Maybe my most memorable L.A. birthday was at Kate Mandellini’s. Probably would have been the regular spot if it still existed. Anyway, pretty much everyone I know was pissed we didn’t get to be in attendance at the ‘Heat’ screening they had at the Academy. DeNiro, Pacino, Michael Mann, with a Q&A moderated by […]
Blues into the weekend. Have a good one everybody.
Been considering changing my Twitter bio again. A out of respect for Warners and Batfleck and the new direction/generation, and b, because, well, I’m not really a ‘silent guardian’ anymore (not on Sundays anyway…) Some things will never change though. Enjoy.
First, Kaepernick. Don’t have much to add here. My father, uncles, cousins, good friends are all veterans so I’ve always stood for the national anthem out of respect for them. But if the man doesn’t want to do it, and he’s expressed why he doesn’t want to do it, I’ve been there too. And […]

Then, the skeletons started re-emerging in this case, out of […]
Happy Birthday Nate Dogg. We still miss you. And this song is probably my favorite of Fiddy’s. Enjoy and have a good weekend!
In my actor/writer/producer cycle, 2016 has been a writing year. But not all that long ago, I was asked to come in and read for a Shakespeare play. I’ve had a monologue from Othello in my utility belt for years; this was the first time as a professional someone asked to see it. Earned […]
A Public Service Announcement for my fellow Angelenos: Number one of my best concerts ever is Prince at the Forum. Number two is Stevie at the Bowl. These guys at the Bowl is number three.
