So, I got a bit part in a movie starring Chris Kattan recently. I realize that sounds pretentious, and believe me when I say I’m not one of those d-bags that loves the craft of acting. I know nothing about it and it shows in the limited amount of work I’ve done in front of the camera. My acting experience dates back to  making funny short sketches with my friends.

At this years DeadCenter Film Festival, a short that was directed by my friend Joe Cappa was accepted into the Comedy Shorts category. I’m proud of this because when I went to the screening it got the best reaction from the crowd. The other “comedy” shorts were done by real film makers and were focused more on the craft and cinematography than the jokes. Our film was the opposite. It was me and talented super-actor Matt Brown (an amazing person that is a better actor than anyone in Hollywood today. It blows my mind that he is not a millionaire. He is very good. And he has a real movie which he wrote and stars called, Rainbow around the Sun, check it out). Aside from being very talented, Matt is wickedly funny and played my opposite in this short. Joe Cappa took care of making it look good, while Matt and I made it funny. I’m proud of this little piece, which if you want to, you can watch here.

Later this year I was asked to play an asshole comedian in Roark Comptons: The Motion Picture. It was written and shot by the fine gentleman from Single Tree Productions. Who are now spread out across the country. I’m excited for them to break into the industry so I don’t have to do shit. I’m just going to ride their coat-tails! Anywho, this film is going to be screening at the 51st Street Speakeasy the first Thursday in September, 2011 and I’m excited to see how it turned out.

Now, about the Chris Kattan joint; my friend Lance McDaniel co-wrote and directed this movie which is called, “Just Crazy Enough”. It’s a family friendly comedy and I had the honor of playing “Laundry Truck Driver”. I was given one line and two great sight gags. It was amazing seeing how real movies are made (by “real” I mean a movie with a budget, paid actors, crew… tons of professionals). I made lots of new friends and Lance was amazing at juggling all the tasks he had to deal with as the director. I’m very excited for this movie to come out. While I’m not going to pack my bags and move to Hollywood, I will happily act in anything you have around the OKC metro area.

Here is a picture of my friend Greg Elwell. Carri and I had dinner with him and his lovely wife last night. They are great people and Greg is one of the funniest people I know. It both saddens me and elates me that he is not a stand-up comic (I’m sad because he is hilarious, elates me because I don’t need the competition). Also, I apologize that it is sideways, I’m not very good with WordPress.

I’m going to try to update my blog on a regular basis, I know I’ve neglected it for some time. Anywho, if you like jokes in 140 characters or less, you can follow me on Twitter. I post pretty often there (but most of the jokes are dirty, so be warned). I love you all.
