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!

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.

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.

I guess I’d better watch The Departed while I can! Five Oscars in 2007!

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.)

I don’t really have as few as 10 “favorite” movies, I certainly couldn’t rank them, and I’m sure there are some I have yet to see from the past 25 years that could become favorites.

Keep a sharp eye out for the many Texas actors in the Paramount+ series 1923, which filmed in Texas last summer. Here’s Austin actor Bobbie Grace in a scene with Harrison Ford and Robert Patrick.

In case you blinked at 20 seconds into the 1923 Season 2 trailer, that’s me on the right, collecting laundry from Donald Whitfield (Timothy Dalton).

Season premiere on February 23. Only on @ParamountPlus.bsky.social
