Progress...


So in the last week, i have been really searching for an extra job. But there is nothing exciting about that.

On Sunday, I was casted in "Roomies," Directed by Jason Hawkins. The one day shoot was full of laughs, and well, with Jason, it always is. It was a pleasure to work with him again. I played a charter named Daniel, a pothead who would rather spend what money he has on weed then help pay the bills at the apartment with the other room mates. This was fun and bloody all at the same time. As a special treat I got the privilege to work with the beautiful Hollie Olsen who played a grumpy landlord out of patience. This was definitely a good day.

The next day one of my highly anticipated audition was here. My hopes are less skewed knowing that it was a callback. But to keep it under wraps, i anxiously await the results as well as the next auditions to come!

You know i was thinking back the other day, and i realized something. Our own strength comes from others, but more or less from the fact that we know that we have support. I have spent the last two years piecing back together my life after being railroaded, and i couldn't have done it without the people around me. Even Now I am struggling in a good way and still don't know what the future holds for me. I can only look up to the positive changes i have made in my life and know that i am strong enough to continue fighting.

With My Deepest Feelings, i do want to thank my friends, the people i love, and my fans. I know your out there and you have my heart.

IMDB once again has made my day but posting my ratings as 22% increase in popularity. I am now ranked 102,201. Its only a matter of time when my hard work and your help will push me more into getting parts that will help me achieve an Oscar in 9 years. Thank you all!http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3615065/



Well Thats All For Now! See You in the Movies!

I'm Being Decent, but I'm Jonesing for a Part

Good News!!! I have landed the role of Daniel for "Roomies" and filming starts Sunday. Even better is i have got a call back for a web series for May 16th So Wish me luck.

So The last time I posted something, I was talking about trust. I think in a lot of way people will break your trust in life, but being able to rise above it is more important then getting upset at it.

You and I are connected. So whatever i am doing to you is only going to exasperate the situation. Plus when you have friends like mine, its difficult to stay mad about anything. So After a low point in the last week, i only look forward to the coming weeks.

I was able to interview at a grill yesterday. I am hoping for positive results. Well this is going to be a short blog...I need to sleep for my crusade for a job...


See you in the movies!

Who Let the Cat Out of the Bag!


Whoa !! (2005)



With a growing sense of urgency for a job, I decided to spend some of my time writing to my loyal fans or people i have forced to read my work...you know who you are. So this is it. As odd as this sounds I am going through another change in my life that i thought i wouldn't have to deal with until, well i became more successful as an actor;trust. In the past two weeks I have learned that people can't always be trusted. I am not talking about the terrible neighbor with the strange smell coming from her Oldsmobile, i'm talking about people you trust as friends and family. You would think that after this is all said and done these people would have your back.

Its hard to build trust when you feel its been tampered with, but its even harder when you feel the people you trusted the most have stepped on it. So I will pick up my distrust and put back the pieces once again. For without risk and struggle there is no success.

The Good news though is that "Roomies," Directed By Jason Hawkins, should begin filming real soon. I really like working with Jason. He makes everyday on set fun. So that is going to be exciting.

I'm going to be moving soon. Where? Somewhere in Oregon for now, but Soon LA. Hearing the opportunities L.A. is offering my fellow actors gets me all gitty and excited. But getting a regular Job is definitely going to help me pursue acting. Still, juggling again Acting, Modeling, Writing, Regular job and working out. (PS I have gotten lazy in my young age:))

With Mother Nature angry and all the crap we have put her through makes me wonder if the theory of "LA fault line" would happen while i'm there, or if i happens before.

With a Few Words from Yours Truly



In the past few years, i have grown as a person tremendously. I lost my cats, but i gained a lot of confidence. I think i fell in love with cinema when i was very young. Someone told me once, "you gotta start modeling, you know. If you can model, you can act. Acting is modeling and modeling is acting."

So thats where i got my start. I modeled for a couple years and didn't think much of it. Then a couple years ago, i began to take acting more seriously. Still I am going to have to find a job. I get it more and more. We all have to find a job we don't really want and live right? I love my friends but they are now pushing me to this conclusion. My reaction is to "find a job to fill up my savings," so i can focus on acting again.

I got my drive back today. God the gym is amazing. When i'm there and i am able to complete my reps, i feel like i have just conquered the world! Really Just the dumbbell, but still. With that said its not very difficult to see people i know out.

In the entertainment business, having some kind of popularity is a good thing. I was able to be on IMDB(Internet Movie Data Base), and watch as my popularity grew. This is called a starmetor. So if i am ever getting all excited about my star meter rank, its cause i am doing well. March 14th 2010 i ranked as an actor in popularity 3,303,417. Esh, it hurts just looking at the number, ow, ow and i keep looking at it.






From the Reenactment of "Closer."



