Almost Impossible - I was cast in Almost Impossible on the spot at the audition... but "Almost Impossible" turned out to be a description of getting the film finshed. Director Ye Huang had to act in her own movie after two of her other actors backed out. She had to re-film scenes which had already been compleated with the other actress. In the end, the movie's story is good, but there were some serious technical problems. If nothing else, I found a new friend in Ye while working on this film.

Among the Dead - From the time I auditioned for Among the Dead to the time I was done filming it was three days... that's a record for me. The finished movie is great, though the sound quality isn't great. Director Kevin X. Barth defiantly had a vision and a plan, and I think it really showed on screen. It was a lot of fun to film, and I liked both of my co-stars. I really enjoyed playing the ultra-dark character Ulcer Macabre. It's just too bad the technology we used to record it wasn't all that great.

As You Wish - As You Wish was a great experience. I'd worked with many of the crew before, on Reverse Psychology. The director, seemed a little lost at times, but I think the finished product is very good, and features some of my best acting. I did think it was very odd that we filmed two completely different endings, one in which I'd lost one eye, and one in which both were gone... and in the end only the audio from the scene was used! I think he should have decided which he wasnted before we filmed. My costar in this movie, Samantha Colburn, was the same girl I'd worked with on my previous movie, Wife. I didn’t really get to talk to her much on that set, so it was great to really get to know her this time around. There are two versions of this film, the longer and better one features an extended scene between my brother and I.

Blood Wedding - I enjoyed working on Blood Wedding, I liked the director and my co-star... but I don't like the finished movie. Most of what we filmed was not used, and the story was completely changed. I don't understand how the new title fits the movie, and it's not nearly as deep as the original concept was. In the end, I have to say that this movie looks like a parody of a typical student film in that it’s all style and very little substance. It was originally titled The Mermaid and the Writer.

Bob Smith – This film was originally called "Tears of a Clown," and I actually like that name MUCH more then "Bob Smith." My part in this film is not a big one, but it's a fun one. This is a film I am very eager to see. I scraped up my knees pretty bad when I tacked Bob the Clown in multiple takes, and I even ended up with a clown face imprent on my shirt. The guy that plays Bob is also the director. I have to say, the finished project was darker then I expected.

Chemistry - Chemistry is my short film that was filmed in about three hours. I think it came out quite good, but it shows that the forst half of the production was filmed much faster then the second half; we filmes it in reverse order and time ran out. And as it happens, I am in the first half more. Both this film and this film and Gun in the Bag were for the same UCLA class.. this was a first for me.

Circles – "Circles" was made by the same guys that did "Dog Logic"; I was actually called in at the last minute (the day before) when one of their actors backed out. It was a fun little part, and best of all, I got to roller skate for a couple hours... which is something I hadn't done in about fifteen years! I fell a lot. I also got to wear a striped shirt that made me look like a "Foot Locker" employee.

Cleansed - My role in Cleansed was the first retarded character I played. At times, I felt like it was too much, but my fellow actors told me later that they thought that I'd played many retarded characters, and this it was my specialty. I took this as a complement. I am eager to see my own performance. There was a ton of dialogue in this scene, and it was very intense, so this was a great experience for me.

A Delivery Man - I was brought in on A Delivery Man by my long time friend Sarah Downey, the starof the film. Tough I'd known for years, I'd never really ancting with her in any project, so it wqas a lot of fun. The filmmakers were beginers, and could have planed certain aspectts of the production better, but for a movie with no dialogue, the movie came out pretty good. I will also add that the crew were incredibly nice... they even hand delivered a copy of the finished film to my door!

Diva Supreme – I didn't know the name of "Diva Supreme" for a long time after I filmed it... I actually helped choose the name weeks later whn I worked with Kevin Thomas on another project. It only took about four hours to film this, and most of that was travel time; we went to various locations around Hollywood. It's too bad everything had to be done so quickly... I suspected that they didn't enough coverage of me, but given the time it took, it came out damn good! We might be filming some additional shots to add to the film at some point in the future

Dog Logic - Dog Logic is actually a play by Tom Strelich, and the "short film" was actually a scene from it. I had tons of dialogue in this one, and only a couple days to get it down (and I was busy with other things on those days). Even so I think I did quite well... though the lighting isn't great. They did use the take in which I totally screwed up my lines, but I totally sold it! We filmed all the way out in Oxnard... and they didn't even pay for gas! The weird thing about it is that of all the auditions I had in April 2008, this was the one I felT I did the worst on... and it's the one I booked!

