TMN magazine issue 02

If you could co-star in a
feature with any actor who
would it be?
Ellen Burstyn! Everything she
does is absolutely authentic in
every way. I will never forget
watching Requiem for a Dream
and leaving the theater in tears.
She steals each and every scene
with just her eyes! I could watch
her read the phone book and be
entertained.
What's a typical day for you on
set? What's your favorite thing
to do to pass the time?
I will most likely be at the craft
service table hogging the coffee
or waiting for the next snack to
be brought out. I will never be
that guy taking pictures of my
food and posting it since I'm too
busy devouring it.
Lately to pass the time I have been
watching classic MTV 80's videos
online. Anytime I can go back and
recapture a memory from my
childhood from a certain song I am
on it!
What is it like to work with
Heather Graham?
I know actors say this all the time,
but she was seriously one of the
greatest actors I have ever worked
with. Her talent and gift for
comedy is such a wonderful thing
to be around. She wrote and
directed this film "Half Magic" Was
I nervous? YES? Did the sound guy
tell me he could hear my heart
beating through the mic taped to
my chest? YES? [LAUGHS] It's
always a little difficult working
with someone you had a little
crush on. But her laugh definitely
helped bring me back down to the
not so nervous land.
What's next for you?
I'm sort of addicted to
working and staying busy
but I'm really looking
forward to shutting off my
ADHD brain and spending
the Holidays with my
family. A table full of turkey
and cherry pies is always a
great excuse!
Thank you, David!
