I wrote and directed this funny short called CHARACTER ACTORS. It's about what it's like to be an actor in Hollywood.
Shot by Laura Taylor & Jamie Margolin
Edited by Tyler Cook
Starring Sofiya Alexandra, Alex Blagg, Mia Antonelli, Phil Eastman, Ramsey Robinson, and me.
I hope you enjoy it and also understand me better now!
Also I'd be every so grateful if you'd pass it around, the more people that can know about these important socio-political issues, the better.
Hey watch this fun short, in which I play the best acting teacher in LA!

"Take the example of 19-year-old Redditor Ojdidit123. After 70 days without masturbating, he wrote, he went from being a virgin to meeting a woman on his flight, getting a "raging boner," and having sex with her in both the plane and an airport hotel. The confidence he got from that encounter, he said, not only helped him perform well at a job interview later, and secure a job at a hedge fund for the summer, but also enabled him to call a long-simmering crush and ask her out. "All that shit happened in the span of 48 hours," he posted. "It was pretty fucking crazy.""- I bet the fact-checkers had fun with this part of the NY Mag article about people who have given up jerking off

Introducing BRAINDEX, the World's First "App Show"
I'm psyched to say that BRAINDEX - the new interactive game show in which you can play trivia head-to-head against celebrities, weirdos and your Facebook friends - is now live and available for free in the App Store. So if you've ever wondered whether you're truly smarter than Mike Tyson, today is your day (and there will be a lot more random celebrity guests coming in the future).
In addition to featuring my luxurious mustache and "barely coherent" brand of game-show hosting, BRAINDEX represents the very first, very experimental step towards combining TV viewing with a truly interactive iPad experience (ie, "TV you can touch"). The show was made for almost no money, and as far as I know, it is the first and only show distributed solely as an app.
So please check it out! Download it (free)! Give it a 5-star rating in the App Store! A lot of time and hard work went into building this thing, and I know the people who made it see Braindex as only the beginning of all the cool stuff that can be done in the realm of interactive television.
Also, if this isn't a success, I'm pretty sure Mike Tyson is gonna murder me. So, yeah.

My amazing friends helped me make my first movie.
I starred in this important Christmas film.
When I wanted to adopt a rescue dog recently, they sent someone to my house first to make sure it was safe. Do they do that with guns?
My Opinion on Opinions
The older I get, the less comfortable I am with putting my true thoughts and feelings about things online, at least in a manner any lengthier or more earnest than a tweet.
I think it’s because if time has taught me one thing, it’s that everything I think and feel will eventually evolve, and sometimes even change completely. There’s no such thing as having a static, comprehensive, fully formed worldview, with exacting ideals and positions on every messy question life has hidden for us.
I find myself increasingly put off by people who have strong, certain opinions on things. Authority is an illusion most of us try to project, or a hard-won mantle reserved for the rarified few who have actually earned it with patience, time and wisdom.
But in the endless static of the Internet, everyone is an expert so long as they voice their opinions loud enough to break through the clutter. I spent years doing this (and even worse, in the ultimately pointless realms of celebrity and popular culture), so I understand why it’s appealing. It’s easy to dismiss, to deconstruct, to find the flaws in everything. It’s difficult to empathize, to understand, and to grant even the most obviously troubled among us some small permission to exist.
I feel gross about always needing to chime in on the frenzied, hyperactive dialogue about what is Good, about who is Bad, about why this Matters when that Doesn’t. Over time, it all ends up sounding so pointless and obvious and stupid.
Anyway, that’s my opinion on opinions. I’m sure I’ll regret this someday, too.

"But the country is changing. And this may be the last election in which anyone but a fool tries to play — on a national level, at least — the cards of racial exclusion, of immigrant fear, of the patronization of women and hegemony over their bodies, of self-righteous discrimination against homosexuals. Some in the Republican party and among the teabagged fringe will continue to play such losing hands for some time to come; this shit worked well in its day and distracted many from addressing any of our essential national issues. But again, if they play that weak-ass game past this point, they are fools.
America is different now, moreso with every election cycle. Ronald Reagan won his mandate in an America in which 89 percent of the voters were white. That number is down to 72 percent and falling. Fifty thousand new Latino citizens achieve the voting age every month. America will soon belong to the men and women — white and black and Latino and Asian, Christian and Jew and Muslim and atheist, gay and straight — who can comfortably walk into a room and accept with real comfort the sensation that they are in a world of certain difference, that there are no real majorities, only pluralities and coalitions. The America in which it was otherwise is dying, thank god, and those that relied on entitlement and division to command power will either be obliged to accept the changes, or retreat to whichever gated community from which they wish to wax nostalgic and brood on political irrelevance.

K-LOL: The Final Episode
This is the last of K-LOL for now, and it's a real barnburner, so definitely watch it. One thing I've learned from producing ten weeks of this thing: making original scripted comedy for the Internet is HARD. There's not a lot of money, not a lot of time, and it turns out the vast majority of the YouTube audience genuinely prefers to watch emotionally erratic thirteen year-olds yell at cats.
All that being said, I am VERY proud of what we managed to accomplish (you can see all the K-LOL clips here), and most of all just had an amazing time getting to work with people I was already a fan of. So thanks to Jordan Morris, Eliza Skinner, Jack Allison, Marissa Ross, Joe Hartzler, Colton Dunn, Jake Weisman, Hal Rudnick, Dave Theune, Mark David Christenson, David Neher, Scott Rogers, Kat Foster, Andree Vermeulen, Katie Willert, Fiona Landers, Dave Ross, Jessica McKenna, Eli Newell, Pamela Passmore, Erin Whitehead, Jennie Newman, and of course "Scarlett" from K-TOWN. Also, our crew, and everyone else I forgot. DING-DONG DINOSAUR!
