I just got back from Austin, where I attended the TXMPA's Lobby Day at the Capitol in support of enhanced film incentives in Texas. It was SO good to see so many members and supporters of our film industry show up to let their voices be heard. I made the trip down with fellow actors Cassie Shea Watson (Acclaim Talent) and Anjanette Clewis (Linda McAlister Talent). While there, we ran into some old friends and also had the opportunity to make some new ones. I'm feeling very positive about the future of film in Texas!

I just finished a long weekend of shooting for the short film "Simulacrum". Did I say a long weekend? That may have been an understatement. It was a very, very long weekend. But, that's okay. I like to work. It was a lot of fun, and everyone in the cast and on the crew was great! I think I'm spoiled, now, after being treated so well on set. Thanks, guys!

I just finished up ADR for the "Ally" trailer today down at the sound studio at UTA. What can I say? Quick. Easy. And nice getting to work with Rachel, again. I'm looking forward to seeing the trailer and the prospect of shooting the feature this summer.

I have been cast in the short film "Simulacrum." In the distant future, mankind has migrated to another planet to escape the uninhabitable toxic wasteland that the Earth had become. After a number of years, it seems that mankind has put the new planet, Ourobus, on a path to destruction as well. A group of elite minds developed Operation Genesis. The operation entails sending Franklin Gen to Earth to research what happened to the original planet, in order to gain valuable insight for saving Ourobus from the same fate. After years of research on Earth, and even with the company of a beautiful helper android named Andrea, Frank longs to go home to Ourobus to see his family. Upon arrival at Ourobus, Frank's world is turned upside down when he discovers the world has aged 47 years, while he has remained young. Frank then learns the truth from his creator that he was biomechanically engineered to carry out Operation Genesis on the uninhabitable planet and that the family he thought he had is not his. I will be playing the lead role of Franklin Gen.

I just completed another great weekend of shooting on the short film "The Platinum Peacemaker." That should just about wrap up principle photography. I've seen some of the footage from the first shoot, and it looks amazing! Thanks to Scott, Bryant, Glenn, and the rest of the cast and crew for their talent, expertise, and professionalism. I can't wait to see the finished product!

Well, I booked a commercial for Riverwind Casino, so I'll be heading to Norman, OK, in the morning for a 2:00 wardrobe fitting. Then, I'll likely hang around until I shoot my part on Wednesday. I will be the Hemi-powered truck driver who pulls up to a red light only to be taunted and ultimately humiliated by a little old lady who is serious about winning.
