I created a YouTube page that contains some of the commercial, industrial and web shoots I have done.

Overexposed
I've been lucky lately. As many of you know, I love to act. Most of the year I fulfill my desire to do so by being in a play or two or doing some improv here and there. But every so often I get to make a commercial, take a small part in a local indie feature or appear in an industrial vignette.
But right now, the flood gates are open. Four short parodies I was in played all week during Novell's Brainshare at the Salt Palace. Two versions of an anti-tobacco commercial started airing last week (a 60 and a 30). And, this week or next ... wait for it ... a Check City commercial starts up. So, watch for me Utah readers. I'm everywhere right now. I'm big. I'm a thing.
But not really. I just liked saying that for a second. I do, honestly, love acting and though it's not Hollywood it is a blast to be working. If you see me, let me know.
Oh, and here is a link to the Novell parodies. The ones I'm in are 24x7, Lost, CSI and Desperate IT Guys. I was told they are more funny if you are an IT person or involved in the computer industry.

If you think I suck, spare me the comments. Just tell me in person.

I seriously forgot
I forgot how to log into this thing. I've been trying since Christmas. Anyway, what did I miss? What's going on?
As for me, I'm in love. I'll give details maybe never. But if I do decide to elaborate, it'll be when I'm damn good and ready.

Comedy
Some things that are funny to me right now:
1. Repeating the last thing you said, or some variation thereof. "I won't accept that as an answer, Edward. I won't accept that." Also effective if a faux condescending or inspirational voice is used. "Maybe Christmas will come early this year. (Then more meaningfully) Maybe it will ..."
2. Words that sound dirty but aren't such as: climmit, conch, vondruke, titmouse, etc.
3. Right now, doing something for a really long time to where it gets awkward and then funny again is very hot.
4. Talking in a very deep self important voice.
5. Making poetic referrences to weather as a person: "Lady Winter has let loose with her chill breath. It escapes her mouth with the force of one hundred icy angels glistening the nape of my neck and making it sheen like Walden Pond on December 28th." Can also be done in conjunction with number 4 for extra points and laughs.
6. When you burn somebody the normal instinct is to say "Burn" or "Zing," I know. But, it's even better when you say something that doesn't make sense like "Glangin" or "Baazowee!"
7. Jovially discussing your "serious" problems or those of your own children is high comedy. "I'm grateful that Hugh has some sort of stunted development and can't crawl yet. It's perfect for the holidays! This may the first year in many that we haven't worried about babies pulling ornaments off trees or ripping open presents. After the New Year we will take him to a specialist." (As said by C. Clark)
8. Really loud whispering.
9. Blaming terrorism or general malaise on animals. (See Stephen Colbert and bears or my own treatise on snake terrorism.)
Follow these rules and you will be the life of any party or ho-down.
