We completed filming "Strain" today, after shooting all weekend. What a jerk my character, Tommy, is! Ah, yes, and what an easy role for me. Hardly any acting involved. I'm kidding, of course. Let's see... On Friday, I filmed my guitar-playing scene, and I smoked an entire pack of cigarettes. Gross. I have never smoked before, so I had to actually learn how on set. My lungs are still mad at me. On Saturday, we shot the comic book store scene, where I got into it with the manager and gave Jake some of my good advice. And on Sunday, I broke up with my girlfriend, Janine, and violated her toothbrush. What fun!

We shot the short film "Wealth Before Patriotism" today. I played a tail gunner named Cagney who is injured when his B25 bomber is shot down during the Battle of the Coral Sea. The plane crashes on an island, and the surviving crew members are picked off one by one by the Japanese. Delirious from the pain of his injuries, Cagney drifts in and out of consciousness. He hallucinates that a beautiful woman is dancing before him, only to realize too late that it is a Japanese soldier coming in for the kill. He is decapitated in a most dramatic fashion. I think I still have blood in my ears and hair.

I have been cast as a member of a B25 bomber crew in "Wealth Before Patriotism." It's a short WWII film about the crew of a B25 bomber that is shot down in 1942, during the Battle of the Coral Sea. Anyone have a bomber's jacket I can borrow?

I filmed a scene for the new ABC pilot "A House Divided" today. I got to play a wheat farmer from northern Kansas. It was a long day, but I had a good time working with some new people, as well as others that I worked with on Walker, Texas Ranger. I was also a stand-in for Jason Wiles.

I have been cast as Tommy in the short film "Strain." That's all I can say at this point, as the details are very hush, hush. As they say, if I told you any more, I'd have to kill you. By the way, this is the audition I went on after shooting "Ritchie's Crew" on Saturday, so I guess the voice helped. Sweet!

I filmed my scene for "Ritchie's Crew" today. It was a lot of fun, and the cast and crew were great to work with. We filmed in an attic/loft above a pawn shop in Denton, and it was covered in dust. Soon after leaving the shoot, the dust caught up with me, and my voice was shot. I spent the rest of the evening sounding like Anne Ramsey. "Ooowwwen!" I went straight from the shoot to another audition, which was cool. Maybe the raspy voice will help, though, since the role I was reading for was a smoker. Nice. Anyway, I did get to die in the film, but alas, it wasn't on screen. Bummer.
