Bungee jumping, skydiving, rooting for the Florida Marlins, and other completely risky activities.
I'm a sporty, testosterone-y (which I believe is a Chef Boyardee flavor) guy. This is quite a surprise given the fact that I once got mauled by a mob of kindergarteners on Australian television for a rugby ball during a match. True story. I'm convinced those kids were on andro.

Music
I was a music major in college, which narrowly beats dance major as "college major that most likely will leave you homeless". Nevertheless, I somehow have a career (I credit my ability to stop sneezing on command). Favorite bands include Depeche Mode, The Smiths, Genesis, Kenna, Stabbing Westward, Vast, Muse, Iris, Love Spit Love, Lostprophets, Quarashi, Weezer, Wired All Wrong, The Bravery and others.
Now listening to: "Strange Affection" By De/Vision
Movies
I am a complete sucker for the movie American Psycho. I live on the upper west side in a penthouse, so Patrick Bateman somehow was a positive influence. Other than that, go out and see Anchorman, Se7en, Swingers, Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber, Jaws, Jurassic Park, 300, High Fidelity, Superbad, Transformers, and Old School. Avoid movies that advertise as "A heartwarming movie"...they will end in death.
Television
The shows I've worked on, of course: Ellen's Acres, Kappa Mikey, SKWOD, Princess Natasha, MTV's Made, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and the show I currently do character voices for: Thumbwrestlers:
For the other shows: Arrested Development, Lost, The Office, Survivorman, Man vs. Wild, PTI, The Venture Brothers, Flavor of Love, Family Guy, and about a zillion other shows. DVR and Tivo are worth the money.
Books
My favorite book is "A Dirty Job" by Christopher Moore. I actually laughed out loud, which is rare since most know me as a deeply serious individual. I'm also a huge fan of pretty much anything done by Sergio Aragones. Billy Collins poetry is good. For magazines, The Sporting News and Men's Health are worth pickin' up. Reading is fundamental, kids. It's also a railroad in monopoly, which is $200 in your damn pocket if you own the other 3 railroads, which I may or may not own.
Heroes
Turkey and Swiss is good, but how can you go wrong with Prosciutto?! Impossible, I say. As for heroes that are people, I'll go with Franklin, from Arrested Development, for breaking down racial borders.:

About me: I live and work in New York City, one of the top 20 cities in the New York area.
I work in television, helping to make animated cartoons for the kiddies and completely immature idiots like myself.
Besides that, I type in a smug fashion on a keyboard for the basketball site "The Howeva Files":
For more info, please contact any one of my 25 publicists. -And for the last time, autographs aren't free guys. Come on now.
Who I'd like to meet: Former president Zachary Taylor...just to ask how exactly he died from eating cherries. Moron.
I know that there were moments in the past year where I read or heard something and looked around the room frantically to see if any one else was simultaneously feeling the backward slide of civilization, but those moments don't stick with you, and THAT'S the reason Nickelback is the biggest band in the world. There is just too much, too often. While you're reeling from one insult to your intelligence, another comes in the form of a celebrity vagina and puts you on one knee and while the refs back is turned because he's yelling at the obnoxious ringside manager, Family Guy uses the least impressive comedic tactics in history to hold you down while 2 girls and 1 cup pin you for the count. Well, you stand on the losing end of this one sided slug fest for too long, and eventually you are forced to retire before your time. So you remove yourself from actively buying cd's. and switch to vinyl. You cancel cable and watch only Jodoworsky. read strictly Bukowski. Listen to Iron and Wine. drink gin. Smoke cloves. proudly resign from the machine, thinking if you cant play a part you wont play at all. The problem with this, is that you were the only one smart enough to know how to change anything. So, now George Bush is my president and since I don't have satellite radio in the car, I have to hear who else Akon has teamed up with. Thanks assholes.
I used to think, and still kind of do, that when I stopped collecting cards, everyone else did too. As if the Men In Black erased our memory of what a "Beckett" ever was. And not just from my friends minds, I mean eradicated them from history. I don't remember anyone ever asking me to trade cards and me having to say "naw man, im into metallica now. Sorry". it was just like a flock of birds who communally decide to change direction, the whole world stopped card collecting. Then I realized something. MYSPACE is the new flea market. You collect people who are branded with stats and you
Jordan. It's been so long since we've seen your face at 37th street, Steve and I have taken to creating a bust of you out of the dust which has slowly been collecting at your old work area over the past few months. This is what we have so far:
It doesn't look like much yet, but we're getting there!
