I’ve been lucky enough to be in all four seasons of “Documentary Now,” the amazing anthology series produced by Seth Meyers, Bill Hader, and Fred Armisen, and directed by Alex Buono and Rhys Thomas. Each episode parodies a different documentary.

On October 19, their newest season will premiere with their two-episode take on “Burden of Dreams,” the documentary about director Werner Herzog making “Fitzcarraldo.” The hilarious new spoof is called “Soldier of Illusion,” stars Alexander Skarsgard, Nicholas Braun, and Fred Armisen, and was written by John Mulaney.

If you’ve seen “Burden of Dreams” you’ll have heard a very distinctive female narrator, Candace Laughlin. If you watch “Soldier of Illusion,” you’ll hear my narration take on her brilliant delivery.

Check out IFC and AMC+ starting October 19 for the newest installments of the always amazing “Documentary Now!” Here’s the trailer for the season (which will also include Cate Blanchett and a wild take on “My Octopus Teacher”!):

I’m excited to narrate the double-episode premiere of this fantastic, hilarious show. (And the creators, producers, directors, and cast of “Documentary Now!” are also some of the nicest people in this biz.) Check it out Oct 19 on IFC and AMC+!

Watch for me on tonight’s episode of “NCIS” on CBS! This legendary show is in its 19th season, and I’m so thrilled to be a small part of it. Big thanks to Jason Kennedy for casting me, and the wonderful actors, directors, and crew for welcoming me so warmly on set. Check your local listings!

I’m so excited to be acting in “Lions” (by Jihan Crowther) at Boston Court Pasadena on Saturday Sept 18 starting at 10 am PDT. It’s FREE, and virtual, so you can watch it from the comfort of your own pajamas if you want! Register HERE for the free link.

Here’s the synopsis: At a possibly haunted party, Wallis, the world’s worst hostess, attempts to entertain her guests—one of whom is hellbent on commandeering her home before the night is over. When unexpected secrets surface, the party takes a startling turn. Soon everyone is forced to choose sides as the chaos inside begins to reflect the turmoil brewing outside.

And I get to play Wallis! It’s a very intense and engrossing new piece, and I’m honored to be a part of it. Don’t miss this new play by my brilliant friend (who also happens to have been a writer on “The Underground Railroad” and “The Man in the High Castle”). Please support this wonderful theater, and join us.

As part of the “First Peek” Series of new play readings by members of the Playwrights Union, my play “Circle Forward” will have its very first public reading (virtually on Zoom) on Saturday June 12 at 3:30 PDT (US). Tickets are FREE — just RSVP/register HERE and you’ll be sent the Zoom link just before the reading.

“Circle Forward” synopsis: When a 15 year old boy claims to be the reincarnation of a writer's late husband, she must come to terms with her version of the past. The reading will run about 1 hour 15 minutes, with a short talkback afterwards for those that wish to stay a few minutes and ask questions or offer constructive feedback.

The “First Peek” series is for brand new plays, all works in progress, so know that you’re seeing and hearing an early draft, and your presence and feedback really matters!

Here’s my amazing cast: Meeghan Holaway, Catia Ojeda, Max Torina, and Caitlin Crawley.
