To get you caught up.

Im A Still Climbing the Hollywood Ladder.

Oh Snap is that why its so hard? there is No Laddder. ????
Ok im just gonna Claw my way up the Mountain. ill get there. :)

Auditioned,booked and shot a DieHard Battery commercial Zombies its for the Internet only but was a great shoot  Here is a pic form the shoot.

Then a week later Auditioned for the same Director For a Toyota Tacoma commercial. Booked, Whoo Hooo. another Creature character. Under a Strong NDA Non Disclosure Agreement so i cant talk about it or post pics until it airs. but it was interesting. At the same time that Toyota Wanted me. I was up for another Car Commercial As a dancer. Being a Pro Ballroom and Latin Dance Instructor for over 20 years and i don't get booked as a dancer i would have liked to do that they both wanted to book be but i took the Toyota. having just Worked with the Director The week before and it was another creature it made Biz sense to me. shoot went well a very cool character can't wait to show it to you and tell ya about the whole thing.

Then did a short film For a student as a homeless guy. went ok. but the Dir a young lady. called me last month and said she was An intern for Bill Duke the Famous Dir and he is doing a pilot for a tv show Called WHO DAT. would i play a homeless guy AHHHHH did not want to but a great chance to work with one of the top TV directors out there. Of Course Donating my time but Leigh Our doggie in the Zombie pic above was used so building her Resume. that's 3 projects for her now.

we had fun. as you can see shot it on Hollywood walk of fame. leigh the pink dog was also used in the Homeless man short film.

my dear friend and fellow Actor Dave Vesco recommended me to a Manager. Matt Chassin for us to work together. He is a Publicists as well talked extensively with him last week. we are meeting this week to finish the details. I think it will be a good move for me. He Informed me while we were talking that i beat his  #1 guy out For the Toyota Commercial Bill Oberst. who is blowing up the Horror film world. so i think it will be a good home for me with Matt Chassin.

Worked on another Film "proof Of concept" with my Friend Greg Jackson. Proof of concept is you shoot a short piece of the film to show investors what it will look like and hopefully secure the funding for the Full Feature. He had me cast as the cool bad guy. It is called "The Quite Hit" but got in trouble when one of the other cast could not show up Stuck in N.Y. and asked me on short notice if i would play another Character called Rat Sheller.  Rat is a Freak here is what it turned out to be LOL.

 Buffalo Bill anyone

 The Things i do to get ahead...

Thanks for Tuning in. Frankie your Hollywood bad guy
