Who Are You?

Actors are often accused of hiding who they really are by playing parts that vary from their true selves. I like to think that actors should bring themselves into the roles they play. After all, an actor should apply his or her experiences and sometimes attitudes to truly embrace a character.Yes, we are still pretending to be someone else. AMERICAN SOUTH starts shooting on the 13th for me, so I am prepping myself to be a sleazy mayor of a very small town. I am still awaiting word on the PERCEPTI… Continue

Down, But Not Out

Despite a highly painful medical problem in my left knee, I am still moving from an acting point of view. Nobody hates being hit with a problem that forces one to be immobile more than I. I must admit that I am easily fed up with being a patient. However, while in the mostly prone position I received news that I was cast as a District Attorney in Capstone Entertainment's thriller PERCEPTION. The folks at Garner-Alan Productions were able to rechedule my shoot night for HAVOK to accomodate my kne… Continue

How to Expedite the Loan Modification Process

As a Member of the Top 5 in Real Estate Network®, I am frequently asked these days for my advice on loan modification…specifically, how quickly new loan terms can be arranged. Waiting to find out if your application for loan modification has been accepted can be a nerve-wracking and frustrating experience—especially if you’re still receiving late payment notices and creditor calls. Here are some important insights into the loan modification process from consumer advocate and author Ralph R. Robe… Continue

Devils “Treat” Themselves to 2-1 Shootout Win over Lightning

(Tampa, FL) Antero Niittymaki stopped 37 Devil shots on this Halloween, but it wasn’t enough to treat the fans to a win as New Jersey beats the Lightning 2-1 in a shootout win this afternoon before 12,154 fans at the Forum. Outshooting the Lightning 38-15, the Lightning goaltender, Antero Niittymaki played his best game of the season turning back all but one shot in keeping Tampa Bay in a game which New Jersey controlled from the beginning. Niitty made a spectacular glove save on Cory Murphy in… Continue

american south

Can you see me in a Panama hat with a Southern drawl strutting my stuff as a mayor of a very small Florida town? Well, apparently the producer and writer/director of AMERICAN SOUTH can. This thriller-feature is about a very small town that suddenly is the victim of a serial killer - and there are no strangers to blame. Principal filming begins next month. I am also glad to say that Ascension Films here in Sarasota has tapped me for one of its upcoming projects. And, my audition as a high-powered… Continue

Busy

Friday The 13th!

Yes, Jason is back! At least the actor, Warrington Gillette, is alive and he was here in Sarasota. He was at the Screamfest in Orlando and came here for a get together orchestrated by Florida Films Productions. He is now doing the Slasher Festival circuit while trying to put together a game studio he wants in Miami. I'll post a photo of us together when I get it. This past Saturday, Bad Fish Productions shot a viral ad that featured me as a schizophrenic homeless guy with Tourette's Syndrome. I… Continue
