With the rise of AI and... well, everything's that is happening, really—I urge you all to read. There's a dismantling of Humanities for a reason, so you should read: fiction, poetry, History, everything. Take with you the lessons of previous generations, make your life richer, learn new things.

I'm currently hosting a casting call for a short film, "Slash Your Way To The Top!"

It's a satirical self-help infomercial for classic slashers. (Think Micheal Meyers). This casting call is for voice over; no on-camera work! Deadline is September 26th.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

I've been outta the game for a bit, but some of my favorite roles to date have consisted of 2 to 10 lines where I got to be Off-The-Wall levels of Ridiculous™

If you think you're above playing background or bit parts, then maybe you should consider a career other than acting.
