From the hustle and bustle of traveling to a new location to work on a show, settling into my temporary living quarters, and prepping for another great adventure in the world of living my dreams (woohoo!) I'm finally taking a moment to wind down and taking on some light reading. Among the literary pieces of choice are my Twitter news feed, throngs of freshly delivered magazines, and my writer-extraordinaire-friend's blog. The 140-character quips and glossy-covered manuals on fashion and culture take my mind on a brief holiday, but it's when I read my friend's words about blogging that a certain inspiration struck: I'm WAY overdue for a blog update!
It's been a fantastically busy past few weeks since my last entry, riddled with the kinds of busyness that keep a smile plastered to my face! Absolutely awesome auditions, magnificent meetings, greater than gold gigs, and hangouts of the highest happiness are among some of the happenings that have filled my days. I'd talk in depth about them all but I might lose you readers by chapter 25, so here are three short and sweet things I'll share to tickle your fancies:
I had the pleasure to work for my friend and stunt coordinator Mitch Gould a while back on a show he was putting together called Kickin' It. Our episode, Kickin' It In China, just aired on Disney XD a couple weeks ago and it came out great! We had so much fun on the set and Leo Howard is a total badass. If you wanna check out the action we did on the show, jump to 9:34 on the video link above (that first Tournament Fighter in purple is quite the handsome punk *wink wink nudge nudge* haha)!
Sarah Michelle Gellar may be one of the toughest (and prettiest) actresses out there. So you can imagine when stunt coordinator and Kung Fu brother of mine John Medlen called, I was totally game!
In this episode of Ringer, I double Zahn McClarnon, whom I actually worked alongside with years ago on an episode of NBC's "Life." We chase around and tussle with Sarah's character, Bridget, not knowing that she's actually a twin. The result is a maniacal showdown which involves swinging knives, breaking glass, and exploding through doors and leaving no prisoners behind!
And (if it's still online) you can catch all the action in this video...the really fun stuff starts at 37:09! Enjoy!

Kickin' It!
The Young Storytellers "Big Show"
 |
| The future genius screenwriters of Hollywood |
There's something about the wonder, amazement, and laughter in a kid's eyes that reminds us all how simple life can be. Looking out into the audience at the Young Storytellers "Big Show" there definitely was no shortage of that!
The program mentors children in elementary schools all around Los Angeles County to let their imaginations run free and encourages them to take their wildest ideas to pen and paper. The result is a stack of some of the most original scripts you'll ever read.

| Photo-opping with possibly the next Judd Apatow |
After the scripts have been polished and fine tuned, the organization puts on a grand assembly to showcase these students' great ideas. We actors come in and bring life to the characters and words these creative kids write. It's a fun and hilarious collaborative effort and most recently it's had me reprise my recurring role of Justin Bieber in several different forms (i.e. "Gummy Bieber"). Adoring fans and killer dance moves? I can live with that.
The CW's "Ringer"
