October 21
. . . Table read of "Reform" by Jamal
Caesar, NYU Grad Thesis Film. Always happy to help those NYU Grad
Students.
October 20 & 21 . . . "Toymaker" demo recording. My
first studio singing work. I'm thinking some more singing lessons
are in order.
October 19 . . . Episode #2, "Intelligent Design" debuts
on 50todeath.com. Trying
to gauge the market for magic wristbands. www.50todeath.com.
October 16 . . . Great review for 50ToDeath
on tubefilter.tv news. Terrific interview and
they compared us to "Mad About You".
October 11
. . . Citicard Spot back on Network TV. I guess
in this economic crisis it's safer to bring back oldies rather
than shoot newies.
Thanks Citi.
October 10
. . . Law and Order Criminal Intent Shoot as
an irate guest. Shot in the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
It's amazing
how oblivious
or totally dismissive
those who can afford this hotel are to things happening around them. Imagine,
if you will, people unable to notice cameras, crew of 25, about 30 background,
three scripted principals, lighting instruments and stands, and a number
of people closely watching monitors in the rather compact lobby.
WOW!!
September 26 . . . Screening - "Unspooled", the
unraveling of a student film. Keir Moreano did a great job documenting
the unfortunate shoot and the unmade
feature
film.
September 23 . . . Carlos Serrao Shoot. Norm in iconic "Man
and the Sea" set-up,
complete with panoramic water's edge backdrop, surrounding fans and wind and
rain. Rather a fun shoot. Can't wait to get the shots back.
September 18 . . . Actual 50todeath prelaunch. Beta testing
our website for bugs and reactions and reactions to bugs.
September 15
. . . Launch of 50todeath.com .
. . home to “50 To Death” webisodes. First episode
released: “Norm’s Thesis.” Expect to get some
hits and start spreading the word.
September 10 . . . PSA shoot as a college professor for “Feed
America”, directed by Tony Kaye (American History X). If
they use my segment, it’ll be great face time. Tony Kaye
doesn’t say much to actors. Does a good deal of pointing.
September 9 . . . Offered principal role in feature
film “SubterraNYa”.
Unfortunately it was non-union and I had to turn it down. Loved
the people (director/writer, and the producer.) Hope to work with
them in the future.
July 29
. . . Industrial shoot for Pfizer as a psychiatrist interviewing
Bi-polar and Schizophrenic patients. Lots of copy, lots of teleprompter
work. Rather a boring shoot.
July 15 - August 3 . . . Originated the role of Norm Yablonsky
in “The Higher
Education Of Khalid Amir” by Monica Bauer. Six performances
in the Midtown International Theatre Festival.
July 9
. . . Photo shoot with Paul Aresu, famed for his edgy commercial
ads with famous sports figures. Got an intense headshot which is
on my photos page.
July 1
. . . Man on the street improvised interview
for “The Onion.” Likely
the last time I’ll shoot something for “The Onion.” They
basically tell you what to improvise and what’s funny. Isn’t
that funny?!
