So, in 2016, I made it into two episodes of Tyler Perry's Too Close To Home. Tomorrow, I should be making an appearance in my THIRD episode. It airs on TLC tomorrow, January 4th, at 10pm. Watch out for me as a desk reporter on a TV. Not sure where you're going to see me, but I should be in there somewhere. :)

My friend in L.A., Gulnara Mirzakarimova, has an awesome webseries in the works. It is centered around three female developers trying to make it in a male dominated silicon valley. She's already directed two shorts and she's set to make this a hit as well!

You should check it out and support it if you can. If you know of anyone who would like to support this webseries, please feel free to share the link.

The Developers is a dramedy series that will focus on the lives of women in tech - and they're looking for support on Indiegogo.

I spoke to a few established talent managers and everybody agreed that there are at least a few things every actor should understand (and think over) before working with a manager.

I see that we have some new 'Likes' recently. For you new folks, unfortunately, the New York Entertainment Group is no longer planning free networking events, but that doesn't mean you can't! Networking is like acting. You can create your own opportunities. I started this event with no background in event planning. Word gets out quickly. :)

Hey everyone! I know there hasn't been much posted here, but I just wanted to give you an update on my acting career. I've decided that I'm going to move down to Atlanta at the end of March to see what the entertainment biz is all about down there. As you can guess, that means that any hope of NYEG being re-instituted is now gone and buried. However, I am going to be doing one last marketing for actors workshop on Saturday, February 14th from 10:30am-2:30pm in the NY Theater District on W 47th St. The address and other details will be shared with those who register for the workshop. If you are interested, simply email me at [email protected]. You can find out more about the workshop by going to the website www.marketingforactors.com.

NY has treated me well, but I'm gonna give Atlanta a try return to Southern Living (I lived down there for 12 years for college and more). :)

Learn the BUSINESS of Acting!

The Oscar-nominated actress stars alongside Bill Murray in the new comedy "St. Vincent." She plays his pregnant Russian stripper girlfriend. Naomi Watts joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss her comedic role.

I can now confirm with 100% certainty that my scene was not cut from St Vincent!!!!! It's near the end of the movie, but it was not left on the cutting room floor!!

So, it looks like NY and L.A. are going to get a sneak peak of St. Vincent on 10/10/14! Hopefully the names of the actual theaters will be released soon!! So, T-minus 28 days and counting for NY and L.A. and T-minus 42 days for 23 other cities! Thank you The Weinstein Company for moving up the release date! Toronto reviews were great and I can't wait to see MY movie!!!

Don't forget, I'm the baby store employee arguing over the price of a baby crib with Bill Murray and Naomi Watts!

The actor finally returns to his comedy roots in a movie that owes its appeal to his talent.
