A few years back, a “little feller” (his words, not mine), decided to introduce the world to big ol’ me, and I’ll be damned if laughs weren’t had! As someone whose main drive has always been to entertain, it was incredible to stand beside one of the best in the biz and do exactly that for a couple of minutes. Big thanks always to @craigyferg for that first push back into doing exactly what I love!

The biggest problem facing shelter dogs isn’t lack of money or food, but rather a lack of visibility to the people who may most want to have them in their homes.
.
.
I hope that when you see posts of dogs who need homes, you’ll “like”, “share”, or “save” those posts, so that the algo will amplify them and we can get united with the families they so greatly need.
.
.
When you think “there’s nothing i can do”, just remember - you can always Amplify! You have the power right there in your hands. I hope you’ll use it!

Meet PETUNIA (A131734) - a 2-ish year old Black Lab mix!
.
Petunia is a very high-energy, playful pup. She adores hikes and fetch and LOVES water. When given a kiddie pool, she will claim it as her own, often choosing simply to lie down in it and enjoy the cool water.
.
She does well in our Playgroups, and has a “Rough/Rowdy” playstyle, often bumping other rowdy pups with her nose, and open-mouth wrestling with them as well. When she is not comfortable with the level of play she’s receiving, she will generally give a vocal correction.
.
On walks, she will occasionally pull towards other dogs she sees, because she is very social.
.
I would advise some leash training for an adopter taking Petunia home. She is happy to take a leash, and will happily walk with you, but teaching her the finer points of leash control would be beneficial for you both!
.
All in all, she’s a very sweet pup who loves to play and loves to be close (even when wet-so be careful!).
.
If this g seems like she might be a match for your home, please come meet her @burbankanimalshelter, Tues-Saturday between 12p and 4p.

I done won an award!
.
Backstory: in the old times, the years before Covid, I met @bulldozerdalton and @adam.moses at an incredible acting school run by @josephpearlman. I admired the drive of these guys, and could tell that with their curiosity and dedication to the work, they’d be a pair to watch.
.
A few years later, they started their company @hotlunchproductions - creating actor reels that were a step beyond what others were doing. Together with the actor, they created bespoke scenes and shorts. Hot Lunch provided crew, cast, sets, lighting, writing, directing, sound - all the elements to bring the actor’s concept to life. I engaged the guys and love the work we created together.
.
In the years since, Jacob and Adam have grown their company, hired more creatives (Writers, Directors, DPs, Stunt Coordinators, etc) and currently have plans for shoots not only across the LA area, but across the pond in London, UK. Occasionally, they even call your boy to step in as an actor. This year, Hot Lunch created 40+ productions, including festivaled shorts as well as their first feature film, and nominated cast and crew for a slew of awards at their annual Award Show, The Hotties.
.
I was honored to accept the award for Best Supporting Actor, a category filled with stirring performances, for my turn as a Congressman with a dark secret. I loved stepping back on set with these friends, meeting some of the new folks they’ve brought in (like MONSTER AD/Dir/Writer/Actor @alchemisstic ) and working opposite @z.a.v.e.n_ from whose mind this character first emerged.
.
With Hot Lunch, Jacob and Adam have done much more than just build a company, they’ve cultivated a wonderfully supportive and inspiring community of artists who continue to call on one another to work and play in this crazy land of make believe. The annual Hotties are becoming such a family reunion, that next year I might just have to bring barbecue. We have fun. (photo w/ @sidneyrubino as evidence)
.
So, a big thank-you to the guys for bringing me in, to those who voted for honoring me with this award, and to everyone in the community for choosing to let your artistry shine in the world.

Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment, maybe I enjoy getting beat up and blown up, or maybe I just have a punchable face - any way you wanna put it, I’m available for fighting/shooting/basic badassery. Get your big bald baddie right here.

Meet Big ANDRE (A141226) - a 2 year old, 85lb PitBull/Catahoula Leopard Hound mix.
.
Andre is a gentle giant from what we’ve seen in the shelter thus far. He has a big bark, but he would rather not scare you off… as he wants you to cuddle him!
.
This guy LOVES to be petted. He does a little exploration, but quickly lies down to do some basking and invite belly rubs.
.
.
We haven’t had him in playgroup just yet - he does seem nervous at times when other dogs get close to his kennel, so a single-dog home may be best.
.
I have no doubt, tho, that this dude would be plenty happy to cuddle up next to you on the couch, and keep unwanted folks away from you when out on walks.
.
If this sounds like your type of BFF, come visit Andre @burbankanimalshelter Tues-Saturday from 12-4p.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again - when the @hotlunchproductions boys call, I will answer. It’s been so great to watch their development as filmmakers over the past few years. The time they’ve spent bringing actors’ visions to life has paid off well for them, and I’m happy to be among those they’ll call to bring these short stories to life. �.
This is an excerpt from a piece envisioned by Zaven McCarty. He wanted to have a tense “Spotlight”-type moment with a young, brash journalist facing off against an established authority.
.
Fun to be play the foil here. If you’re an actor looking to bring your own story to life, get in touch with Hot Lunch. They’ll treat you right.

2021 - 1ADing Legend of the White Dragon - a scene which was originally unplanned, but a dream for our friend Jason that we were happy to make happen. He got to work with Michael Madsen, a once-in-a-lifetime chance to play opposite his hero.
.
He was hyped for the day, and even more so with thoughts of being reunited with Madsen at the Premiere. We didn’t know we’d lose Jason a year later.
.
Today, I received word that Michael has also passed.
.
We have finally completed color and sound on the movie, and hope to find a distributor soon. Maybe once we do, that premiere can happen - but there will be two empty seats to match the two empty places in our hearts for these guys.
.
What a journey this film has been - long and arduous, but we made friends along the way. I just wish we could have all crossed the finish line together. Though, for a film about inner battles being waged and the pain that comes along with them, perhaps a fairy tale ending was never in the cards.
.
Godspeed to Michael and Jason both. You are legends… and Legends Never Die.

Fun little turn on @boldandbeautifulcbs - met some great folks there! This show is in its 38th season, and will now move away from CBS Television City while that studio undergoes a refit. It feels AWESOME to have played a small part in its history!
.
.
Fantastic to share a scene with @lisayamada … that Luna definitely has something up her sleeve! And Director Tony Pascarelli was a joy to collab with - didn’t check to see if I got a props credit… but that’s a story for another time.
