WHERE HAVE I BEEN!!

Really….I’m sorry…I know it’s been awhile and I really have NO EXCUSE, other than the fact that not much is
happening. I DID manage to book a part on THE CLOSER, which I filmed about 3 weeks ago. I really liked the
people on that set and what made it extra nice, was the fact that two of my friends who also happen to be with
my agent, were cast as well. So it’s was a nice day together. Yesterday I had an audition for the Series Finale of
Nip/Tuck, but I’m not gonna go too crazy over that because I don’t think I was what they were lookin’ for. It’s ok,
it’s just one of those things. So right now, I’m just plugging along, looking for the next audition and apparently will
now be volunteering at my local Y as a “Y” greeter (I say hello and help people feel comfortable at the gym) I just
have to say that I would have NEVER thought it was something I’d do, but I’m kinda happy about it. It will be nice
to just do something to help others.

I’m walking for a cause!!!

Well I decided that I wanted to be productive and for a good reason!…so I signed up for the May 9th 5k Revlon Breast
Cancer walk that’s being done here in Los Angeles. I’m really excited to be apart of this because of friends of mine who’ve
been thru this disease and to just be supportive for a cause that affects so many. I’m also trying to raise funds for it as well and have
set up my own site thru Revlon to do it!! I would love to ask a favor of those of you who read this…any kind of small donation you can give. Your donation will help fund important research into the cause and cure of women’s cancers, prevention, education and support service programs. Every donation will help bring us one step closer to a cure.

If I can help JUST a little towards research and a cure…then I’m grabbin’ my shoes and GETTIN’ ON BOARD!!

Hello!

Well this last 6 months has been a whirlwind of auditions, family, working a bit and just being lazy and not updating
this like I should have! Well let me start by saying that I got to do two episodes of “Better off Ted” and I had a real
BLAST working on it. The entire cast was GREAT super nice people and such a fun place to work in. After that I went on
a couple auditions for pilots and actually got to see the casting people who cast me in Ernesto (Debra and G. Charles) they
are super nice and it was nice to see them again. I also managed to squeeze in an episode of Eleventh Hour which was nice.
Just this last week I got to spend 2 days on Hannah Montana I’ve been
very happy to at least get to work a little and I’m looking forward to more auditions!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hello!
Well there’s alot to be thankful for this year, and I’d like to say I’m truly grateful for everything that came my way this year.
I’ve been a little busy these last couple weeks (a good amount of auditions, and getting to film Better off Ted) Last week I
did 4 play readings in one weekend and I got to audition twice for a feature film called “Mother and Child“. It was a good audition and I was lucky enough to get to meet the director Rodrigo Garcia He was a very nice man and
we ran the scene a couple of times. I’m not sure exactly how it went, but It was very cool to work with him a little. I also
had an audition for 11th hour. I have another audition for 11th hour next week as well so like I said…very grateful for all
these opportunities. I hope anyone out there reading this (do people read this?) have a GREAT THANKSGIVING! and I hope
to write some more good stuff soon!!

gobble, gobble…

Finally…

Hi there,
sorry I haven’t written in a bit…to be honest, not much has been going on. I went on some auditions for Eli Stone,
United states of Tara, and twice for My own worst enemy, but nothing was panning out and we’re still waiting to
hear about “ERNESTO“. Well I just booked a small part on a new show called “Better off Ted“. I am happy to work
for a bit, and just get back to what I love doing. I will also be doing two staged readings of two different plays. Not
to mention a trip to Disneyland, Cleaning the HELL out of my apt and Thanksgiving looming around the corner.
Feeling busy is the best!

Settling Down…a bit…

Welp Friday finalized my last day working on ERNESTO. I had an ABSOLUTE BLAST!! and everyone was
just so amazing to work with, it makes me a little sad to be done. But hopefully…this is just a small break before we get that
“greenlight” and I get to go back to work with all those cool people!!. My sister, nephew, and his friend came to visit me on
set last thursday. It was so much fun to be with them and even though I didn’t have much to do that day (I had shot most of my
stuff the two weeks before) They had a blast meeting everyone and seeing what I did have left to film. The show itself (from what I’ve seen so far) looks SO FUNNY and well shot. I was in the make-up trailer when they were going over some “dailies” (unedited footage shot the days before) and the look is so cool. I’m really proud of this NO MATTER WHAT. It’s very much a labor of love and I feel so honored to be apart of it.

Now that it’s over for the time being, I’ve started rehearsing for a super fun show I did before called THE WITCHING HOUR. It’s
written by Eban Schletter (the man behind the musical madness of Mr. Show and Spongebob Squarepants) and it’s a very neat stylized “Nightmare before christmas” sounding Halloween show. It’s been done before at Largo in L.A., but this year it’s going to be at the STEVE ALLEN THEATRE in Los angeles. If you’re looking for something to do on the 29th and 30th…come on down. It’s such a fun show, only $10 and loaded with lots of SPECIAL GUESTS (some listed, some a surprise)

So now?…I’m gearing up for the SPOOKY SPOOKY HALLOWEEN season…and figuring out what to be for Halloween…maybe
lil’ red? this is gonna take some time….

Hello world!

Hello there!,

Well I’m pretty much starting over on my journal entries…but hopefully I will have updating more often and can keep you all
very much in, on what’s going on with me. In the last couple months I began work as a recurring character on Lincoln Heights ( I did 3 episodes before they went on hiatus), then I did some work on Dexter and a new show for HBO called “LITTLE BRITAIN” (I loved working on that because it was in front of a live studio audience…a TOTAL RUSH!). As of right now, I’m starting work on a new pilot for Fox called “The Emancipation of Ernesto” starring Wilmer Valderrama (That 70’s show) It’s an AWESOME script and everyone has been AMAZING to work with on set. So that’s it so far, so welcome back! and I hope for many, many, more adventures to come!
