the film in New York.  I auditioned for the role of a pompous cinema manager.  Casting directors Brandon Powers and Harley Kaplan were very gracious, and the …

e-Learning for Kids Guided Tour Voiceover

When I presented my eLearning voiceovers seminar at the eLearning Guild’s March 2010 conference in Orlando, I met a lot of bright, creative, super-friendly people.  One of those folks was Michael Williams, who is Director of Courseware Development for a great non-profit called “e-Learning for Kids.”  They run a web site of free interactive elearning for grades …

The Final Episode of The Disengaged Dozen is Now On YouTube!

Well, this is it.  The end of the road.  At least for my Disengaged Dozen series of video ads.  Episode 6, the last of the series, has just been posted on YouTube.  This time, my character (Benny the Boss) has to contend with an employee who just can’t seem to manage his time.  Know anyone like …

Episode 3 of The Disengaged Dozen is now on YouTube

This week, I return as Benny the Boss in the 6-part sitcom series The Disengaged Dozen.  My co-star (or is that co-conspirator?) is the very funny Fleur Phillips, who, when not playing withholding killjoy Cher Nothing, is in fact both lovely and delightful.  Once again, Benny must find a way to re-engage an eccentric and wayward employee.  …

Episode 2 of “The Disengaged Dozen” is now online!  Just click the image on the right to launch the video on YouTube.  This time my character Benny the Boss helps out Nervous Neddie, an employee so terrified of something going wrong that he can’t get anything right.  It turns out that Guy Olivieri, who makes …

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 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 …
