Colorado and Garden of The Gods

  Michelle and I took off for a good friend's wedding in Colorado; so we decided to make a quick vacation out of it, as well.  I won't go into the flight, hotel, etc., mishaps; but let's just say, I am not a fan of Orbitz and Frontier isn't far from the front of the line to be pushed over a cliff, as well. Now, that I got that out of the way!  Colorado is about as beautiful as it comes. … [Read more...] about Colorado and Garden of The Gods

Should I move to Los Angeles?

I am reposting some of my older blogs from my old website, Enoughacting.blogspot.com; and I will be giving some updates.  This is one!   Should I move to Los Angeles? Over the past 2 - 3 years our industry has had some drastic changes.  Years ago, the only place to be an actor was in Los Angeles; so we packed our bags and moved in waves to fulfill our dreams.  This is not the case … [Read more...] about Should I move to Los Angeles?

We don’t know, what we don’t know.

We don't know what we don't know.   As soon as rules or techniques become fixed and rigid, that Method becomes unchangeable.   Change is inevitable because we grow every day.  If you don't change a little every day you should be! :)   Our cells are constantly changing, every time we learn something new we have a different POV and our synapses (the connection between neurons) increase  and … [Read more...] about We don’t know, what we don’t know.

Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife, best frien Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife, best friend, and ride or die—though hopefully it never comes to that 🤷🏻‍♂️.

15 years ago today, we said “I do.” Michelle’s came out more like a question, but in her defense, our priest had a speech impediment.

Life isn’t always what you expect. It can get hard. But when you’ve got someone you love and trust by your side, nothing life throws at you really matters.

Every bit of pain or pleasure is better with you next to me. I love you, Mich. And I look forward to every tomorrow with you and our little psycho ❤️❤️❤️

No. You don’t have to have acting class to succ No.  You don’t have to have acting class to succeed….. BUT…. Acting class isn’t just a “nice to have”—it’s where you sharpen your craft, learn a shared vocabulary, and build skills to speak the same language as your peers. Even if you think you don’t need it, having a strong foundation ensures you’re ready to bring your best to any role. 🎭✨ Let’s keep growing together!

AI is getting scary good. But here’s the thing — we already couldn’t tell what was real. Now it’s about to get even messier.
Be cautious. Don’t send money just because a voice or face looks familiar. Don’t trust every headline. Don’t click every link.
The world’s about to get wacky — keep your eyes open and your instincts sharper. 🧠⚡️
