A new comedy series about the real life personalities behind your favorite disney characters begins filming this week, and I will be starring as one of the featured roles!
Check out the site for the show at http://whoissugarcloud.com

I’m calling this week one, because as of last tuesday, I have an agent.
It’s the first serious stride forward in my career since my first paying film job a year ago.

I hope to be bringing you a status report each week telling you about the trials, tribulations and crazy bullshit that I encounter along the way.  This last week was full of auditions and awkward as the AAU began casting their spring midterm projects.  I find the same consistent feeling from college work, I look too old to play off college kids.  they trump the baby face and my size makes me look like the Hulk next to them on camera.

Today was a false start of a film shoot, we ended up getting the shoot day pushed because of a fire sprinkler mishap. hope to be back on track soon! I’ve also booked a gig doing V/O for Patagonia, which combined with the gig today should be enough to afford new headshots by the beginning of next month, while adding a new diverse piece of work to my voiceover reel.

Last month yielded two smaller supporting roles in an MMA themed independent film, and an industrial shoot in the east bay.

Not much traction on the vehicular front, but things can change in a minute with this industry, so fingers crossed, and think good thoughts.

Till next week.

Happy 2013 Everybody! Its looking to be an insane year and I’m hitting the ground running.  I just wrapped filming on my first lead in an indie horror film, and I had a great time meeting some really amazing people.  Next up is a web series where I’ll be playing a recurring fantasy character, time to blow the dust off the boots and polish the swords, because this show is going to be positively badass.  I’ll post photos as soon as It gets underway.  I’m also in the first stages of several builds for Comicon 2013, so make sure to keep an eye out for more information about that.

The State of the Crazy: Grad school applications are in, and auditions are scheduling. It’s going to be a knock down drag out kind of month, but so far, New York University, University of California Los Angeles, and New School University are in, with the first auditions on the 9th and 10th of February.  You should be at least a little stoked, cause I’m freaking the hell out.

I’ll report back when theres something new to report. for now, I’m complete.

Private Addendum: What would you do?                                                                                                     

What would you do if you lost everything that had defined your life? If your home was gone, and everything you loved was taken from you?

Lets just start by saying that 2012 hasn’t been everything that the year had promised to be 11 months ago. There have been ups, and there have been downs, and while I’m a fan of struggle, there are some punches you can’t just shake off.

My sports car burned up. I don’t know if I can get it running again. The home I grew up in was mine again for a few months, but that’s gone too. I lost my job, which wasn’t doing it for me anyway, and I lost the fight to get back the girl. That was the hardest pill to swallow. I say I lost her because in the end, I know what I did wrong. I wasn’t doing what I should have been. That’s the problem with pedestals, people get bored up there. Maybe someday I’ll get a chance to redeem myself for that. Probably not. Life isn’t a video game, and she already gave me a second chance.

My family is in pieces, I’m not sure if they can get further apart, though I’m sure they’ll try.
Mind you, all of this bitching is really coming up to this one point. If everything that mattered to you, everything that truly defined you as a person were no longer yours to belong to, to own, what would you do?

I don’t know what I should do. But I know what I can do, and thats everything, and anything.

This is what its like to have nothing to lose.
