My dear friend, Kim Crow, is performing at the Banyan Theater in The Queen of Leenane this week and I cannot wait to see it on Saturday! Meanwhile, I am awaiting final word on Sony Pictures Criss Cross - being shot around Miami.
I auditioned for a TV restaurant spot Sunday. No dialogue, Just enjoying food that was not there and sharing it with a female companion - also not there. That's showbiz!

Is there a better place than SKOB to kick back, relax with a cold drink, eat some island style food and listen to great LIVE music all at the same time? I'm not sure if there is, but I'll keep looking. In the meantime, why not stop by the Siesta Key Oyster Bar for all of the above and a lot more. Check the menu our for details on their fantastic oyster and crawfish happy hour special.

Here's a radio interview I did with Ed McMahon a couple of years ago. He was a class act and a true gentleman.

Spanish is not a language that I am anywhere near fluent in, but I was able to memorize a line well enough for a Toyota commercial. Somehow, my agentt thinks I have an Hispanic look. Must be the mustache. Sunday night a few Sarasota area actors and I got together to discuss how to grow careers and give mutual support. I think this group will get bigger.
On Thursday, I'll be on a shoot playing a rogue detective in a film noir production being done in Tampa. I love those kind of roles.

The Rainy Season is upon us and the cranking up of TV and movie productions begins here. Burn Notice has started production again and there is talk of even more films having scenes shot in FL. Last week I auditioned at the Orlando Repertory Theater for a December production and this week it looks like more voiceover work is on the slate - along with an audition for an indie film to be shot in Tampa. It's a Bad Guy role that I always enjoy, so it should be fun.
