Tactless
Good news… just shot a guest spot on a new sketch show for Russell Simmons’ “All Def Digital” Youtube channel, called TACTLESS. Funny script, lots of ad libs and improvisation on set. Watch for it here before the end of the year, they say. I’m beginning to think that I may have a career playing…

February News
Found out the web-based talk show I co-host has been “renewed…” if you can call it that in web terms. What that means in practical terms is that we’ve been picked up for an additional four episodes that will shoot in the next week. This is under the SAG New Media contract, such as it…
