My KILLER Hotel Experience with Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas

WOW! Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas is Killer! I’m staying here with a friend from NYC while he is attending PromaxBDA Conference. In the Corporate Suite. With a very generous expense account! In a coincidence, I’ll be working next door at the T-Mobile Arena as a Stand In for the National Hockey League Awards the next couple days.

Crazy White Boy Stand In for Drake at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards

(Unfortunately, Dick Clark Productions asked me to take down the full video of my surreal experience as the Stand In for Drake at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards due to ownership and licensing. The below 10 second video was sent to me by a fan.)

Dick Clark Productions (DCP) produces many Awards Shows for TV, including the 2017 Billboard Music Awards. I have worked as a Stand In on several other TV shows, but it has been very difficult breaking into the DCP family of shows.

The music was there, the singers had the voices, but sadly I couldn’t hear them very well. That is a function of the theatre where I saw it, not the fault of Mr Fantom or Mr DisneyContinue reading “An Actor Reviews NEWSIES – a special Fathom Events and Disney Theatrical Productions”

My Thoughts On The SAG Awards 2017 Broadcast

The 23rd Annual SAG Awards broadcast was last night (January 29, 1917) on TNT and TBS. Production did a great job of keeping the show flowing. It was bright and snappy and didn’t drag. The Presenters looked and spoke well with no major blunders.

For the first time, I watched the Red Carpet Special on the E! Channel before the broadcast. I don’t normally like the fashion aspect since it is the complete opposite of what the acting process is about.
