Wow. Yesterday, I do a fitting for the film The Ballad of Bettie Page to shoot with Gretchen Mol on Thursday, the next day I hear the shoot has been cancelled and moved to Florida since the temperature will be warm tomorrow. Isn't that a shocker? Here I was, thinking I'd be dunked by Gretchen Mol. Oh well, too bad for Gretchen. I plod on! Wanna work together?
This afternoon I had a print go-see for Unisys at B-Hive Studios.

Today I was on ABC's The View.
The spot was shot yesterday while I was working on the military island in Times Square, a promotion for Reuters.com. I was wearing a large globe on my head. The candidate-host, wearing a black shirt that says "SMILE, It confuses people," asked me where 4 Times Square was.
My ex-girlfriend Aimée called from Toronto to say she saw me on the show. I had no idea it was going to end up on television. What a surprise!
If you have a copy, I'd love to see it.

Tonight at 7pm I'm doing a reading of Michael Bettencourt's award-winning play, A Question of Color, as a part of Reverie Productions' Next Generation Playwriting Contest Final Round. I play one of the lead roles, John Wicks. It's a mighty hefty role, too. I hope to help the playwright take first place!
If you would like to attend, follow this link for directions and additional information. The show is pay-what-you-will and about 2 hours long.
