Hello darlings. I am happy to announce that I have new a headshot and a new haircut. I despise getting headshots taken, which is why I do it so rarely. It just feels so phony and artificial. I met new friend Scott Gordon on a film set a few weeks ago and we made a plan to try to get something in the most low key manner possible. So we just ran around campus for about 30 minutes and came up with these guys. You can download my newly updated resume as well, if you are so inclined. Looking forward to 2012. Its shaping up to be quite a year.

So here are the details:

Five and Four Productions is seeking actors for a short film shooting in Austin, Texas in December 2011 and January 2012.   The film is directed by Rafael Antonio Ruiz (Holy Hell) and will be aggressively submitted to film festivals.  Please email your resumes and headshots with the role you are interested in to jmj@austinactress.com Subject line: CASTING. Cast Positions will be deferred or unpaid, but you will be well fed and well appreciated.

Jeffrey Male, mid 20s -early 30s.  Thoughtful, takes an interest in things that surprise him in the world because much of it leaves him wanting

Patrick Templeton Male, Mid 20s – Early 30s. Large physicality and personality.  Gregarious in his best moments, belligerent and potential physically abusive in his worst,  he is a former grade school bully grown into a family man.

Cathy Templeton Female, mid 20s – early 30s.  Suburban mom and wife, has to show the duress of having her husband viciously attacked for unknown reasons.

Librarian Any sex/ ethnicity -30s or older. Dry but not humorless, closest person our protagonist has to a friend.

Santa Male, any ethnicity, 30s or older. Down-on-his-luck Santa that steals from the donation pot.  Not entirely unsympathetic.

Young Patrick 12-15 years old, intimidating bully ringleader.  Must be able
to embrace the bully scenario in a short improvised scene with some potential
for adult language.

Young Jeffrey 12-15 years old,  chimes in on the bullying but isn’t an instigator. Must be able to embrace the bully scenario in a short improvised scene with some potential
for adult language.

Daud Mid-Late 20′s. Groupie and sycophant.

Today is a huge day for fans of relentless action and swear words.  Serious Sam 3 is now available for download on Steam.  To celebrate, this trailer was released today and you can hear some of my voice over work for the character of Hellfire.   Here she is by the way. Total tough girl. Also, Oakleys will enjoy a comeback during alien warfare. Obviously.

Now go download Sam.  It helps Thanksgiving digestion to kill massive quantities of alien attackers.  It should be an American tradition.

Something wonderful, stay tuned.

This is the best trailer ever.  Good job Will Elliott (See pointing at my gunz in the above photo.)  Cannot wait for the big party on the 22nd!

– SEE THE WORLD PREMIERE OF “AUSTIN HIGH” AT THE 2011 AUSTIN FILM FESTIVAL ON OCTOBER 22 –

Welcome to Ladybird High, nestled comfortably amongst the soul-searchers, aging hippies, and nouveau weirdos of famously freewheeling Austin, Texas. At Ladybird, it’s always 4:20, even for Principal Samuel Wilson. But when the community is rocked by a citywide crackdown on marijuana use, local leaders are determined to make an example of Samuel, his staff and students. When asked to support their iron-fisted efforts, Samuel is beset with the task of cleaning up his beloved school without compromising his life philosophy.

Austin High is a coming of age comedy for the young at heart, featuring an ensemble cast right from the source. Knowing there’s more than just fun at stake, Samuel’s daughter and crew of oddball friends try to keep him honest along the way. In the city officials’ “war on weird,” Samuel and the rest of the blazed faculty, students and staff of Ladybird High School will have to conform or pay the price. The fight is under way, and everyone must find the courage to stand up and defend the city they love, before it’s stripped of its unique essence and mutated into the latest American strip mall: a drab monument to consumerism.

I updated my video section with the recent projects I’ve worked on. I can be a lazy person when it comes to that sort of thing. But here I am, not being lazy. And I even ran for thirty minutes this morning. Who am I?

Wow, I had no idea all these amazing people were in this movie. We have a few days left of fundraising, even $5 would mean a lot. I can’t figure out how to embed the video, but click the link below to see it. Its beauteous. And while you’re there, you know, see what change you can find in your couch and put it in our cup.

Psssst, secrets and secret screenings...

If you are an AFS member, you have a chance to watch the Flesh Life series in its entirety on the 23rd at 7pm at the Austin Studios screening room, followed by a Q & A with the handsome Holden Bros. There are seven episodes and they are all less than five minutes, so this could be just the beginning of a fun and sexy Friday night.  Plus I’ll be there in all my janitorial glory.  Here’s the info on the website:

Narratives-in-Progress: THE FLESH LIFE

Fri, 23 Sep, 2011 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Welcome to the offices of THE FLESH LIFE where things are more neurotic than erotic. This absurdly comic web series follows “idea men” Jeffrey and Otto as they attempt to dream up the next big thing in the sex toy industry. But before they can deliver the revolutionary campaign their maniac boss demands, they’ll find out that when it comes to love and sex, they still have a lot to learn.

Contains explicit content. Viewer discretion advised.
