Today was a fun day for me so I’ll tell a lighter story this go round… For the first time in a little while I found myself driving through Hollywood at night. Even though I’m more or less retired from being on the Strip, one of the things I’ve always enjoyed about living here, […]
For those of you who asked about my look in reference to yesterday’s post: The quote above is a famous Stella Adler quote about defining a character through what they wear.
ESPN’s documentary ‘The Announcement’ didn’t have too many revelations, but was a bittersweet trip down memory road if you were any kind of Magic Johnson fan. So how big of a Magic Johnson fan am I? Well for the uninitiated… After Michael Jackson, Magic was easily my second biggest childhood idol, and my favorite […]
So, I want to make my first feature length film… Step one, as is always the case, was creating the script. I caught parts of Clooney on the Actors Studio over the weekend, and I agree with his sentiment that you can take a good script and make a bad film out of it, […]
The Malik Aziz Foundation held its annual Black History Month dinner on Wednesday in an undisclosed location in Beverly Hills. This year’s Guest of Honor was Aaron Rahsaan Thomas, who participated in an interview, followed by a Q&A with our benefactors, trustees, and their guests. The following is a transcript from the untelevised interview session. […]
How about something fun for my last post of 2011? So 99 times out of 100 when I’m sent sides (an audition script), I can look at the product as a whole, look at where the character fits into the story, and build something from the ground up. But there was one screen test […]
So if you’re like me, you’re probably still digesting your giblets. Got an extra day off work. If you’re really like me, you’re avoiding anything that remotely resembles a shopping center this weekend. So what do you do hot shot, what do you do? I’ll tell you what to do; you can catch “Lady […]
A friend across the pond has passions similar to mine so when I got home tonight I shot a quick video promoting our mutual interests. You can see that below. The mustache I’m sporting for another week is for Movember; it’s certainly drawn attention to that cause. I guess at the moment I’m socially […]
One of the things I enjoy most about social media (Twitter specifically) is the ability to converse with people you may not get to in your normal routine of life. I get on the interwebs and have fun (as you probably know since you’re online reading this). One of the unexpected benefits that I’ve […]
I’ve talked a lot about what I am, and not much lately about what I do. I’ve been treated to some pleasant news which through sheer coincidence of timing came while I’ve been fasting. The last script that I wrote was a semi-autobiographical story about growing up as a Muslim in pre and post […]
