INDIANA JONES 4 ROCKS!!!!!

Well, the big one is finally out in theaters worldwide.  I've seen it three times....once at the press screening, then at the cast and crew screening and at the famous Arclight Dome in Hollywood with about 50 Florida State University alumnis and some LA friends..e.g. actors, directors, writers and fans.  It was a hit!!!  I'm real happy with the way the movie came out.  Steven Spielberg and George Lucas hit the nail on the head in every aspect of the film.  They are true masters of the craft of movie making.  I was also quite happy with my scenes.  I looked pretty suave in my custom made three-piece suit, circa 1950's and loved the diner scene where I approach Indy and Mutt and tell them they will come with us with the letter/map to the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.  The brawl that broke out was sooooo classic.  I also got a huge laugh from the audience when the anti-communist signs were hitting me during the end of the chase scene.  I laughed too....that's exactly what Steven and I were going for when discussing that shot.  I love it when a plan comes together.  

So, I've done about fifteen interviews for print..e.g. The Daily Variety, Backstage West, Fancast.com, etc.  and two on-camera interviews with TV Guide Network's "Hollywood 411" and Reelz Channel, "One on One".  The Hollywood 411 interview can be seen online at (http://www.veoh.com/videos/v12025877sydSrhZF)..and I'll eventually have it on my site under the soon to be added "PRESS" button.  Other projects are starting to roll in as well, both T.V. pilots, guest stars and feature films.  All very cool.  The coolest thing so far is that I have been invited to Monte Carlo in South France to be a guest for the International T.V. Festival in June.  I'll be going with my publicist, Charles Sherman, and doing some interviews for entertainment media from around the world.  The last night I am told will be a gala black tie event at the Prince of Monaco's castle, honoring the great TV producer/writer, Dick Wolf.  I am truly honored and excited to be in the company of such great entertainment giants.  What a time it will be.  I'll take some pictures and a few little video clips and will share them with you all on my website.  Shots from the topless beaches I will keep in my own private photo album....Ha Ha!  

That's all for now.  Much more to come.

What's New with DD

Well, today is the beginning of a busy week, destined to be epic.  Yesterday afternoon I went to see Indiana Jones IV at Paramount Studios.  It was screened three times yesterday for press, mainly.  I joined my publicist, agent and manager for the screening, which was a packed house.  Indiana Jones IV ROCKS!!!  What a great film!!  Steven Spielberg did an outstanding job with all elements of the film.  The acting was great, the special effects, breathtaking, the story went to a place that is very thought provoking and the comical aspect was very well done.  I would give it a 9.5 out of 10.0. The only reason I didn't give it a TEN is because my role wasn't bigger...LOL.  Actually most of what I did in the movie is in the final cut.  I can't say enough about how enjoyable it is and  how relieved I am that it turned out so great.  Not that I doubted Steven and George and Frank/Kathlene with being able to treat it like a baby.  This film was jam packed with A-list talent from top to bottom, so the result is pretty clear.  

This past week I worked on the CBS show, "without a trace" as a guest star, "Yuri Ovsenko", a Ukrainian gangster who collects debts the hard way.  It will air next fall as the second episode of the year. The picture you see is how I end up at the end of the episode......DAMN!, I should have ducked.
