If you have been wishing that you could see me performing live and in person, well, you are in luck! I will be performing in a short run of a holiday themed One Act Play festival. There are only five performances, but I will be doing a fun role in a three person play called The Kindness of Strangers. It will be part of 3 one-acts and will have just over an hour running time. You can find the info on it at Homeless for the Holidays. Hope you can make it! Opens Friday,  December 3rd.

So, to get ready for the election this year, my production company, ShowFriends, decided to have some with it as well as poke some fun at network dramas and Sorkin.  I co-wrote this funny new sketch that has been selected for the Front Page of Funny or Die! It is a new drama coming to NBC this winter and it is called The West Wing: Trump Years. It has received almost 10k hits on Funny or Die. Go check it out for a good laugh!

I get to go from Dad to Detective. On the same night that you can watch my episode of Modern Family, I just found out that I booked a role on the great Amazon drama, Bosch. So, keep you eyes open in the coming month for me to pop up as a new Detective on this great show!

It’s always really fun and exciting when you end up booking work on a show that you actually watch all the time and love. That was the case for me this week when I booked a role on one of my favorite comedies, Modern Family! I had the pleasure of working with most of the cast during the week and had a really fun scene with Jesse Tyler Ferguson. I will for sure keep everyone posted as to when the episode airs, which will probably be some time in Mid-September.

I just got back from Santa Cruz where I was filming some reshoots for the film Hope Dances. The film is 95% done and they were just adding a few more scenes to help the arc of the characters and the story. The plan is for it to start being submitted for festivals by September so keep your eyes open for it!

How cool is this!?!? The series that I was in, “Everyone’s Crazy But Us”, where I played Kate Walsh’s husband, was just nominated for an EMMY! Congrats to my co-star, Janet Varney, on her Emmy nom. Super excited for her and the show and proud to be part of such a funny project!

Get ready to see some more funny shorts from the group I am in, called Showfriends. I am back to writing, acting and producing in our next series of web shorts that we just shot this week. I’m telling you, I think you’ll really like these! Stay tuned to the Showfriends YouTube page and also Funny or Die to catch all the fun!

I just submitted my first comedy pilot to the NYTVF half hour pilot competition! I have written things before with partners but this is my first foray into writing a TV pilot on my own. Wish me luck! Winners will be announced later this summer.

Great news! The feature I shot last year, The Dark Tapes, just won an award for Best Ensemble at the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival (LAIFF)! I feel happy and honored to be a part of this great little indie horror/thriller. Keep an eye out for it On-Demand and at other festivals in the future!

I got to go back up to Santa Cruz this week to shoot 3 more days on the film, Hope Dances. I’m really excited to be able to share this film with you when it comes out. A great family drama about an 11 year old girl who has to make those first adult decisions about her life. She’s a great ballerina and softball player and everyone wants her to focus on just one thing, but life is about more than just that, or so she realizes.
