Manhattan Theater Source-Cast, Lead 'A Body Without a Head'
Today, I was cast as the lead in ‘A Body without a Head’ by George Carr to be performed at The Manhattan Theater Source, the end of April. It is a series of dramatic poems surrounding the life of ‘Pollo’, who is inspired by Apollo, the Greek God. More to come later.

In addition, I am in the final rounds of auditioning for ‘Fox Network’ documentaries for Bob Esperante story, which are a series of sports inspired dramatic pieces. It is being cast by Judy Keller. In addition, I auditioned for a V/O for the the new ‘Marines Myspace Pledge Engine’. Things are going great and I was also contacted by a career counselor who wants to represent me in my searches of the LA market. She used to work with my old coach and mentor, Anthony Bova, from ‘The Eric Morris Technique’.
Sunday, I attended Amy’s show, Cirque Le Masque, which is a spinoff of Cirque de Soleil. It was at the Brooklyn College Walt Whitman Theater, and was very entertaining. Amy did a great job and I helped her with her final preparations for her character. My sister came from Philly and it was great to see her, even though it was only for a few minutes.
“Celebration of Life” my documentary is fully complete in the creation process. It will now need to be flushed out and shot. It is a great concept on observing life’s finer things. We will be following the who, what, when, where and how’s of how to ‘Celebrate Life’. Our first subject will most likely be a victim of AIDS, to promote awareness of this worldwide epidemic.
This Friday and Saturday, I am doing re-shoots of ‘2 Star State of Mind’. Once those days are completed, the film will be complete and even closer to distribution. I play the lead, ‘Steve Willoughby’ and it revolves around addiction and its affected counterparts. This film has also been entered in Tribeca, so I hope it gets accepted ( along with my other 2 films, I’m in).
My script is coming along nicely, I am adapting a book and plan to meet with the author sometime in the next two weeks to discuss our progress. Lastly, today I joined a sign language class to learn more about language and communication, and its also been a goal of mine to learn, so I am excited to be stepping in the right direction. Oh yeah, ran into Fred Armisen from SNL today, we spoke on the street for a few minutes, he talked alot about LA and comedic opportunities out there and with UCB. He’s a great guy and had a lot to offer in terms of shaping my comedic endeavors. That’s it for now. Enjoy the sun before the snow pummels us again!
