Thoughts, musings, and ruminations.
I'm currently in production as a recurring cast member on the new HBO series The Girls on the Bus. Melissa Benoist helms a show chronicling four female journalists on the campaign trail. A party bus of flawed presidential candidates, friendship, love, and a scandal that could take down not just the presidency but democracy itself. I'm proud and grateful to be a part of this important show and can't wait for you to see it. Air date not yet announced
The Lost Treasure Of JJ Abrams
Starring Max Darwin and Adrienne Wilson.
Directed by Alex Farnham.
Now airing on CBS and Paramount +
I recently guest starred on The Equalizer (Season 2 episode 14) as Paulie Schinzel, an old friend of Harry Keshegian's (Adam Goldberg). Everyone was amazing and it just so happens that, yes, Adam Goldberg is a sweatheart and as funny in real life as you'd hope him to be. We could have riffed jokes back and forth forever. I could've at least. He woulda probably bailed on that.

Now airing on CBS and Paramount +

The Truth Is Always Changing...
I play Tate in Season one of the Amazon series Sneaky Pete. Created and Executive Produced by Bryan Crantson, the show debuted on January 13th with the second-largest premiere day streaming audience of any Amazon original program to date. It scored a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and was renewed by the studio for a second season a mere six days after it's release. The all-star cast is led by Giovanni Ribisi, Margo Martindale, and Bryan Cranston himself. It's currently available for streaming on Amazon.
GIRLS
The Final Season
I co-starred in the finale of HBO's award winning series GIRLS. I had one hilarious scene with Lena. She wrote it. But it didn't make it into the episode. So you'll just have to take my word for it! I'll tell ya about it next time I see you. It's a good day when Lena Dunham looks you in the eye after working with you and tells you you're hilarious. It makes ya feel like you did your job.
"Some things are unforgivable."
I booked and shot an amaaaazing episode of The Blacklist playing a younger version of one of the series most famous Russian KGB agents Alexander Kirk. The scenes didn't end up making the final cut but there's more Blacklist on the horizon...
"Some things are unforgivable."
Written and directed by K.M. Murphy, I'm proud to say I'm in this film that's currently on the festival circuit. Imagine the most stressful theatrical production you've ever been involved in. Then caffeinate it.
