Here’s a short film I had a small part in. I got to play a d-bag, which was fun.
FARE CHANCE: Two strangers are about to meet for the first time. Daniel hasn’t left his apartment in years. Shannon, a limo driver, has two kids, an ungrateful husband and customers who won’t give her the time of day. When Daniel is finally forced to leave his apartment, fate prescribes that the two meet. Gradually, they form a kind of friendship that neither will soon forget.
Here’s a trailer for the movie I was in this past January. Available on DVD this November.
Golden Burn
Last Saturday, I went to a casting call for a movie starring Ed Harris and Jennifer Connelly. There were a few tables, and we were to stand in line and then engage in one-to-two minutes of conversation with the unattentive person sitting behind the table.
As I’m standing there talking to someone who isn’t even remotely looking in my direction, I notice that the guy sitting on my side of the table is Dustin Lance Black… the screenwriter of “Milk”. He wrote this movie too, which is probably why he was there.
During minute two of my pseudo-conversation, I ask the interviewer how old he thinks I am… and then Dustin looks at me and goes, “I’d say about 45.” I didn’t really know what to say, so just laugh it off. “Haha, come on man… really?”
“You set yourself up for that one,” he says.
“Yeah, I guess you’re right.”
I left the place thinking that I probably just wasted a half-day for a 90 second interview, until I realized that I got ripped on by an Oscar-winner. How many people can say that? Totally worth it.
If you’re down with watching full length movies in a tiny player you can watch Last Night Out, the 2006 independent comedy I co-starred in, right here.

Caution: Only watch this if you’re ready for fast skating, sweet jumps and grinding turns.
This week’s Golden Mullet Award recipient brought her 8 and 12 year old kids with her to see Bruno tonight. Huzzah!
To me, the best years of SNL were during the early 90’s. I can’t find video of “The Guy Who Plays Mr. Belvedere Fan Club” online, which is my all-time favorite.
