MiO Commercial to Air Soon!

Look for me in the upcoming "MiO" TV commercials! It's a spoof on infomercials, and Harvey Keitel makes an appearance. Plus, I wear a bear suit. And really, does advertising get much better than that?

When the ads show up on YouTube, I'll post the link here. Meanwhile, dream of me in fake bear fur, drinking delicious MiO liquid water enhancer!

In Pasadena's Boston Court Theatre's "Government Inspector" in August!

On Monday August 6 and Wednesday August 8, I'll be playing the role of "Osif" in Pasadena's Boston Court Theatre's hilarious production of "The Government Inspector!" Shows are at 8:00 p.m., and stay tuned for the chance to get your tickets.

A World Premiere Adaptation of Nikolai Gogol's The Inspector General
Original adaptation by Oded Gross
Directed by Stefan Novinski

"The corrupt, self-seeking officials of a small town in Tzarist Russia mistake a penniless clerk for a Government Inspector, and chaos, recrimination, and retribution ensue. This classic satire on human vanity and the corruption of elected officials is more relevant today than ever. Re-envisioned as a cutting, tragic farce with influences from Monty Python and Brazil, this painful, hilarious investigation of people’s characters gone to seed makes for hysterical comedy with a good dose of soul."