As of April 11, 2010, i am ranked in popularity at 108,227! Believe me with the jump in popularity i wanted to celebrate. My goal now is to get a good movie on the IMDB so i have credits. Right now my list of movies i am in are as follows:



Roomies(Directed By Jason Hawkins) (In Production)-Supporting
Closer Reenactment Scene(Directed By Christian McPherson)(2010)-Lead "Dan"
Bloodlust (Directed By Gabriel Matreya)(2009)-Supporting Lead "Scott"
Extraordinary Measures(Directed By Tom Vaughn) (2009)-Featured Extra "Mail room"
Leverage Season 2 "The Lost Heir Job" (2009)-Extra "Bar Scene" and "Hospital"
PIG(Directed By Jason Hawkins) (2009-Supporting "Deeb"
The Tunnel(Directed by Jason Hawkins) (2009)-Extra "Undead"
Biamp Commercial (2008) -Supporting "Crew of Viva La Revolution"
Theatre Production of "Thats a good question."-Lead "Coffee Salesman"

So There you have it. My Short but definitely hard working experience i got on film and theater. I am looking forward to the next couple films coming up!

Its hard to fight for your dream, but its even harder if your discouraged. I have learned to get back and focused, and with all of my motivation and your help in keeping me motivated, I know we can see this dream a reality.

Its a Start...



(My Sister and I at my High School Graduation:))



The past couple day were discouraging for me. I lost a little bit of drive i had when i began acting. I know from time to time i have felt this way so i want to share something with you that has kept me going...

When i was 13 years old i was giving the opportunity to act in my drama classes first play of the year. The title of the play was "Thats a good Question." I remember people asking me What the name of the play was only to be struck with confusion at my answer.

I was cast at the lead character who was a coffee salesman. The plot was that this coffee salesman earnestly looking for people to sell coffee to only to get swept into each of the clients problems.

To this day i will never forget the way i felt on stage. Everyone on stage was alive and with me, but the crowd i couldn't see for i was in my element. I crave that element every time i watch a movie at the theater or see a performance at the local area.




(We haven't changed Much :) 04/11/2010)


My Agent has moved to Los Angeles with a few of the talent. I really wanted to be on that boat to go, but i have to tie up some lose ends before i go. My goal is by January I will be in L.A. Right now i am craving the spotlight as well as being somewhere like L.A. where my dream can be more realized. For now, i will work on me and go from there.

Upcoming is a short called "Roomies." Directed by Jason Hawkins. Should be filming in the next week or two. Should be fun and lively. I'm pretty excited to be working with Jason again.

Soon After "Yesterday," Directed by Tim Schroeder will be filming and casting. With any luck, ill land the part as well as another credit on my resume.

We grow and change everyday, yet somehow, as individuals we can better ourselves. The people around you make you, this is true. Don't every forget this. There has been a lot of people I forget to thank everyday but i do remember them, and will always keep them in my heart.


So I uploaded my first video when i was just starting out as an actor. I had just got my agent months ago. The Scene is from the Movie "Crash." Well enjoy peeps and Thanks for the support!


See you In the Movies!!!

Im growing older...but not up...and yet...im still short...




Therapy is hard. I don't know what it is going to take for me to get to a certain point where i can accept change and therapy is all about consistently changing.We are constantly changing as individuals so its easy to lose ourselves. I know as an actor, i have done this many times and its not easy to stay consistent with an everyday cycle.

I went on the internet the other day to look for a job. I am not landing acting jobs right now, so i need to find a regular job so i can afford to take time off for the acting. Its hard out there. Jobs seem scarce from the outside. But in reality I think employers are getting picky.

There are ways to find a job better then the normal online applying. I think when you apply online, its like dropping a dime in a wishing well. I have had over 6 interviews in the last month, and most of them were just a scams. Your chances of finding a cool cheap product online...awesome. But Finding a job...very slim.

My goal is to find a job as a personal assistant with someone. Even If i have to clean there house and do there groceries i will. That way i will have the flexibility to still keep acting. My fear is that i am not going to be able to keep a job while acting and end up having to give up on my dream. I digress...

While at the bar last weekend, one of my friends took a couple snap shots there... What do you think?





This week, its time for a lot of growth. I am blessed with friends who protect me no matter what shanannagans i get into. They have my back and i won't forget it ever. I know i'm not perfect, but for some reason my friends are. They are human nonetheless, but they are perfect to me. Thank you Guys!

So I had the chance to Audition for "Planning to Fail." My Hope is that the crew will look past my audition and see that i could pull off the role so well. I wasn't happy about this one. Normally I can walk out confident. This one, not so much. But who knows, maybe thats what they wanted. I was submitted for a lottery commercial so i will keep you updated.
In terms of my stories and writing...They will come...I am going to be working on my new story "Millionaire Man." A story about an offer that would be hard to refuse.

This blog is going to be full of pics, videos, trailers of upcoming movie's im in and such. I want you to follow me on my journey into Hollywood in a year. i want you to be excited when i book a part, and cordual when i dont get the role. Who knows, in nine years, i may still be writing the night i win my Oscar :).




Thank you For your support and spread the Blog! Follow Me so you get updates on the blog!!! Woot! See you in the Movies!!

A New Day...A New Blog...

So we really don't know what live does to you until you look back a bit. Of all the journey's i have experienced and all the live i seemed to have touch, i still fill a life unfulfilled. This i wouldn't say in a bad way but defiantly in a good way.

We grow, we live, but is it enough to say more? We could put growth and life in a stagnant or forward motion. But can we really say that are life is just the two:stagnant and forward...

Well this was just a test blog...I will get to the real blogs next time peeps!!! Thanks for reading!
