What's New with DD

Well, it's been a while since I've sat down and written anything regarding the latest, current events going on with me, so here is the latest.

First, I'm anxiously awaiting the air-dates for two big TV shows on which I play nice guest star roles.  The episode entitled, "push comes to shove" is going to be the second new show of the season on "Without a Trace."  In it I play a Russian bookie/collections guy named Yuri Ovsenko.  This episode should air sometime in late September or early October 2008.  Second is another guest star on the highly anticipated new NBC drama, "My Own Worst Enemy", starring Christian Slater.  This show will be a HIT.  I can sense it.  The writing is great and the director is a real man's man with a great sense of reality and authenticity.  Incase you haven't seen the commercials for it, it is about a black ops American agent who has two distinct personalities that are controlled by his bosses.  One is a normal guy with a family and a mundane job and the other is a highly trained "Jason Bourne - type" operative who goes out on missions across the world and comes back to his mundane life as if nothing happened due to his scientifically altered dual personality.  In this show I play the character "Goldteeth" and my partner in crime is played by my good friend and fabulous actor Mark Ivanir from "The Good Shepherd".  Christian Slater was a joy to work with as well.  He is a very genuine guy and I wish him success in this show and other projects he may do in the future.  

In other news, I've been doing a lot of voice over work for video games.  Most recently I have played the role of The Russian Commissar in the internationally acclaimed war game, "Call of Duty 5."  I also played Commander Oleg in the E.A. war game, "Red Alert 3."  In this game I'm actually on camera too, which is a different experience as a voice over actor.  Both these games are due out around Christmas time this year.  

The dark comedy movie, "Remarkable Power" that I shot a few years ago is still showing at film festivals around the U.S. and getting great reviews.  Infact it will be showing the last night of the Southern California Film Festival in Huntington Beach, California on September 13th at 6pm.  In this film I co-star with Tom Arnold, Kevin Nealon, Chris Titus and Kip Pardue.  I play "IVAN" the annoyed porn director and one of my original solo guitar compositions is in the soundtrack.
