"Hone your Craft in New York"

Last month, or at least I think it was last month... Time compresses in LA since the seasons don't change. Last month... Actually February. February? Jesus... February, my old friend, Michael O'Keefe, from middle school happened to be in Hollyweird to cover the Oscars and interview some folks for his radio show in Ottawa: Movie Mondays on CKCU FM 93.1. What a gig! Anyway, while he was in town we caught a couple of 35mm movies at the New Beverly Cinema (famously owned by the man Quentin Tarantino), and later were denied access to an After Party for the Oscars. Apparently, it was overrated. But the highlight is that Mike wanted to interview me too! Being that I've been living in Los Angeles as an actor since 2011, I was honored to offer my insights on diversity, politics and show business. I say a lot of things in the interview, but I guess the most memorable was to "hone your craft in New York, and sell out in LA." Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for that check...

After being turned away from an Oscars After Party, Mike and I found a better time at the Belmont.
