Hip-hoppin' in Shreveport

I'm in the poppin' city of Shreveport, LA, auditioning for the lead villain role (hey, it's what I do!) in a Val Kilmer film called Microwave Park. [Update: now it's called Streets of Blood.] This is the ghostly view from my hotel suite, courtesy of my naff iPhone camera.

Just found out I got a callback for a fun SWA commercial, playing a rock star lead singer, back in Austin today. Unfortunately, I don't have wings, so I'll miss that.

Dang.

Must mean that I was intended to book this sucker!

The play's the thing

After 20 years (?!!) away from the stage, I've joined director Paula Russell's talented Austin troupe for a production of "Shards". It's the third of the five-play quintology "The Love Sonatas," written by Manuel Zarate.

We'll be performing in the Rollins Theater at downtown Austin's The Long Center. I have a lead role opposite the lovely and talented Beth Burroughs, playing a reformed murderous soldier.

I don't think of myself as a "leading man" type, but Paula assured me that I was "pulling it off wonderfully." So there you go. Now brimming with confidence, I step out into that good night.

More relative than this—the play's the thing
Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the King."
