About Me

One Minute Reel
Hi! I'm an actor and a salesman. Which is which and who is who does make life interesting sometimes. A more professional, dedicated "actor" website (www.rdouglaspurcell.com) is up--but still a work in process. Anyway, welcome to it! You are listening to a voice over demo, which is mostly me along with L.A. Angels manager, Mike Scioscia (as himself), Roger Craig Smith and Catie Purcell. My demo speed reel is here (above), a clip from a film called THE SILENT, an older, longer demo reel and a recent internet commercial for CBS Sportsline.com. On stage, I am currently playing "Major Roberts" in Black Angels Over Tuskegee in N. Hollywood (March 28 - May 2, 2009), and recently played "Murray" the small-time talent agent in the New Voices Playwrights Theatre production of Christmas in Pakistan. I play the down-and-out, ex-boxer, tough guy character "Joe" in the feature film, FAITH HAPPENS (www.faithhappens.com), which should be released soon. The short film CASSANDRA, based on a classic Greek play ("The Trojan Women" by Euripides) was featured at the '08 San Diego Latino Film Festival among others. I play the "Agamemnon" character (a King), a not so nice General in this award-winning contemporary adaptation. Thanks for visiting my space! -Doug

Stupid Stuff That Bugs Me...(but really shouldn't)

It's a beautiful Saturday morning in Seal Beach. I go down by the pier to the local coffee shop with my laptop for a cup of coffee, and to check e-mail. I nod 'mornin' to one or two of the locals, sit...

Congratulations, Mr. Obama!

I voted for John McCain yesterday. As a Republican and a Veteran, I voted for McCain because I believed him to be the best man for the job. However, it wasn't that easy to push the McCain button in th...

Okay, so I turned 50 on June 22, 2008. I dreaded it--and would've avoided it altogether if that had been an option. My new AARP card showed up right on schedule, the collection of 'Big ...

Litterbugs! - A random 4th of July story...

July 4th 2008. The fireworks show was over, so along with the masses gathered on the Seal Beach pier, all there to "ooh" and "ahh" at the annual spectacle in the sky, I started to walk home. I ha...
