No I’m not playing right field (position I played on Lehman HS baseball team) at Yankee stadium but I can say that I’m part of the festivities because I’ve made my national commercial debut on Fox on the 2008 MLB Commercial! 

So lets talk about the my national debut, well I played a few roles in the commercial, although as a background actor but then again that’s what we all were in the commercial as there weren’t any speaking parts.

So what can I say, well I’m excited that I had the opportunity to be in this commercial and if you look at it, you really can’t see me too well but I’m sitting on the stoop 3 secs into the commercial.  I’m sitting with a lady on the stoop directly behind the guy dressed as a bike messenger in this opening scene. 

If you continue to watch, you’ll see me (my profile, damn I need to stop eating junk food) 15secs into the commercial again.  I have a white tank top on and you really can’t see it but I supposed to be holding a bike while I’m looking up.

The last scene I was in, you can’t see me at all, I’m standing behind Dereck and A-Rod while they are signing autographs and my role was to be a fan asking for an autograph.  Well looks like that shot got cut and it’s good for me because I’m a Mets fan

By the way, as I was typing this blog entry, I saw the commercial air on Fox ch 5 in NY.  How cool is that!

So I’m making my big screen debut in Los Angeles!!!  Hopefully it’s not the first nor last time LA sees my face in their theaters.

A few years ago I played the part of an inspirational “commercial guy” (you can see the clip in my reel or still in my gallery) in a movie called Fillbilly that was directed by the very talented director called MIG.  He sent me an email and informed me that the movie is about to make its LA debut at the film festival.  So if you are in Los Angeles next week on July 18th you can stop by the theater and check it out.  

If you see me at the theater, don’t forget to say hello and if you ask me for an autograph, you’ll really make my day…lol

I’ve heard from several key sources (Mom & Dad  ) that this commercial has been airing on YES, FOOD Network, HGTV & USA Network in the metro area.  So if you haven’t seen it, you should see it soon!

That’s my line from the commercial.  If you live in the NY metro area, you’ll see this funny commercial as it’s already aired.

I had a great time filming this, I noticed that they edited out my scene where I’m actually saying that line to the camera and they cut out a few more scenes towards the end but overall they left in the sound so it comes across as a voice over on the commercial. Btw I’m the guy wearing the brown baseball type shirt. Oddly enough, I didn’t realize I wore this same shirt on the King of the Bounce web series I did that month.

So here goes:

I know, I know, it’s been ages since I’ve updated this blog.  So first off, Happy New Year!!!

Well the good thing is I have been keeping busy acting.  I’ve recently completed two acting projects.  I had an opportunity to work on a short film where I played an African American father role.  The name of the movie is called “The Heights”.  I know, dependant upon what side of NYC you are from it could sound like it is Washington Heights but actually it was written by a couple of upcoming writers from Brooklyn Heights.  The film was shot completely in Brooklyn.  If I can get a hold of some stills or a clip I will post it on my Gallery or file it under Clips.

Stay tuned!
