Oh my God! You flunked Kenny!

Got an awesome wrong number today. I didn’t answer because I didn’t recognize the number and the message that was waiting for me was AWESOME.
There was an angry lady leaving a message who spoke broken English. Apparently, Kenny hasn’t been turning in his homework all week and if Kenny doesn’t start turning in homework he’s [...]

What he said

Sometimes I know what I want to say but can never come up with the exact wording or phrasing to express it. My buddy Justin is not that way. He has a series of blogs called “Answering Questions” that is not only amazing to read, but no matter what side of the topic you are [...]

Is George home?

So something actually happened at my night job worth talking about…
For those of you who don’t know, I work in the evenings at a place that works with mutual fund companies. I call shareholders and ask them to vote along with the board of their funds for their shareholder meeting. Thrilling, I know. But it’s [...]

Just a Regular Day for Ed

So Ed, what did you do today?
Oh, you know, the usual…went to work on the set of the new film The Devil Wears Prada where I got to work in some scenes with Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, Heidi Klum, and the designer Valentino.
What an odd day indeed. I got the call last night from my [...]

Temptation

As I returned from my lunch break at work this evening, I saw a lonely umbrella on the sidewalk leaning against a fence next to a scooter. I really wanted to steal it. Well, I guess it wouldn’t be stealing so much as it would be taking. It looked like a really nice umbrella, too.
But [...]

And in the role of Cliff Robertson…Me

Earlier this year I was in a production of Sunday in New York in Nashville. Last week when I was at the library I found the old movie version of it starring Jane Fonda and Some Guy. The part I played was played by Cliff Robertson. It was interesting seeing the differences in line readings [...]

Money for Nothing (Kicks are Free)

Last night I worked as an extra on a TV Pilot called “The Black Donnellys.” It was written and being directed by Paul Haggis, the guy who wrote the films “Crash” and “Million Dollar Baby.”
It was crazy cold last night, and I was there from 5:30pm until about 12:30. A cold night in Spanish Harlem [...]

The Natural High

Last night was my first rehearsal with the National Comedy Theatre. I had a blast; so much fun! It’s just really cool to be doing what I love to do so much once again. There are about 6 of us from the audition who got hired but a couple of the people couldn’t make it [...]
