I'm an actor in the twilight of my youth who lives in New York City. Chances are we're both staring at this freaking page. It's likely to evolve about as quickly as a trilobite into Penelope Cruz, but hey, at least we're spending quality time together.
Since Glenn Beck and Rachel Maddow Won't Grease Themselves Up and Wrestle...
... We Offer You the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War.
Click on your favorite flag to reserve your tickets now!
"What's a sesquicentennial?" you may be asking yourself, "and most importantly, is it contagious?"
Well, the plague of battle spread like a virus during the latter half of the 19th century. And depending on how you personally interpret the War Between the States, the iconic Alabama Shakespeare Festival is giving the country a dramatic way to commemorate, mark, or simply acknowledge the 150th year since that defining conflict began.
A product of ASF's acclaimed Southern Writers Project, the company will present two plays in rotation, both set in Montgomery, Alabama, and both drawing on historical figures and events.
In the first, The Flag Maker of Market Street, I play southern unionist William Bibb, scion of a prominent Alabama family who nonetheless opposes the formation of the Confederacy. I switch sides for the other play, Blood Divided, as William Lowndes Yancey, a rebel "fire-eater" and the man credited (or blamed) by many as the individual most responsible for starting the Civil War in the first place.
You're free to choose sides, just please, don't give away the ending.

I HAVE BEEN TO THE MOUNTAINTOP, AND I HAVE SEEN THE PROMISED LAND.
Neil Armstrong. Sir Edmund Hillary. Winston Churchill. Katie Holmes.
These people have some idea of what it's like to be me.
At long last, after much toil and imposed patience, I shall appear on Law & Order. Special Victims Unit, in fact, which we all know is the sexiest wing ofthe franchise.
Sleep on that, D'Onofrio.

An Error of the Moon
Performing now through October 10 off-Broadway in NYC!
Ever wonder what sort of relationship famous actor Edwin Booth had with his infamous brother, the assassin John Wilkes Booth?
I bet Abraham Lincoln would have.
Put yourself in Lincoln's seat and explore it with Luigi Creatore's "speculation" (not to be confused with that thing gynecologists use) through October 10 at Theatre Row in the heart of New York's theater district (notice how I spell it).
Three very pretty people and me (I play all the supporting roles, as well as a harmonica) delve in to this topic for 90 intimate minutes. The performance features a very impressive sword fight, some light profanity, and a couple of fake mustaches. A very buff Mormon kid even takes his shirt off, so don't miss it.

And just to get your appetite "wet," here's a Broadway.com interview with the cast, director, and playwright of the show. Watch me nearly give away the surprise ending!
And if that's not enough, just look--the run time is a perfect palindrome! So watch the thing.

August 24, 2010. The cast and creatives from An Error of the Moon were invited to ring the NASDAQ closing bell. The ceremony was broadcast on the billboards in Times Square. And you thought Dick Clark was cool.
