Liars’ League (subsequently) recorded the story I read at their May 2nd event, and said recording can now be heard at their blog.

I hope you’ll take a moment to give it a listen. It’s a great monologue, and I really enjoyed reading it.

Clorox 2: “Mom Will Never Know”

This spot was so much fun. Yes, I did get to shoot children. The girl who played my daughter was a superlative trash-talker.

I’m so pleased that A) They used the take where I impulsively took a sip of coffee, and B) They didn’t cut my (great) line.

If you haven’t watched it yet, I hope you will. I think it’s pretty great.

I really should have mentioned before: I joined the Screen Actors Guild for my work in a GE “Ecomagination” commercial.

Around the same time I filmed a Carmax ad in Baltimore. I’ll see about putting these up soon.

In at least one home in America…

…one line from a commercial I was in has become something of a catchphrase.

This pleases me. Probably more than it should.

Jawbone Contest: “Doctor’s Orders”

The more views, the more likely we are to win.

Although… I’ve been contemplating these contests lately. They get thousands of people to make commercials for them, and the makers of the commercials get tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of people to watch the commercials! They don’t care about getting a high-quality commercial, it’s all about getting the brand out!

Another short film with the guys I did the FedEx spec commercial with.

I do love dying on-screen.

In other news, two auditions today: A nerdy guy in a West Virginia lottery commercial, and an obsessive neuroscientist in a short film called Braaains!

I’m very pleased with how this turned out.