Dreamcatcher - Dreamcatcher is my short film. It has no real dialogue and is set to REM music. It's not all that original, but I'm still quite proud of it. Ther are countless hidden details in the movie, and a few things that no one but me (and possibily one other person, but probably not) would get. I'm not going to say what it was inspired by, but I think the basic themes and emotions are universal and the exact reasons are not important.

The Fourth Man - The Fourth Man, was originally called "The Third Man", then it was called "The Third Person" for awhile. It was a great experience. Most of the movie was filmed in the woods... it was a tiring day. Also because it was filmed in the wilderness, we had to ADR every line of dialogue... and I think something seemed just slightly off with the sound of the finished film. I'll also add that the cast and crew were great on this movie. The movie was done through a school called The Los Angeles Film Studies Program. Oh, I'll also add that all the night shots in this film were filmed in the day and altered in post.

The Great Office War - The Great Office War was so much fun! It was basically just a day of playing with Nerf weapons... who wouldn't want to do that!? You might notice in the film that I do not change my apearence when I go from office worked to office warrior (most people do), this was because everyone else was, and I though not doing it would make me unique... I think this was a mistake and I probably would have been in it more if I had "geared-up" more. A couple shots of me made it into the film, including my death... the way they edited it, I am the first one to die on the IT team. Edger Landa, who I worked with on Dog Logic, was on the other team in the battle.

The Great Venice Robbery - I got my part in The Great Venice Robbery without auditioning... which is to say I'm really not important in it; I play a photographer. The movie played at various film festivals, including Cannes! I'm basically a glorified extra in this movie... I think I look like a French guy. I was quite pissed-off after I did this film; my part was so small, and they sort of lewered me there by making me think it was somewhat larger. But when I finally sae the film, I really liked my scene, and I've very glad I did it.

Gun in the Bag - Gun in the Bag is my short film that was filmed in less then three hours. I think it came out quite good, especially considering that this was the first film director Hiroshi Yamano ever did. Both this film and this film and Chemistry were for the same UCLA class... this was a first for me.

Hongry – Hongry was a lot of fun to make, even though it wasn't the most challenging part. It was originally called "Hungry", but the tital was changed at the last minute for some reason. It was produced by my frend Jenny Cho... but I still had to audition (still, I suspect she helped me get in the door). I wish all student films were this much fun to work on. And the finished project came out pretty good.

In and Out of My Head – I thought this movie was called "In and Out of My Mind" for over a year and a half, which is how long it took me to get a copy of it. In and Out of My Head was directed by my frend Jenny, I think she's got a talent as a director. This was an odd experience as we uesed my appartment, my car, my place of employeement and my A Clockwork Orange Halloween costume. Everything in the movie is me... except hopefully the psycotic tendencies. It's a strange story, it's too bad there's no audio.

In The Blink of an Eye – In the Blink of an Eye was an interesting experience to say the least. I play the sidekick to a hitman in the film, but Frankie Ray, the actor who was playing Hitman, left the production after we'd already filmed a scene. We did not re-shoot the scene, so actor Frankie Ray still appears in the film; though he is out of focus, it's clearly not the same actor seen later. I liked the finished movie... though my scenes seemed to go by so fast. Such is life.

John's Keys - John's Keys was a student film I did in college. I never got to see the finished product, mainly because I didn't try. This was the first movie I ever did... in fact I was approached by the director, I didn't ask to be in it. In this movie, I'm an artist who takes one last look at some of his childhood posetions before shooting myself. The gun shot effect was fun, though a little scary.I have recently contacted the director, and I hope to get a copy soon! I didn't even know the name of trhe film for ten years.

The Joker – "The Joker" was one of the worst I've ever done... and there have been a few bad ones. It was a terrible experience to work on. The director, Alexis Lormeau, was a total tool, and the story made no sense at all! I learned from this film that I need to see a script before I do a film... even if I have a verbal description of my role, I need to see a script. I almost walked off the set, but didnd't because we were almost done anyway. Even the name is stupid. The highlight of the shoot was a nice cat named Paws that lived in the house in which we filmed. The film was in focus (I always try to say something nice).

