I had a ton of fun working on the project, creating my character “Chet” alongside all of the other Lord Dynamite (Spontaneous Productions) improvisors. We improvised all of the dialogue, and I love how it turned out.

Look for Episode “The Scarlet Neighbor” Soon!
10 May 2012 9:56 AM, PDT
Last night, we expected to see this guy on ABC’s “Don’t Trust the B—– in Apartment 23” as the Pear Vendor. Alas, they rearranged the episodes. “The Scarlet Neighbor,” originally slated to be the 5th episode, did not air. Hopefully we will see it on the schedule soon!
Thanks for tuning in and for all of your continued support.
Cheers!

Fantastic Limoncello Recipe!
9 May 2012 12:22 PM, PDT
On our honeymoon, we traveled to the seaside town of Minori, Italy. The Amalfi Coast happens to be the lemon capital of the universe. While hiding from the rain in a bar, we chatted up the owner in English and his wife in Italian, and their patrons whom Casey suspects to be the local mafia representatives.
Anyway, the owner’s wife let us try (and then wrote down) her fantastic
Homemade Limoncello Recipe
8-10 Yellow-Green Lemons* 1 Liter of Pure Grain Alcohol (95%) 750 Grams of Sugar 1.1 Liters of Water * The lemons are key! Only use lemons from the second flowering of the season. This happens in September on the Amalfi Coast. Pick them before they are fully yellow, with some green still remaining in the rind.
Step 1: Wash and dry the lemons. Remove the yellow-green peel with a peeler or grater. You only want the yellow-green rind, not the fruit or the white part. »

Tinnitus with Tenacious D from Bob Odenkirk
The promo video I shot with The D premiered on RollingStone.com, but now lives on Funny or Die! »
Video: Tittinus Promo for Tenacious D “Rize of the Fenix”
4 May 2012 12:24 PM, PDT
I had the opportunity a few weeks ago to work with Jack Black and Kyle Gass on the promo video for Tenacious D’s upcoming album, “Rize of the Fenix.”
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/tenacious-d-tinnitus-20120425
The sketch was written by Bob Odenkirk (Mr. Show) who also plays the doctor in the video. Katy Foley and I are visible as a couple of researchers, experimenting on fellow iO West improvisers Mort Burke and Amy Phillips.
It was a pleasure to meet and chat up the kind soul that is John Ennis (Mr. Show), and walking legend Rudy Sarzo (Quiet Riot, Whitesnake, and Ozzy Osbourne’s band). »

“Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23″ Premiers April 11th
23 March 2012 12:26 PM, PDT
Leads Krysten Ritter and Dreama Walker may be slightly more invested in the show’s success than I am, but we are all thrilled for the upcoming premier of Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23!
Keep your eye peeled for episode #105, in which I play the Pear Vendor. I’m going to guess that it will air May 9th? Still suffering Ptsd from the farmers market scene…

“I Love Lucy Live” in Chicago!
21 March 2012 10:03 AM, PDT
In addition to the upcoming Los Angeles production, a separate I Love Lucy® Live on Stage is going up in Chicago this year! The Nederlander’s Broadway Playhouse had an opening in the schedule, so the musical will run from September 12th through November 11th.
I’m excited for the producers and for their successes with Lucy everywhere. They are well on their way to an eventual U.S. tour.
The cast in Chicago will likely be new, local, and very talented. Actors: keep your eyes peeled for upcoming casting notices.
Stay tuned for news regarding the Los Angeles production, currently in negotiations.

“Lucy” Closing at Greenway
22 February 2012 5:02 PM, PST
This week will be the last at Greenway Court Theater for I Love Lucy Live on Stage! The 109-show run has been amazing fun, but it’s time for us to move on to a bigger venue.
It’s hard to believe we started rehearsals over 6 months ago. The show has been such a big part of all of our lives, it’s going to be strange having free nights again in March.
Stay tuned to ilovelucylive.com for the details, and you’ll probably find out where we are headed before I do! »

Actors: How Does the SAG-aftra Merger Affect You?
3 February 2012 5:21 PM, PST
SAG & AFTRA are officially moving to merge. Ballots are on their way for members to vote. I am a pro-merger actor for a variety of reasons, but we should all be aware of the realistic effects of the merger.
Having read the merger documents, these are the takeaways of how the SAG-aftra will actually affect actors:
The budgets will be combined, so…no cost savings. (Merger Agreement, Xii, A) Initiation fees will be $3,000 for 3 years following the merger (Merger Agreement, Xii, B) Annual dues will be $198 for the 3 years following the merger, so…no cost savings (Merger Agreement, Xii, C) Dues will increase 2% per year (Merger Agreement, Xii, C) Work dues will be 1.575% up to $500k (Merger Agreement, Xii, D, 1) Membership eligibility stays the same: open to all principal actors in union projects, and background after 3 union days (Constitution, III, A, 1, a) A strike vote requires 75% approval of those affected by the strike (Constitution, »
