Wonderful news! 

On November 3rd, I unexpectedly and delightedly jumped onstage to make my Off-Broadway debut (!!!) in one of the most legendary plays in New York Theatre History: PERFECT CRIME

This dizzying mystery, in which a glamorous psychologist must fend off a police investigation, a crazed patient (that would be me), and the dark menace of her own past, has been running Off-Broadway since 1987!

Getting to join this cast is a humongous honor, and I now get to share the stage with them for eight performances a week at the Theater Center in Times Square!

My performance run is open-ended, and I hope to stay with this show for some time. I'm beyond honored to be an actor with a steady job and to now be a part of such an incredible, unique show. I hope to see you at a performance soon!

The independent drama short SPIDER, written and directed by the extremely talented Cate Christiansen, recently had its world premiere at the Reykjavik International Film Festival!

While I wasn't able to travel to Iceland to join Cate in celebrating the film's release into the world, I DID get to see it screen at the Roxy Cinema here in New York on October 14th as part of the Downtown Festival!

SPIDER follows a teenage boy as he copes with a domineering father by exploring some truly exotic sexual desires. Seeing Cate's completed film in a crowded theater was an amazing experience. The movie made people uncomfortable in the most delightful of ways, just as I had hoped!

It was a true honor to be chosen by Cate for her debut short film, and I cannot wait to see what amazing work she does in the future. Keep an eye out for her!

I'm extremely excited to announce that I will be collaborating with the ultra-talented and highly-acclaimed artist Marissa Graziano later this month!

Marissa's work incorporates and challenges pop culture gender, rearranging the simplest, most innocuous materials into deeply unsettling new patterns.

While I don't want to give too much away, Marissa's new video installation, which should premiere in January, draws inspiration from the tropes and cliches of professional wrestling to present a portrait of American hyper-masculinity that is at once ridiculous and also horrifying.

This project, shooting at the end of November, is going to be SO MUCH FUN! I am thrilled to be working with Marissa and getting to be a part of her vision. More info to come soon!

Last month, I was honored to collaborate with my friend Denver Crawford on a short film he is producing, THE BLONDE IS DEAD, written and directed by Anika Massmann.

This short film explores the troubling legacy of misogynistic themes and tendencies in Alfred Hitchcock's films and, allegedly, in his life as well. 

Towards the end of his life, Hitchcock tries to cast the female lead in what will be his final film. But what is the logical endpoint of his desire to depict death, beauty and control? His conversation with an auditioning actress will go down a shockingly dark path.

I'm honored that Anika and Denver trusted me with the role of Alfred Hitchcock himself, who was such a distinctive physical and vocal presence. so this was a wonderful adventure for me to go on as an actor. Anika, Denver and the whole crew were so supportive and collaborative; this was such a rewarding creative experience.

The film should hopefully be finished within the next few months!
