I was quoted in “Readers Share Their ‘Back Stage’ Stories”, an article helping celebrate the 50th anniversary of Back Stage.

A short story I wrote has just been published as part of the dark fantasy anthology “Hunt the Winterlands”. You can buy the book here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1467962287/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_alp_kWd6ob1184TF2

Catch me talking football on Fantasy Football Overload:

A lot of people will tell you that acting is fairly straightforward, and that those who pay for or spend their time being trained in new acting methods are wasting their time. But this isn’t true at all – acting is like any other career – only by educating yourself in certain techniques can you progress to more advanced, higher-paying work.

I recently finished watching Season 3 of Mad Men (I know, I know, I’m was behind the times, but I’ve been watching DVD and am now all caught up).

As everyone who follows the show knows, the next to last episode of of that season deals with the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Having not been alive during that time, I was struck by the depiction of everyone’s response–glued to the TV, crying, a personal sense of devastation–and how the only event in my lifetime that ever generated a similar response was the 9/11 attacks (with Hurricane Katrina the only other event even in the ballpark).
