Actor's deal with the uncertainty of the business and the lopsided amount of "no"s we hear in different ways. Mine is usually to focus on the task at hand, to enjoy the work and just do the scene/audition in front of me with no thoughts or expectations beyond doing it well. 
That can sometimes lead to funny exchanges like:
Manager: "Guess who booked 'Oceans'?...
Me: Um, I did? What is that?

I'd auditioned for it some weeks before, not registered what the title meant, and didn't give it a second thought until this call.

I get to be a man in the upcoming and amazing female-reboot/continuation of the "Ocean's" films. I'm incredibly excited to be in such a high-profile piece with such mind-blowingly talented humans. I'll post more details when it's time.

I got the call- I'll be coming back and getting to explore the character and relationships even more. I'm very excited for this on so many levels. I even got to do some ADR on the first episode so i got a sneak peek and it looks great! Can't wait for it to go live...next season.

(I had to use another Netflix logo, just for variety)

What an incredible group of people. And one of the oddest things Ive ever done for camera. But it was the first time I got to wear something other than a suit on TV! Very "other".
I wish there was more I could say, but I did hear it whispered that "we'll be back here quite a bit this season". So that's something to look forward to...

I'm very excited that I'll get to be on this show, even if I can't yet say what it is. NDA's are tough, man. I'm not sure if i'll be coming back, but I have a hunch- either way, it's a fantastic role and a great opening scene. I'm doing some very weird things. Stay tuned!

It was a fantastic shoot, with some old and new faces. Ryan McFaul directed again, and still so much fun to work with. I'd expected to see Michael Torpey as my partner in crime but when I got the call-sheet I discovered he must have had a conflict. I was paired instead with...Chris Parnell. Not a bad replacement. 

Comedy Central is nice enough to air their episodes online as well, so you can watch it here, episode 4.1 "The World's Most Interesting Woman In The World." Our sketch starts at 2:53 (1:38 for the always helpful intro interview). It also airs tonight on Comedy Central. "Fooling Around Chicken", raising sex-avoidance to competition level sport.

I got a lovely surprise on my voice mail- the producers of "Inside Amy Schumer" asking me to come back for another sketch! I'm "reprising" my role as a sports commentator - for an even more serious sport this time. And a bonus- they wrote my name into the script. Yes, I'll be playing "Simon" the sports commentator. Can't wait!

I got a sneak peek at how the scene turned out when I went in to do some ADR (they wanted to add a line for clarity- see if you can figure out which one when you watch!) and I'm really happy with it.
Check it out on A&E this Friday night at 8!

My mom always wanted me to be a lawyer (some combination of a good job and putting my smart mouth and argumentative mind to good use) and she's been getting her wish in spades- at least on TV. I play Bernie Steinhardt, a mob-lawyer with all the answers who likes to rub it in. Opposite EJ Bonilla and George Katt (as my client), it was a fantastic and tight shoot, can't wait to see how it turns out.
