Sorry it's been so long since the last update. It's been a hell of
a year. I've done some modeling, some acting, and a lot of just plain
working. Thanks to Hunter Engineering for the print work. They needed
a guy to photograph pressing a button, and they chose me. It's all
in the wrist, what can I say. Also, last month I was an extra for
a day for the new movie, "Bill." Now you can play the Kevin
Bacon game and connect me with Jessica Alba. She wasn't on set the
day I was there. Oh well, maybe next time.
Big News! : The final edit of "Deadwood Park" is complete.
Those of you itching for a look at it can check out the teaser trailer
or even the new theatrical trailer at www.wickedpixel.com,
or have even better luck at their myspace site. Next week is the premiere
of "Savage Harvest 2: October Blood" in which I was a crew
member, ... remember I died in the first one so ... no acting for
me. I'm excited, though. It should be a good time at The Chase Park
Plaza Cinema.

After many negotiations, the owners of the billboards have decided
to "not sign off on the liability." This means the publicity
stunt for US Cellular is a no go. Saint Louis Entertainment and my
agent, Talent Plus, Inc. have worked very hard on this project, and
I thank them for the hard work. Still in the pipeline is possible
print work (newspaper/magazine ads) yet to be negotiated, and there
is the possibility of doing something else in place of the billboard
stunt.
I am personally upset about this development because it was the last
bit of good news I told my mother before she passed away earlier this
month. My friends and family have been excited to see me up there,
and plans to come and visit me at the billboard will not happen. I
feel a bit embarrassed about getting so excited about it myself, but
this is the way it goes. This is a hard business, and I've known that
for a while now. It's not going to get any easier. I'll tell you this
though, I ain't f**kin' givin' up. Somebody out there holla Hell YEAH!

I have been hired to be a representative for a new cellular phone
company coming to the Saint Louis area in late July 2005. I cannot
reveal the name of the company yet, but you probably have noticed
some signage around town asking, "Does St. Louis really need
another cell phone company?" I will be up 70 feet in the air,
on a billboard, living for one week over highway 170. The billboard
is located just north of St. Charles Rock Road, on the left as you're
heading north. I will have a cell phone, high-speed internet, and
plenty of SPF 30, as the summer days here tend to be on the toasty
side. Come on by and honk at me if you want. Just don't cause any
fender benders. I just need to find things to do while I'm up there.
Any suggestions are welcome, so email me. Have a great summer!

I have been cast as an extra in a commercial for a local Saint Louis
grocery store called Schnucks. It tapes on June 14.
The AB commercial is now airing nation wide till July 4th. It's the
commercial where the two Clydesdale teams travel cross country from
the East and West Coasts, and meet in the heartland under the Gateway
Arch, here in STL. I am in the big crowd scene at the end, if you
see me then you have miracle eyes, 'cause my head is as big as a pixel.
Deadwood Park has wrapped, and is now is post production. I really
cannot wait for you to see it. With the scary scenes, WWII flashback
war sequences, and a 120 year old abandoned amusement park .. it's
worth a look. Check out the guy playing Jake! He's awesome.

I have been cast in an Anheuser-Busch national commercial,
shooting either 5/9 or 5/10. The setting is 4th of July, and I would
imagine it will be televised around that time. If there are more details,
I’ll let you know!

I am nearing completion of my work as a lead actor on Deadwood
Park. The shoot has been nothing short of amazing. This is the best
movie I have worked on. The dedicated crew and talent have come together
and have made something that the audiences will not forget. I can’t
wait for you to see this movie!
I would like to thank everyone involved with Deadwood Park for his
or her hard work. We all have had our jobs to do, and seeing it all
get done (and done right) is the coolest thing. The cast and crew
have become not just a team, but also a family. I will miss everyone
when this is over, but I take comfort in the fact that we will do
it again.
As for other projects, I still get the occasional audition. My concentration
this summer will be working and saving up for a move to California,
hopefully this Fall 2005. If any other developments happen, I will
post them here.
Thanks, Fans, … you all keep me going! J
