What's that? I look familiar? Why yes, I do get that a lot, because I'm on television.
I've never wanted to be in front of the camera, but somehow it keeps happening. While some believe it's my raw, primal talent, others claim it's my natural charm and charisma. I'll recuse myself from that one and let the fans duke it out.
Really, I just do it when my bosses ask me to. Probably easier (and cheaper) than hiring an actor. You may remember my appearance in the award-winning 1331 Creative Demo Reel (I played "The Guy"), or from various other station commercials. It keeps happening, people make fun of me, and I do it again for some reason.
Here's the latest spot, and a few classics:
Not bad, right? Don't answer that.
Now you may be quick to point out that I have a minor in theater arts. This is true, though the extent of my acting training did not go beyond an Acting 1 class. Long story short, I got a certificate in film studies, which included several theater arts classes. By the end, I was only one class away from a minor, so I tacked it on.
But hey, I'm acting, and I'm on the clock, so that means I'm a paid actor, right? Woo! Way to go, theater arts minor!
