Hello All!
Well, it's been a little while since my last blog. Sorry, I've been relatively busy recently, and when I am on the computer, I must admit, I'm usually on FB or Twitter. So, I thought it was high time I came and updated my blog.
I've added a new feature on my MySpace page (the only one that allows music). I've placed a box with samples of my piano playing. All you have to do is click on the song, and it will play for you in it's entirety. I have placed various styles from classical to rock ballad to soundtracks here for you (or any interested party) to hear what it is I sound like. As this is part of my professional life, I'm often asked for a demo, and now here is an easy way to have access to one.
At the present time, you can only listen to them, they are not yet available for download, for logistical reasons. But you can enjoy them. Please let me know what you think - even if you don't like them, let me know why. I'd appreciate any genuine feedback. Thanks.
On the acting front, things have started to pick up a bit. I signed on to play a small role in an Indy film. I'm a man from Ireland, accent, Gaelic speak and all. Totally awesome. I just finished a small, yet featured role on the NBC series "Mercy" which will air in about a month. Originally, I was hired to play a rowdy drunken Irish man (seeing a theme) at an Irish fair, but once there, they decided to change my role to something a lot friendlier (let's just say it includes balloons) and a lot more face time. Fun.
I'd forgotten how much I love being on a set. The whole dynamic and electrical feel - all the energy and all of the talent. Phenomenal. I didn't even mind filming at night in Jersey City in 20 degree weather for hours on end. I was just too pumped.
Next up, small roles on NBC's "Law and Order" and the CW (WB)'s "Gossip Girl" Yes, I know I keep saying small roles, but so what? Roles are roles and how many people out there can say they are actually working actors? I can, and that's enough for me. I just love being a part of it all.
I saw the amazing Parry Adams perform over on Park Ave South and 30th (Desmond's Tavern). It was, as usual, an awesome show. Kate, Nicky, Mike, Mark and Brian also were there, and we had fun bar food, rounds and rounds of Guiness and Jamesons and listened to the other performers afterwards. One that surprised us: Paper June, which turned out to be darn good. Thanks to her brother Eric for slipping me her CD. Too Cool.
After that, we headed over to Rodeo Bar on 2nd Ave. Kind of a Western Place in NYC. It was OK, but I wasn't feeling it there and the staff wasn't very accommodating, so I bailed. The rest of the group decided to stay behind. I then headed over to Stonewall to say hi to Chuck and Mikey. The place was pumping, but I said hey, stayed for a drink and headed over to Pieces.
At Pieces, I ran into my very good friend Billy (the fireman). I also ran into my friends Noah, Dave, Dan, Gregory and that dude from Percy Jackson. We shot pool (always, always be on Billy's team), did about a 100 shots out of test tubes, drank corona's and hung with performance artist "Machine Dazzle" who was just a hoot. My favorite part though, was the DJ incident.
I approached the DJ, who was doing a great job and had the room packed and moving to the beat. I asked him if I could "Rick Roll" the room in honor of my friends Danielle and Jaron. He agreed and played Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" which made the crowd go even more wild, and everyone, everyone knew the lyrics. Too too awesome!
Finally at around 4 Billy and I left and I got some Mexican food. Then home. Me to the Upper West Side, Billy to Long Island. After that, bed.
Today, I had an old fashioned date night, complete with a fantastic dinner and a show. Not much more I want to say about it, I'd rather the details stay private. But it was grand. Really grand.
So that's what I've been up to. And looking forward to the next projects. Ok, that's about it for now. I'll keep you posted. Take care of yourselves!
See you on the B-side!
