My fellow Americans,
Our rallying cries against health care have finally been heard! But let’s not go half-way! Let us follow through on our commitment to keep Uncle Sam off our lawns and porches!
We who DON’T want health care make the following 10 pledges:

Buddy Giovinazzo’s Life is Hot in Cracktown is coming out on DVD. It stars Kerry Washington, Evan Ross, Victor Rasuk, Illeana Douglas and myself. Illeana and I play a crack-addled couple barely hanging on as her two children witness the horrors our of addiction. You can see a behind-the scenes clip on YouTube to get a sense of the film.
Fair warning: it’s a tough, gritty piece of cinema, and not always the easiest thing to watch, but there are some damned fine performances in there. You can order a copy at Amazon.com now.
Well, after a great shoot in Milwaukee on No God, No Master with the wonderful David Strathairn, it’s back to New York for heat waves, frigid subways and a lot of sirens. I think the thick air must create some kind of echo chamber because the city is as loud as I ever remember it.
Still, it’s good to be back, even though I didn’t want the shoot to end. The cast and crew were brilliant, and I really enjoyed my time as Carlo Tresca.
All things must pass, so… onward to the next project, whatever that may be. These are the days in which actors either go a bit stir crazy, wondering why they aren’t offered the next job immediately, or take the time to “mend nets,” as a friend put it. I think I’ll mend nets.
