Da Doo Dirty Show with DJ Baker

Straight outa Brooklyn the first week of August Twenty Ten. Please watch and listen... this interview conveys exactly who I am and I am very proud of it.
Thank you. ;-)

Shakespeare's The Tempest, Caliban

On a very hot day on NYC's Wall Street in the square in front of the NYSE, Artist Mitchel Coffman directed a video art performance that he will incorporate into a future art exhibit. This is that piece. See more of Mitchel's work at www.mitchelcoffman.com

Bud Light Commercial Outtakes

I love this beer drinking, cigar smoking, card playing character with the old school hat, tattoos and muscles. I'd wanna hang with him and have a beer! I'm sure he's got some great stories to tell. :-)

"Albert" & "Becoming the Bouncer"

Some out takes and movie trailer from "Albert" by Elin Glonblom, a very sweet and inspirational story about rejection and determination. I play Genee an exotic super hero like character who is sworn by honor to serve the cantankerous Mr. Sputnik. ;-)





Becoming the Bouncer, a pilot for a competition tv show about bouncing... not balls but people. ;-)

Brick by Brick

New wave pop sensation Richard Barone recorded his own version of the heavy metal song Brick by Brick for his cameo in Mr. Bricks the movie. This is the music video. Very cool. ;)
And then scroll down page to find the heavy metal version ala Tim Dax. ;)

Lloyd Kaufman creator of Toxic Avenger!

Lloyd Kaufman recently discovered Mr. Bricks and insisted he make a cameo in our movie!  He thinks that Mr. Bricks is going to make an impact in indie film industry.  Schweeet!
This is today before we shot our scene.  Thank you so much Lloyd! http://lloydkaufman.com

MR. BRICKS TRAILERS ARE HERE!

UNDISPUTED

So as I mentioned I shot a pilot for FOX productions called "Undisputed", a behind the scenes program focusing on the business and personal end of the wrestling world.  My character, "Galapagos"... "Destroyer of Men". LOL!  The production team have hopes to sell the series to networks like SPIKE, FX or others of the like. My fingers and toes are crossed for luck. ;-)
Here is a huge poster that hangs in the main office where this program centers.  Very cool indeed.
Thank you God. :-)

MEN STILL THINK WITH THEIR CLUBS

The first of a series of internet commercials for a great and funny book by Milt Lowe.  Men Still Think With Their Clubs... watch the commercial and then buy the book!  Enjoy yourself! ;-)

Audition tape for "The Duel" a short film

I found this vid of my audition last November for a part I got in a short film called "The Duel".  Got a kick outa it... literally.  Watch. ;) 

"The Real Deal" with Sidney Alvarez

Here is part 1 and 2 of a great interview via skype with Sidney Alvarez on his show "The Real Deal" on March 3, 2010.   You can also see full interview at  http://www.outonline.com 
A very good interview if I do say so myself. ;-)

CALIGULA MAXIMUS

Please come check out Caligula Maximus.  Opens March 11 thru April 3rd.  I had a laugh today speaking with director Alfred Pressier http://www.alfredpreisser.com/ when he asked what I tell people what I do in his show... because I play a gladiator from a more primal German time who wields a wooden spear and proceeds to get an ass whoopin from 3 gladiatrixes... not to be confused with dominatrixes... but then again... they could be dom's just the same.  I play Incitatus a horse that carries the great Caligula on my shoulders, makes love to said master (a verbal confirmation... we don't really do it on stage! LOL!  Although if I said we did maybe that'll make for a bigger draw at the box office ;) and appointed to the Senate again by said master Caligula.

I'm ridden hard and put away wet so to speak.  So do come see. ;-)

CAVEMAN TO CALIGULA TO BRICKS

Good stuff happening, good stuff.  I auditioned for a commercial as a caveman and got the part.  I had meeting with the top casting director for Law & Order a couple days ago.  Rehearsals for the musical Caligula Maximus are going great!  Every day the show evolves.  It's very cool.   I am lucky to be involved with some very talented people.  The show is full of life (and death ;) after all it is Caligula I am speaking of.  Great music, great voices, great talent.

Mr. Bricks!  By no means to be forgotten!  Mr. Bricks is the man.  Mr. Bricks is something very special.  His ability to persevere no matter what due to great heart and passion... no matter how skewed that passion and that heart may be. ;-)

And I just got off the phone with a casting agent in LA about an event to take place here in NYC.

Good stuff... goof stuff. ;)

CALIGULA MAXIMUS

Musical theatre by Alfred Preisser and Randy Weiner.  I mentioned Caligula a few posts back when I auditioned for it.  Well I was cast and today was our first rehearsal.  A musical and physical celebration of the over exhuberant Ceasar, Tirant, Deviant, Pervert Caligula.  I think we all know the jist of his story.  If not, look it up.  So how perfect that I'm in it?   I'm a gladiator, a guard, a horse... and maybe some thing more.  We'll see.  Like I said today was only the first day. ;-) Oh and my name is Serenus Aphrodisius. ;-)

Greater story...

While at rehearsal today a guy came up to me and told me how much he liked the music video Brick by Brick from the Mr. Bricks soundtrack.  http://www.youtube.com/mrbricksmovie  Swear to God!  Said he listens to it before the gym!  How cool is that?! 

Loving that I'm doing musical theatre and film.  So cool.

From "Albert" to Troma

I finished a two day shoot for the short film "Albert" the other day.  A brilliantly whimsical story about determination and imagination.  I played Geenie, a sworn protector to Mr. Sputnick, a cantankerous old man filled with angst and frustration.  In the end the old man is shown what magic the human spirit can produce when he believes in himself. :-)  So I'm a bodyguard and my costume (this is kinda funny) was almost the same as when I was the devil in "The Lair" a few days before.  Instead of red baggy Thai pants, no shirt and red body glitter... I wore baggy white Thai pants, no shirt and gold body glitter! LOL! 

Part of my ticket into the movies is taking my shirt off! LOL!  I have no problem with that.  I am visual art, so I use it to my advantage. ;-)

Moving on... I had a meeting with some brilliant young minds at Troma Entertainment recently.  While at Troma headquarters in Long Island  City, NY I stole a moment at the great Lloyd Kaufmans desk.  Lloyd is co-creator of one of the biggest cult classics "Toxic Avenger"!  A movie I remember watching one late night on Cinemax when I was probably in the 6th grade.  Now I'm sitting at the makers desk!  Life can be so cool if you let it. ;-)

At Lloyd's desk...
