This is age 67½. Sometimes I feel like casting expects us all to have gray hair, but I do know that they know better & if they want gray hair they ask for gray hair.

Yes, I can be cast younger, as long as they don’t shoot my liver spots &c. So, yes, a first-world, lucky-genes problem.

Need a DIT (Digital Imaging Technician) for your short film? I just finished a weekend shoot that generated 1,000 GB of digital files! I’d love to help you wrangle, organize, preserve, and prepare all your video and audio for handoff to your editor.

ICYMI, #CastingNetworks is raising fees that our reps pay for their side of the service. CN suggests that it will reduce the burden on actors w/o specifying how much it would be reduced. Let’s see both rep & actor fees at the same time!

Commercial slates can get pretty involved.

Do No Harm is the 2nd episode of The Opioid Trilogy on Independent Lens on PBS. It is one of three very personal stories about opioid addiction and treatment.

At first, I thought zin zun zan was an acting studio.

I’m ready for my closeup! My first manicure, ever! The audition notes mentioned “hand” or “hands” nine times, even though it’s a tabletop-to-head frame. (And, yes, there’s also a hand photo slate.)

The Opioid Trilogy, Ep. 2: Do No Harm premieres on PBS on Sept. 16. (Local time may vary.) The 2nd installment of The Opioid Trilogy follows a 17-year struggle with heroin addiction and path to recovery.

I performed in this rotoscope-animated (reenactment) documentary.

My first residuals check!
Just in time to pay September rent!
(This is a typical portion of Distributor's Gross Receipts, DGR, for a day player. It’s divided among all cast and crew working under a union contract.)

1923 audition vs. final.
Most self tapes stand alone, a single performance for the casting director, each with hope but without expectation that there will be a second audition (callback) or a role in the production. #OTD last year

I do love playing a villain. (From today’s self tape for a role in a feature.)
