"The Henchman" World Premiere!

2010-04-21T12:36:00.000-07:00

The wait is finally over! The film I starred in, The Henchman will have its World Premiere Screening on May 1st, 2010 at The Folino Theater at Chapman University. I filmed this project back in February and most recently finished doing the ADR (automated dialog replacement) work in April. I've seen a good amount of the footage and it looks AMAZING!! It's definitely by far the best film I've ever been a part of! The quality of the picture is so pristine as it was shot using The Red Camera and the performances are top notch!

I play Jason, an ex-cop with a baby on the way who begins his first night as a Night-Time Security guard at the successful LOKI corporation. Unfortunately, he is blissfully unaware of the fact that LOKI's CEO is a super-villain with world-domination on his to-do list. Oh, and tonight just happens to be the night they blow up the UN.

This is going to be an action packed bonanza, with some hilarious moments that will have you rolling in the aisles. Don't miss The World Premiere of "The Henchman" coming on May 1st, 2010.

Buddy Holly Review!

2010-04-19T10:38:00.000-07:00

Here's a link to our first review for Buddy Holly at La Mirada Theatre. It was written by Steven Stanley, who has a website called StageSceneLA.com

Also, here's some clips from the show!

I spoke with Steven after the show and he told me how impressed he was with my Trumpet playing, especially considering that I'm much more of an actor/singer.

We run until May 2, so do yourself a favor and come on down to La Mirada and see Buddy Holly!

The cast is top notch with Brandon Albright leading the way (He also played Buddy in Las Vegas).

I will be playing Trumpet on stage in the show (having previously played trumpet in the San Francisco production of Buddy). I couldn't be more thrilled to be a part of this production again! And working for McCoy Rigby has been such a pleasure and I'm so happy to join the family!

If you want a night of toe tapping, dancing in the aisles, and to be transported back to 1959 then come see Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story at La Mirada Theatre!!

Appearance on TV Show, "Fox Legacy" with CEO of Fox, Tom Rothman

2010-03-08T22:31:00.000-08:00

On April 16, 2010 I'll be appearing on the show, "Fox Legacy" on the Fox Movie Channel.

Fox Legacy is a show that screens classic 20th Century Fox films. The film that is featured this time is, All About Eve. The show is hosted by Chairman and CEO of 20th Century Fox, Tom Rothman. I had the privilege to perform a sketch with Mr. Rothman in which I play his Assistant, Evan Harrington (a spin off of the title character of the film, Eve Harrington). This was my very first Co-starring role for an episodic television show, so I'm pretty excited!!

It was such a great experience being on the Fox Lot for the first time, and getting put in a dressing room as large as my apartment! Not to mention that just before I stepped into my dressing room, the sign on the door read, "Shirley MacLaine". She had just been in that dressing room before me! Very cool! It was also a pleasure working with Mr. Rothman and we finished the skit in 2 takes...i wanted more but Mr. Rothman was ready to move on....and he's the BOSS!!

The show will air on April 16 on the Fox Movie Channel at 5pm, 8pm & 11pm Pacific. It will be labeled, "Fox Legacy: All About Eve part 2" and I'll be on at the very end, after the movie:-)

I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank Alexandra Raines for casting me. She has a great newsletter for actors at www.alexsinfo.com I actually found the posting for this show on her newsletter and submitted.
