Although I can’t share too much at the moment, I’m happy to say that my next feature film, Memories, will begin shooting soon!
This will be my second opportunity to work with director Ivi Navarrete, a great director who allows actors a lot of freedom to bring themselves into a character. With a script that I really loved as well, I’m really excited about the direction of this project.
Last but not least, I’ll be shooting scenes for the movie in Los Angeles, Palm Springs, and London.
Stay tuned for updates about the project!

Well, the academy already shared it’s picks for the best projects and performances last year, but I want to take a moment to weigh in with a couple actors and performances that I really enjoyed over the last year.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s an actor that I’ve admired for a while, and his performance in The Revenant was no exception. It was great to see his talent come through in a movie that shows highlights and depends on the lead role to such an extreme degree. A lot of the scenes are just one man and a camera, and I think he pulled off it off really well. The story and direction were incredible, but without a great actor in that lead role the movie would have lost a lot of its impact. Furthermore, like a lot of people around the world, I’m just happy to see DiCaprio’s talent recognized after so many projects, finally receiving an Academy Award.
Alicia Vikander was another incredible performance. I’ve been following her closely since she appeared in A Royal Affair and I think her talent really blossomed with her performance in Ex-Machina. With The Danish Girl, her acting really hit a high, projecting a presence that’s both sublime and enchanting. As I walked out of the movie theater, I was confident that that was a performance not only of nomination, but of winning the Academy Award.
Lastly, Cate Blanchett is another actor who I’ve admired for many years- a beautiful woman and a truly amazing actress. As an actor, I feel there’s something to be learned from every second she’s on screen. Every time I watch her she’s able to take one on a real journey of feeling and sensations. There are a lot of great actors out there but it’s rare that someone can have that degree of effect on the viewer. Carol was yet another great example of that quality in an amazing career.
Overall, it was a great year for acting. I can’t wait to see some of the upcoming films this year!

Love in Moreno Valley has been a project that’s close to my heart and shooting it has been one of the highlights of the last year for me.
The greatest thing about working on a project with such great people is that it ends up feeling very much like a large family, with everyone brought together by their commitment to making something we believe in.
First of all, I was really happy to have the chance to work for the third time with Steven Huffaker. He’s truly a brilliant and upcoming director with some inspiring ideas.
Then, I had the privilege of working with an amazing cast. Everyone was great to work with, and there were a lot of opportunities to have some fun… In particular, I really enjoyed my on-set moments with Jack MacDonald and Jaire Bowen, whose characters drive my character, Mr. Durante, crazy in the movie. Brendan Small was fun to work with in one hilarious scene in particular – I think the fact that we enjoyed it so much will show through when the movie’s released.
Unfortunately I didn’t have any scenes with John Ennis, who has a great presence that’s a mix of both serious and funny. I was happy when I did get a chance to do a project with him shortly after shooting Love in Moreno Valley.
You know it’s a great cast when you start missing everyone before you’ve even wrapped. Both on a personal and a professional level, I just want to say thanks to the great cast and crew of Love in Moreno Valley!
Love In Moreno Valley is coming out soon!
