“Trigger Finger” is a full-length micro-budget feature in which I play one of the two leads. There’s a screening on April 10th at 9pm. I would be honored if you were to attend.

“Trigger Finger” screening in LA in April

Not scary after all!

These are the breaks. I just got word from the casting director at “American Horror Story” that they cut my scene from next week’s episode. I’ll still get paid, I just won’t get credit (or be on TV). So it goes. I had a blast working on the show, and now that my scene won’t air, it means I could be on it again as someone else!

Onward and upward. Thanks everyone for your support.

Also, Happy Thanksgiving!

Scary!

Look out! I’m going to be a co-star* on “American Horror Story,” one of the best new TV shows this season. I couldn’t be happier.

Be warned, this is a scary frickin’ show.

*”co-star” = “very small part”

Where I’ve been

So things are starting to pick up here in sunny Los Angeles.

  • I’ll be appearing on the new Comedy Central series “Jon Benjamin Has a Van” this summer, playing an Alien Prosecutor on Episode 4.
  • The film “Trigger Finger”, in which I play one of the two leads, will finish post-production soon, hopefully appearing in a festival or two and on Netflix by the end of the year.
  • Also, check out “First Time Therapy”, a comedy short starring myself and fellow Groundlings classmate Katie Elsaesser.

Some highlights of my first year in LA:

  • I booked 36% of my auditions.
  • I shot six student projects (mostly USC).
  • I signed with a theatrical agent.
  • I advanced to “Writing Lab” at the Groundlings.
  • I joined SAG.

Not too shabby.
