Here’s the first in what I hope will be a continuing series of entries about my job as a tour guide at Universal Studios. Maybe it’s just me, but I think this job is really fascinating. As a Universal tour guide, you are witness to both the wide-eyed optimism of young tourists dreaming the Hollywood dream, and the crushing depression of adults who have long since given up on said dream.

Pac Man continues its reign of terror on the internet. It made it onto the “Hit Links” list at the bottom of imdb.com. Check it out here: IMDB!
If you are a famous producer who stumbled upon this page due to IMDB, I’m a writer/director/editor/actor, and I will do all of these for you as soon as you wish.
And of course, here’s the movie.
And if you like Pac Man, you’ll like this one more: several movies based on Disneyland rides.

A pleasant surprise while Googling this morning, I found an IMDB page for myself! I was an intern for 6 months at “Moral Orel”, created and produced by the great Dino Stamatopoulos. While there, I poorly fumbled around building puppet bodies, made awkward conversation, and did a fair amount of After Effects work. Here’s an episode that is both extremely funny and which features several shots I worked on. Watch around 10:18 for when Orel is putting a pin in a guy’s ass and it falls to the ground, I did the wire removal on that one!

As many of you know, I’m a tour guide at Universal Studios (where you can ride the movies). Occasionally I check Youtube for clips of me doing the tour, and I recently found a couple. This will give you a small taste of the hilarity I bring to this Los Angeles institution, and and even bigger taste of what I get to sit through 3 times a day.

I don’t want this just to be a site about my movies, I also want to keep you guys up to date on the latest music! With that in mind, let me tell you a band that has been simply rocking all of my socks lately. They’re called Linkin Park.
