Some friends pointed out that I haven’t updated my news section in quite some time. I’ve decided to use a newer, better method of posting news now, so hopefully I will be posting more often. And I may make this a little more diary-y. While diary-y is a word I can get away with writing on the internet, it’s certainly something that would get the nuns slapping my hand if I tried in the real world.
The friends mentioned at the beginning of this post would be none other than former castmates from The Three Musketeers. They all seem to be doing well, and hopefully I will get to see them more often.
As for an explanation of why I haven’t been posting alot recently, I have two excuses: marriage and work.
The first excuse involves me marrying a beautiful girl named Shelley on August 2nd. There’s quite a lot to talk about with that: planning, the honeymoon, the day itself, etc. so look for that here.
The second excuse is more than just your standard “I’ve been busy trying to feed myself” work excuse. See, for the last year I’ve been working at a a private investigation firm. This summer we worked on a gigantic case that involved me going with the executives and meeting with Senators and Congressman. The funniest thing is, that’s not a joke. I’ve been getting compressed life experience this last year. I’ve been to Illinois to testify at the governor’s office, I’ve been out on surveillances, worn a wire undercover, done background checks on CEOs, and other PI-stuff.
It’s completely wild, completely random. I’m sure I will be writing more about it.
What’s also very crazy is the fact that I have gotten quite alot of publicity from it as well. My co-workers and I were featured in an article in the New York Times, and mentioned in a recent article in Time Magazine about cool jobs. In fact, next month my female co-workers will be featured in Cosmopolitan magazines. I wasn’t pretty enough.
So now I am contimplating how to leverage this into my acting career, which I have been largely ignoring for almost a year. My dear friend Valentina (not Val nor Tina) suggested a one-man show. I really don’t know.
So welcome back, I suppose. Let’s see if this starving actor can find some food.
