Some voice work for Mercedes Benz…

The producers of “No God No Master” sent me this rendering of me as Carlo Tresca.  I don’t know who made it, but it is lovely to have.  Oh, to be a work of art.  It looks like something that should be hanging in a museum.

Over the years, a few people have sent me drawings of myself, usually based on existing photos, and I always get a kick out of them.

Thank you!

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.
