I had the honor of appearing in the SMOSH episode I’m Possessed! with founders Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla. I played a demon with a resemblance to Darth Maul. My appearance is for a split second but it was so much fun. Got to be made up by a very talented makeup artist. She used an airbrush to do most of the makeup coverage and then added the fine details. It took about 2 hours and probably took that long to get cleaned up afterwards. Totally worth it. Here’s the episode: In case you blinked and missed it, here’s a still shot of me in the makeup room sans demon...
Read MoreI’ve smelled it on myself before. Desperation. One day, you’re on fire. You’re auditioning, getting callbacks, booking left and right, upside down, round and round. If you’re not auditioning, you’re booking. If you’re not booking, you’re already on set. Feels so good. Checks are in the mail. Then one day, the bottom drops out. A harsh winter hits. Famine. Why aren’t they calling? How come I’m not being sent out? FUD sets in. Fear. Uncertainty. Doubt. Don’t let it. It will mess you up at your next audition. The decision makers will smell it on you. See it on you. The camera picks up everything. They rarely...

Read MoreA little over a month ago I entered an online acting contest put on by Audition America. While they put the judging on hold until they can secure a TV deal, they have started posting contestants’ entries. I don’t know where anything stands with the contest but here’s my audition monologue via their YouTube channel. It’s one of my favorite monologues from one of my least favorite films. It was originally performed by John Travolta in Swordfish. If you want to grab the monologue yourself, visit Colin’s Movie Monologue Page. I’ve been using the site for years. View it and let me know what you think in the comments section....
Read MoreHere’s a short preview of one of my sketches for The Sketchbook Project 2011. My sketchbook theme is “The View from Up Here.” The title of this piece is “What Every Frog Aspires to Be.” I plan to create a video for each and every sketch to document my progress. This will probably be the only video for a while because I’m busy sketching and doing a bunch of other stuff, too. Not enough time in the day. Once I have the whole sketchbook done, I’ll release more videos. I want to add music to future videos but finding catchy royalty-free music is a challenge. Using copyrighted songs gets your videos yanked from...
