Based on IMDb "LIKES", George Clooney is about 7X more popular than me.
That sounds about right.

Here is a commercial that I filmed a few weeks ago.

All I want for Christmas is for Brett Favre to come back to the NFL. Houston needs a QB.

November 1st 2011
Every year (since 2008) I have decided to wake up all hung over the day after Halloween and celebrate the 1st of November. What is "the 1st of November" other than a day of listening to Christmas music and hanging up all of my Holiday decorations? NOTHING.

I had a pretty interesting “Welcome to Hollywood” moment on set yesterday.
I was on set playing a medical technician and there was a moment where I was tinkering with a device that required them to punch-in for a close-up on my hands. As soon as I heard that they needed to look at my hands I knew that there was going to be an issue.
I bite the sh#t out of my fingernails. This quickly became the talk of the set as the director, script supervisor, and make-up artist all huddled around my ten widdled digit-nails. Some measurements were taken of my hands and photos were snapped of my sleeves…thirty minutes later, my hand “stand-in” had been brought in for the device tinkering close-ups.

It was a bit embarrassing. WELCOME TO HOLLYWOOD!
I guess I’m done biting my fingernails…I will now be carrying a nail file with me at all times.

You know it is going to be a great day when you find a perfectly good Christmas tree next to the dumpster. I am so excited for the holiday season. There is something about the music, twinkling lights, and unselfishness that makes it my favorite time of the year. ONLY 101 days until THE 1ST OF NOVEMBER!!!

Thirst got the best of me at Universal Studios and I had to buy a Monster Energy Drink. It cost me $5.50. If my calculations are correct, I have $1,255,300.00 worth of Monster at my house. Unfortunately, that is not how it works.

If I worked a 9-5 job, July 2011 would be my ALL-TIME favorite month. There are five Fridays, five Saturdays and five Sundays. Half the month is practically a weekend. ENJOY!

I just landed a lead role in a movie that begins filming in three weeks. The role requires me to do a shirtless scene so I have begun the Men's Health SPARTACUS workout. It is by far the hardest circuit I have ever put my body through. Wish me luck!

Exactly one year ago...I left behind a fun job, an unimaginable party-lifestyle-perpetual-college-student gig, the most kick-ass friends in the world, and my amazing family. I honestly had a perfect life, but my heart was telling me to push out of my comfort zone, take a chance, and begin to accomplish something that I once thought was impossible. It's not.

Exactly one year ago…I arrived in Los Angeles. I moved into a 4-bedroom Hollywood house with some great guys from the Midwest. No one has ever come out here as clueless as I was. I may still be clueless…however, (back then) I had no headshots, no resumes, no demo reels, and even though I had been in a few movies, done about 20 commercials, and filmed a pilot for a T.V. show, I had NEVER AUDITIONED for anything EVER. I had no idea what to do. Of course, I fell on my face more than I would like to admit. However, I stayed positive, relaxed, and learned from my daily mistakes and accomplished my (private) goal of 100 auditions. That goal was the easy one since ANYONE can book an audition, walk in, and bomb it 100 times. I told myself that If I did not book anything by 100th audition, I may be in the wrong business.

After one year…I booked 41 different roles. Some of these roles kept me busy for months while some lasted only a few hours. Some paid a ton while some ended up costing me money. Some are projects you will see on the big screen while other I may never even see myself. Regardless, I have taken something away from every set I have been on.

After one year…I have not forgotten any of you back home. I realize the importance, remember the people, and reminisce about all of the moments, feedback, and advice you had given to me. All of the late night talks, road trips, goofing around at work, frolf adventures, conversations while tossing the football, the nights at the bars, and the mornings STILL at the parties...have not been left behind back in WI. I owe you all ONE SHIRTLESS PUSH-UP!

I didn't want this to be this long. sorry. Anyway, I could not have done ANY OF THIS without ALL OF YOU.

"life is good"
"it is not a sprint, it is a marathon"

STEP ONE IS COMPLETE

Today I will be going on my 100th AUDITION. It's a BIG ONE TOO! If I land the role, I'm taking all of you out for steak.

...if I could steal her heart from her lover, I would love her, put it all in my chest with all of the rest that was left unsaid under covers.
The soundtrack of her movie, i am writing.

I knew it would eventually happen…and today was that day. I was driving through Hollywood and an attractive woman caught my eye. I thought to myself that she had really nice hair. Anyway, as I looked a little bit closer I realized that she was definitely a man dressed up like a woman.
