What's Up - Rogers Orion Talent Agency

I'm now repped by the Rogers Orion Agency.

We talked over email about making some noise, and here's a gif he sent me.

So...have your people talk to my people?

Wrapped - Hart of Dixie

I just had the pleasure of returning to Hart of Dixie as Big Tom.

Once again Bluebell was an absolute delight, in no small part due to the efforts of the cast and crew.

In one day I felt like a part of the community there, and from what I understand that's pretty rare.

My contributions - buffoonery, awkward flirting, & repartee.

I hope you're looking forward to the episode...I'll post the air date once it nears.

Wrapped - ESPN commercial shoot

I recently had the pleasure of working with delightful actress Caroline Macey (Grey's Anatomy, Party Down, Medium), cinematographer Charles Papert (Key & Peele), and director Behn Fannin (Bitchy Resting Face, music videos galore) on a commercial shoot. 

I got to play a Jason-like serial killer, swapping gruesome deaths for silliness. Everyone involved was a delight, and I can't wait to see if ESPN has the good sense to pick it up.

New Content - 'Kick Back' photos and music video by Mustard Pimp (Dim Mak Records)

Mustard Pimp brings us a niche banger with their neo-gabber song 'Kick Back', and for their music video Behn Fannin resurrected the 90's in this love story between Erica McIntire and me. Lucky for us, Caroline Macey stopped by the set and snapped some shots.

Check out what VICE magazine has to say about it.

“I won’t even try to explain all the weird things going on in this video.”
