Back to the Big Apple
Hazelnut coffee is flowing and I’ve waking up here in Michigan after we had a major thunderstorm that woke me about 4 am. I almost got up to finish my final packing but I decided to grab the extra four hours of sleep. I’ve been working development and getting ready to shoot IN OUR TIME but I had a great opportunity pop up. I got a call to come co-star in a comedy shooting in NYC. The funny part was when the director called me I laughed and said, “I kind of got this Jesus look going” and he explained the role and how it would all figure.
I play an anti-terrorist agent and I’m so very excited to do something zany before going into something very dramatic. As I know more of what they want released I will drop some exclusives here. My buddy Carlucci who starred with me in KARMA is a central character and so it will be great to see him. I also here rumor that Alma will also be playing a character and she was the female lead in KARMA so we have a nice reunion going on of sorts. I look forward to making some new friends and associates.
This last week has been working with Dennis Therrian and Triumphant Ent. getting the final stuff around for the August HEAVEN’S NEIGHBORS and FIGURE IN THE FOREST. The latter has a soundtrack being released and we also added Joe Pullin’s music video for one of the major songs “I Will Wait For You” featuring John Oates, Peter Frampton and the London Symphony recorded at Abbey Roads studio. Here is a link for the music video.

I’m going to shut down here and pack my work bag. I have a flight in a few hours so I’m going to go finish my packing. Time to pour another cup of the java:) Have a great week and I’m sure I’ll have a few good stories to share soon.

Soccer, Lilacs and a few Updates…
Ah, outdoor soccer season has been underway and after a couple of wins we have dropped a few games by one goal. Defense is on point but we are having issues finding the back of the net. I did actually score a goal last week which is a rare thing since I play defense. The World Cup has been great to watch and enjoy with so many friends of mine. I also wanted to report that the lilac wine is fermenting nicely and if it tastes like it smells it should be wonderful.
On the movie front we’ve been prepping for the August releases of “Figure in the Forest” and “Heaven’s Neighbors” that can be pre-ordered on amazon.com, Walmart and many online retailers. Feel free to call your favorite retailer, rental house. After that is “The Patchwork Girl of OZ” and “Judges Special Edition” in September so stay tuned.
PR has been in full swing that I’m to play Jesus in the film “In Our Time” and I hope to have shoot dates this week. I think cameras may roll in July 2010 here and I will let everyone know. I’ve also accepted a role in a film that shoots end of this month. It looks as if I will be gone on my BDay which is nice because I might miss out on the black balloons and such:) I will tell you all more about the film soon but I’m excited because it is a comedy.
So it has been script reading, script doctoring and movie development. We still don’t know the final resolution on our LA legal dealings but we should end of the month or 1st of July.
Here are a couple nice interviews coming from the “In Our Time” project.

Look for some upcoming PR on “Wild Michigan” and “A State of Hate” coming soon.
In heavy post we have “Locked in a Room,” “Renovation” and “Outside the Wire” so the work continues.
Have a great week!