Man-Away – Man-Away was written by my frend Geoffrey "Badger" Gould, and I probably would he done it to help him out even if it sucked, but suck it did not. I really liked working on it, and I think my scene is quite amusing. I know there are a few things "Badger" wasn't 100% happy with... but I guess that's the price of being the writer and not the director.

Marble Game – Marble Game which was originally called "The Marble," had a tremendious amount of complicated camera work. I liked the concept of the film, but I'm not sure the finished product fully captured what it wanted to. Some parts worked great. I'm not sure what I expected from it; there wasn't a lot to the story really. I was a little disapointed.

Meet Me in Space – "Meet Me in Space" was a ton of fun for many reasons, not the least of which was that I got to play a superhero of sorts. It was also the first time I got to stay in a hotel at the production's expense, nice! And of course the crew was great, as well as my costar Abbie McConnell, who is awesome. I hope the film is as fun to watch as it was to make. And one more interesting fact, the scenes inside Jerry's house were filmed inside the house where large chunks of Erin Brockovich were filmed. The only part I didn't like about doing the film were those superhero boots I had to wear... those things were actually ski boots and killed after a day of filming!

Misdemenor Revenge – Misdemenor Revenge was another film directed by my frend Jenny. All I really did in the movie was get hit in the face with a few pies, and act goofy (which I do so well). This isn't a movie I would have done had a friend not been the director, but it only took an hour anyway. And I did have fun. It's a fun little film.

Nirvana Girl – I played an angry guy named Randy inNirvana Girl... which was originally called "Hollow Nirvana". This was the angry second character named Randy that I played in the space of a couple months, the first was in Smile. Also in the movie, I had to be puched into a swimming pool... and wouldn't you know thatit happened to be the coldens and wetest day of the year in Los Angeles... needless to say, it was an interesting experience. Both the cameraman and I were probably close to hypothermia by the time we finished.

Out of Town – Out of Town was an interesting experience as it was filmed in the Rite Aid drug store where I worked at the time. My job was on the line, and certain people involved with the movie, particularly the director, didn’t seen too concerned about this, and didn’t seen to respect the location. I will never stick my neck out like this again. Fortunately, I didn’t lose my job. The movie itself could have been interesting, I likes some of the concept that we were going for… but something just didn’t come out right and the intended message didn’t really manifest itself to anyone I’ve shown it to.

Once Upon a Time In Los Angeles - Once Upon a Time In Los Angeles is part of a larger, full length project called The Los Angeles Film Collective, which contains several short films about Los Angeles; the idea was inspired by the French film Paris Je T’aime This story was actually written with me in mind by director Paul Garcia, who is a big fan of my work in Freaks and Geeks. Paul seems to have a good artistic vision, but is the more disorganized director I've ever worked with... there was SO MUCH wasted time on set.

Passion – "Passion" was a UCLA film that I didn't have to audition for, and it only took a few hours to film. Though there is no dialogue, it was actually a lot of fun to film, and I actually got to display a wider range of emotion then I have in any other project before. This was the firstthing Japanese director Koji Sugawara ever directed... he was impressed by me and bowed many times.

Patrick's First Party – "Patrick's First Party" was a USC film that was made for the 2008 Campus-Fest movie festival... sadly, it did not win anything. It was a fun film to make, but proved that it's never a good idea to try and film at a real party... though I did like that I could start drinking as soon as filming was done... ok... before we were done. I didn't make it home that night of the party, and was very tired for the filming the next morning, but everything turned out just fine. It was also an experience filming on the USC campus on a game day... what a bunch of freaks!! And some overzealous security guard started berating me for filming without a permit... I'm was the actor, I wasn't the one with a camera (the guard was clearly an idiot). I didn't have to audition for, and it only took a few hours to film. Though there is no dialogue, it was actually a lot of fun to film, and I actually got to display a wider range of emotion then I have in any other project before. This was the firstthing Japanese director Koji Sugawara ever directed... he was impressed by me and bowed many times.

Patsy - Patsy was another student film I did in college. I played a hospital worked who witnesses his boss abusing drugs, but who ends up taking the fall himelf. I never saw this movie because the jerk director didn't get me a copy, tell me where it was showing, or give me back the white shirt I used in the movie... which was mine before I did the film. I don't like doing student films.

