Hello there former friend, casual acquiantance, colleague, potential employer, or complete stranger. Thanks for looking me up.
I'm an actor/comedian/writer/assassin born and raised in New York. I've been performing at the Upright Citizens Brigade since 2001, and am currently on house team "The Fucking Kennedys."
My credits include 30 Rock, Comedy Centrals upcoming "Important Things w/ Demetri Martin", the Comedy Central pilot "Michael and Michael Have Issues", the feature film "The Winning Season" starring Sam Rockwell and Rob Corrdry, the pilot A/V Club, from the creators of the "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" and the ABC prank-show pilot "ImprovEverywhere", the feature film "The Last Film Festival" with Dennis Hopper and Leelee Sobieski, As The World Turns, Guiding Light, All My Children, about a dozen bits on Conan O'Brien. I was a contributing writer for two seasons on MTV's "The Andy Milonakis Show." I've been in hundreds of performances in at least 40 different runs of sketch and improv shows, including two UCB House Teams ("Monkeydick" and currently "The Fucking Kennedys") and the nine month run of "The Darkside of the Moon Show", a sketch comedy play set entirely to the Pink Floyd album. Commercials:T-Mobile, Mastercard, ESPN, Nabisco, Bank of America, SpikeTV, and others, and done voiceover for Microsoft.
I continue to write and perform, mostly at the UCB, as well as teach improv comedy. I also rollerskate and like to play scrabble on facebook. My proudest accomplishment however is creating the phrase "Coleslawesome" which didn't catch on at all.
Here is my reel:
In my spare time i volunteer helping old people at a nursing home (seriously), do Shambala meditation, drink, do karaoke, read comic books and wikipedia, and try to be a superhero.
At UCB I've performed in hundreds of shows in over 40 different unique sketch and improv shows at the UCB, including long running shows such as an 18th month of REAL REAL WORLD (a satire of MTV's The Real World), ANYDAYVILLE (improvised tv pilots), and LIQUID COURAGE (hard to explain). I am a founding member offensively named improv groups SH!T-STORM and UCB Harold Team MONKEYDICK, a house team for four years. I co-wrote and starred in the nine month run of "BUY BEG BORROW OR STEAL: THE 'DARK SIDE OF THE MOON' SHOW", a sketch comedy show that synced up perfectly with Pink Floyd's classic album. It was a TimeOut NY Critics Pick, Gothamist.com Pick, Flavorpill Pick and L Magazine Reccomended. I also created the impov jam THE MOSH at The PIT, the 70's cop show parody LOOSE CANNONS and the Star Trek homage "SPACESHIP FANTASTICA."
"ROSS MEETS THE WIZARD", which i co-wrote and starred in was also a TimeOut NY Critics Pick. ROSS MEETS THE WIZARD and DARKSIDE were both written with my frequent writing partner and best bud Eric Appel,with whom i also worked with at THE ANDY MILONAKIS SHOW for MTV, who has since written for Crank Yankers, Human Giant and Superdeluxe.
Here is the intro video:
Here is a video of an entire live performance of ROSS MEETS THE WIZARD, as performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater NY:
T- Mobile "Busted" featuring the song "Secret Lovers", then the follow up commercials in the campaign:

Mastercard (priceless):
I am also one half of "Coyote Handsome", Sean Clements and my sketch comedy and tv production duo. Our debut project was "Pitch Men: Season 1 Preview" - "All AJ and Travis ever wanted were to be Hollywood big shots. But there's a problem: they don't have talent, they don't have money, and they don't have any idea what they're doing. But they do have a dream. After many many failed projects they've finally gotten their big break - they're going to make a movie out of one the bestselling books of all time: The Dictionary." Watch the preview below:
We follwed that up with a series of 30 second shorts called "Would You Rather?"

I continue to perform at UCB, teach improv and write.
Don't feel weird sending me a message. I'd probably love to hear from you, stranger or friend. If i do know you doubt I bear you ill will or blame you for us losing touch, even it was under unpleasent circumstances. Don't feel bad if i don't write back - I'm kinda bad with stuff like that, and am still somewhat antisocial.
Man, T- Mobile, Mastercard, anything else I might see here in the west. I will be in town Wednesday and leaving Sunday. Maybe see you Thursday at the bar for a couple?
