So, I just finished work on two new commercials to defend my title at the annual Big Rock Beer Eddies....stay tuned!!

Stay tuned to as I should get some photo's from the production of "Swarm" where I had to throw myself into a character by "ugling myself" up as one shouldn't be more beautiful than Antonio Sabato Jr!
January 2007
2007 couldn't start any better as I've landed a role as a trouble making Texan in a M.O.W called "Swarm"! Think "Snakes on a Plane" with ants! It's gonna be awesome!!

I decided to offer my short film "Butterflies" to the world... let the world know where you saw it and pass the link along! It's good clean fun and it goes well with following my humor in LA. Write me and tell me what you think of it. Also, check out my demo reel I put together, tell me what you think of that too if you wish. I do plan on sexing it up a little more in the future but it's what I could come up with while away from home. AND, stay tuned for a photos section... it's about time I put some on set photos on my site!

I'm in LA doing the Lesly Kahn comedy intensive... it's great to be a part of a world that excites you. Everyday we work on sitcom pieces and everyday I get to share a laugh- what could be better in life than laughter?
August 23 2006
I know it's been forever since I've written anything but I've been away.... I was in Europe enjoying Portuguese wine and piri piri chicken. I'm just back in Vancouver but leaving in September to go to LA to study with Lesly Kahn a saught after sitcom coach/teacher! I'm gonna learn how to be funny!

Butterflies is being sent to a few more festivals... the search for what's out there continues. As for acting work it's been a bit slow, so I've been taking some Shakespeare acting classes for the last month and also decided to look after my 7 year nephew for a little bit just to remind him who his favourite uncle is.
June 29, 2005
I thought I should let everyone know... my short film "Butterflies" is so close to being finished it's silly. There are a few touch ups to do here and there but for the most part it's done. I have sent copies to the TIFF and the VIFF so keep your fingers crossed. It looks amazing and for a directorial debue one couldn't ask for a better product.
June 9, 2005
The good news keeps just rolling in! I landed the part of "Dr. Major Kressler", leader of the SG-5 team on the hit TV series, "Stargate SG-1". There is talk of the part becoming a reoccurring role!

The last day of filming "Stranger in My Bed" and what a blast it was! I also changed agencies and have officially joined the Lucas Talent Agency and am looking very forward to this positive step in the right direction!
May 14, 2005

Elvis has left the building.... for now! After a a few very productive months in LA I have to make the trip home. "Butterflies" needs my attention. A production package and the sound has to be put together for this little gem of a film. LA treated me great. Time and time again my talent was recognized and there was only one oops on my part. Every audition was followed up with the highest of praise of my acting abilities, except one, I have to admit. I finally had my worst audition ever! It was great! It's an experience every actor should have as it inspires growth. Other than that I know LA will miss me! To be continued for sure.....
Mar 13, 2005
TONS OF EXCITING THINGS!! My short film "Butterflies" today finished it's video edit and it is AWESOME!!! Sound will be done in a few weeks but the potential on this little Gem is great. I have to really mention how talented Yee Jee Tso and James Groome are as without these two long time friends "Butterflies" might not have reached it's true potential. I'm also trying to put together the filming of a teaser I have written for D.R.A.G and I also started writing a one man show for the theatre! Who knew I could be so diverse and talented!

LA is all about the poker. Went to a big $50 buy in tournament and got an unfortunate earlier than desired exit BUT went into another game there after with 9 people and a $10 buy in... was down to 80c at one point and came back to win it all!!! However, I'm still in LA trying to become important. I had to turn a couple gigs down due to Canadian citizenship and I've written quite a good teaser for the expanded idea from our 5 second movie... very exciting.
Feb. 23, 2005
LA has become a puddle. Roads are collapsing. Hills are sliding and rain is falling. I'm just plugging away at trying to find a manager and selling my script, "Mr. Romantic". Considering the success of "Hitch", it's a good idea. I'm not going to lie about the realities of LA but there is hope as this city allows one to be pro-active- which is right up my alley. The 5 second movie we made looks like a go ahead for something more.... I'll keep ya posted.
Feb. 16, 2005
I auditioned for a CBS movie on scott Patterson for the role of Scott. Turns out my audition was perfect but I just don't look close enough to the part. Well, the boyz and I made a 5 second movie for a contest for the new cadillac series. Click here to enjoy our fun. Or for great detail, click here.
Feb. 12, 2005
Poker night, LA style with da boyz. Chris Kramer, Aaron Trainor, Rick Tae, Neil Phelps, Heath Whitelock and me.
Feb. 10, 2005
I went to a second audition with Jeff Greenberg (Cheers casting dude... best sitcom of all time!) for a new sitcom at NBC called "Four Kings". On route I bumped into a couple Vancouver up and comers I know. Tyler Labine and Warren Christie.... check them out on IMDB...fellow Canucks doing good! Dan Payne and I went for a drink the other night and I've gotten calls or bumped into other Vancouverites so I'm not alone in my pursuit these days for local support! Now, I'm figuring I need to find a manager as I can only accomplish so much by myself...if anyone has any recomendations...email me!
