I agreed to shoot a short scene with an acquaintance from acting school thinking I would receive a copy. I never signed a contract or any legally binding agreement. Do I have any recourse to get my work?

Each One Teach One.
Tonight I went to a SAG meeting about the Booz Allen Hamilton study of the commercial contracts. Since commercials have been my bread and butter for the past few years, I want to be sure I have all of the...

And Now The End Is Here
Before I write any thing else I want to thank you, the reader. Whether you’ve been with me on my path from March 3rd of 2007, or if you’ve just joined me today, thank you. It’s been a documented journey...

Awakening the Screenplay : Passion Project, v.2
Garbage truck sounds and a clay-pot full of now cold sake. Day two with Mom, and I've never had more fun with my parent-turned-buddy, since now we're adults and can drink together. A little ballroom dancing, a little Joe Allen...

Endgame, Backstage
Tonight I am dog tired. This week was such and UP-and-Down week. Well...folks...in the next few days (until the end of this month) I hope to leave you with lightness, hope, and verve. Tonight, however, I'm going to give you...

My Achy Ass
My ass hurts today. And it doesn’t hurt because I’ve been working out. I don’t have time these days to work out. Although I think I run around the city to auditions and rehearsals enough for that to count as...

'Grey's Anatomy' Drives One Fan to Drink
Alright I am trying to be loyal but if you have read any of my previous blogs, you may know that I am upset with Shonda Rhimes. I just don't think I can hang in there much longer. I was hoping this wave of very, very, bad story lines on Grey's, was just some sort of creative constipation, but no, no, it's actually full-on actualized crap.I made myself watch last night. I thought that I might give it one last shot to redeem itself. After all I spent many a night, (yes I am single), being entertained by McDreamy and...

Gaby Hoffman: M.I.A No Longer
It looks like Gaby Hoffman may be making a comeback. For all of you who don't who she is, you will most likely recognize her as the little girl in Sleepless in Seattle . She was also in Field of Dreams, Uncle Buck, Now and Then and Volcano just to mention a few. She worked in many more films and was right up there in the Christina Ricci stratosphere (in fact they were friends) and then she seemed to disappear. But now it looks like (not counting the who-saw-this-movie-anyway, Severed Ways: The Norse Discovery of America in 2007, she hadn't...

The Camera Doesn't Lie, Does it?
So you have gotten the latest facial and chemical peels and Restylane and fat cells; you've been injected and prodded, stretched and peeled and whatever else. You look good! Sure you were covered in pure gold for an hour last week, but it was necessary. It also cost you pure gold as well. But you figure, you know what, it is worth it, I am in a high profile profession, anything to look my best. And you do. You look fantastic. Guys in their twenties find you hotter than ever. Your friends ask you what you are doing for your...

Score for 'Harvard Beats Yale 29-29'
I just found out, via Rotten Tomatoes, about this crazy documentary film called Harvard Beats Yale 29-29. Director Kevin Rafferty, who served as a cameraman to first-time director Michael Moore on Roger and Me, brings wit and fresh perspective to American culture in 1968 by recounting the story of a wacky college football game.According to the Toronto Film Fest, he interviews players on both sides about the game and so much more, namely the unique socio-political climate of the time. Hot issues four decades ago were Vietnam, birth control, and student insurrection. Some former Ivy League students at that time...

The Great Ones: The Life of an Actor
I remember once, a few years ago, watching an autobiographical documentary on TV about Kate Hepburn. Among other great quips about the business, what stands out for me is when she spoke about having to appreciate a solitary life in order to be an actor. Her words have sort of always stayed with me. And, recently I read an article about Javier Bardem that got me to thinking about the journey of an actor.Bardem said, "I only know how to do one thing in my life and that is to get obsessed about acting. It is the only thing I...

'Twilight' delivers, 'Button,' 'Arrested' tease
Weren't you ever taught that it's not nice to tease people? And by you, we mean Paramount and Fox here. That much-anticipated press screening of Oscar hopeful "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" last night? Plug pulled about 25 minutes...

A peek under the 'Star Trek' hood
The scene was a packed showing of "Quantum of Solace" at the AMC 16 in Burbank, one of the heaviest trafficked venues in the nationwide multiplex chain. Pre-show ads and promos -- a bunch. Trailers -- quite a few, including...

Werewolf wonderland
Werewolves on the brain, that's for sure, ever since that darling good ole boy Sam Merlotte barked in his sleep and streaked through the woods of Bon Temps in the addictive "True Blood." Come to find out, our favorite barkeep...

A carol from Colbert
It's beginning to look a lot like ... Colbert! Only a few days left until Emmy-winning newly-minted-song-and-dance man Stephen Colbert launches his first holiday special (10 p.m. Sunday on Comedy Central). It's appropriately dubbed "A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift...

The burden of 'Benjamin Button'
So much is riding on "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" -- too much, actually -- and we're not even talking about the reported $150 million budget. (Are Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. sweating about this Christmas Day release?) The...
