Here's we're shooting the "muffin scene" in Full Circle. (Nov 2004 in Frederick, MD)

code1.jpg

This is just after we wrapped for the day on Code Of Silence, at new Dominion Pictures. We're in front of the armored car we just finished "heisting." (I'm on the left.)

A heist in progress. Mike and I (on right...I'm in green coveralls) subdue a guard, as JB (leaving the van) rushes in to take down the driver (inside the truck). The building, although it looks like a bank, is actually a dental office. (And they PAID me to play cops and robbers!?)

This shot is from the set of the Comcast Digital Cable commercial, advertising the Sopranos Season Premiere. (Sept. 15) I play an FBI agent conducting surveillence on a subject...only, instead of watching the bad guy, I'm watching the Sopranos on his tv. The ad should hit Comcast Cable all over the US sometime in July.

From the set of The Wire, Jan. 2006. That's my first "trailer!"

Also from Code Of Silence, we're getting ready to shoot the first heist scene. (That's me at the sliding door, JB Gardiner in the front.)

The Prop guy on the Comcast shoot also used to work on the tv show, Homicide. The shoulder holster he gave me had a little yellow sticker on it that read, "MUNCH." Munch is the character that Richard Belzer played on Homicide, and took up to New York onto Law & Order: SVU.

This is a screen-cap from the DVD of The Replacements. In the foreground is Brett Cullen and Gene Hackman. Over Brett's left shoulder, that cop back there...that is the first appearance on the big screen of my career. I had another scene where I was featured, but that one didn't make the cut. So this little glimpse was the first time that I ever made it up and onto the screen. (Hey, we've all gotta start somewhere!)

This is from the set of The Jersey, a Disney Channel show. Growing up a Redskins fan, it had been my life-long dream to suit up for the 'Skins and run out onto the field at RFK Stadium. On this shoot, it happened. (I"m #46 on the right.) The shoot took place in December, on an incredibly cold morning. It was about 10 degrees out...but we toughed it out.

Ten years after working together in the Keynote Dinner Theatre's production of Annie, my friend Amy Cropper and I finally had the chance to collaborate again. This shot is from the set of Comfort The Dead, an Oozing Sarcasm production and a "Best Of" finalist for the DC 48 Hour Film Project.

chopper.jpg

This is from the Special Forces shoot at New Dominion pictures. I played a British chopper co-pilot. The shoot took place on their studio lot in Suffolk, VA in October of 2001. This role, when it eventually airs, will be my first spoken lines on television. It's slated to air on The Learning Channel sometime this year.