Pick a Date - I had a small role in Pick a Date, which was originally called "The Perfect Mate", but because they didn't ask me to audition, I agreed to do it. I basically just had to act super creepy without saying anything, and I'm good at that. The finished film was quite ambitious, though I didn't think the casting was done all that well. And it wasn't my best work either... I seemed kinda phoney.

Reverse Psycology - Reverse Psycology was an intersting experience. I had a lot of dialogue in it, and it was almost all in monologue form... there was very little interaction with my costar in terms of the dislogue. I was quite nervous before I saw the film, but I thought it came out quite good. Quite a few lines were cut out, but this was totally fine with me as I think it flowed better without it.

Smile – Smile was a lot of fun to do because my character was so over the top, I had to yell every line! I almost lost my voice a few times. I'm wondring how it's going to turn out because I felt like I was constantly chewing the scenery. This movie also holds the record for the most days I had to drive to USC to film... four days! The last day was due to the camera dying about ten minutes before we finished the final scene on the third day, "D'oh!" The finished product is good, but there are some technical problems.

Snuff - Snuff was an independent movie… or maybe it was a student film, I don't know. The world should be happy if this one never sees the light of day, and I'm positive it will not. From what I saw, this movie is total garbage and the crew didn't seem to know what they were doing. I play a college theater student in this one; I think I was in three scenes.

Stalker – "Stalker" was the second project I did with director Kevin Thomas (the first was "Dive Supreme"). The concept of the project, as well as the name, was compleatly changed on the day of the shoot due to time and reasources. In the end, the movie suffered because of it's total lack of ending... we needed an actress, but couldn't find on on short notice... and the neighbor girl didn't want to do it. For a time, this project was to be called "Stalker Strikes Out" and it would have ended with me returing home, alone... instead Kevin decided to end it ambigiously at the subway station

The Stupid Killer – I didn't have to audition for"The Stupid Killer," director Hiroshi Yamano had directed me in "Gun in the Bag" many months earlier, and he'd remembered my work. He contacted me on Friday, and we filmed on Saturday. This film was shot on the cheepest camera of anything I've done... it was a digital camera that also happened movie capibilities... but it actually looks pretty good. One thing I will say... Hiroshi isn't too creative with the names of his films. This film has a ton of voiceover.

Teh Guild – As I was filming it, I was really curious how Teh Guild was going to turn out. And when I saw it, I was shocked how different my God character was from anything I'd done before! I had never done green screen work before, and I'd never done anything with that much make-up either; I really liked my geeky God make-up, which included a ton of zits. I really enjoyed doing the movie, and though it could have been better, I was happy with the finished product.

Wife – Wife was an interesting film making experience. During the one night in which my scenes were shot, my character went from a passive aggressive jerk, to a happy newlywed, and final because an obsessive-compulsive guy who spend all his time separating his food. I also had some issues with the director deleting almost all of another actors lines without telling him until it's time to shoot, and making many of the actors (not me) eat very disgusting food. The director also almost tried to make us drink wine with stuff floating in it... but one of the crew member had some respect for the actors and went to the store for some fresh wine... and yes, we did dreak real wine (I drank a lot). In the end, guess what? I was cut out of the movie. My voice can briefly be heard and you can see my hand for a second. However, the director sent me all my scenes, as well as the finished film, so in the end he was a very good guy.

Wolfman.com - My role in Wolfman.com was not big, but I think it's very memorable. If the pilot is picked up by a network, I think my character would be back in a big way. Though I was a very strange and a very big character, I don't think I played Harvey as a caricature at all. Sadly, my introductory scene was edited out, and thus I have no lines in this piece, I just laugh. But I still think I'm very memorable

Wonder of the World - Wonder of the World was a very eye opening movie to work on. I had more lines in it by far that I’ve ever had in any other project. It also got to experience something I already knew, but had never experienced: you don’t get to do it over and over again until it’s perfect, and they might not use the best take (as far as acting goes) for technical reasons. The way I ended up playing the part came off as a very repessed guy... that's what I see when I watch it. Sense this was actually a scene taken from a play by David Lindsay-Abaire, it’s not something that could ever be released... for this I am thankfull. I did not like how this movie came out overall; I think the fact that my co-star and I had zero chemestry had a lot to do with it.
