lady gaga's next getup: walking Christmas tree

It’s been a busy past couple weeks and I’m loving it! Now primarily, I’m a film and television actor, but I enjoy doing motion capture for interactive media because it allows my growing skills in acting to work out their imagination muscles. Whereas on a film set you interact with what’s in front of you, on a mocap volume you interact with what you imagine is in front of you...it’s like playing make believe!

My phone rang immediately upon my return to Los Angeles from Madrid. The casting director who had chosen me to play Crosby in Call of Duty: Black Ops had booked me to play a conflicted police officer in a soon-to-be-released action game. The character was really fun to develop, and I had the great privilege to work with CSI’s Archie Kao. Our chemistry was on point and every scene was thrilling to create!

A few weeks later, my good friend Thom Williams asked if I would be available to lend my Wushu abilities to spice up the action in a fighting game. Getting paid to play? I’m in!

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: I’m loving it!
