I'd like to meet:
MY HONG KONG CITY GUIDE!THIS VIDEO WAS CREATED BY JOSH AND I FOR WXRT RADIO IN CHICAGO.
Music:
...is everything. My music is very important to me, and I will argue about my likes and dislikes till I pass out. It's just something that surrounds me, fills me up, and carries me away. And it grows and changes all the time. Fantastic! So now my list looks like this: The Beatles (First and Foremost for the rest of my life), Wilco (Hometown Heroes, and the best live shows), Radiohead (better and better every album), Elvis Costello (Genius beyond imagination), Bjork (if Costello and Bjork got together...!) Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell, Rufus Wainwright, Lou Reed & The Velvet Underground, Van Morrison, Missy Elliott, Royksopp, Deee-Lite, Axwell, Tocodisco, TVRock, Ellen Allien, Kid Kenobi, Basement Jaxx, The Cure, Death Cab for Cutie, Broken Social Scene, Andrew Bird, Gemma Hayes, Gomez, Kings of Leon, The Arcade Fire, The Decemberists, The Frames, Doves, Air, Fiona Apple, Keane, Grateful Dead, Gorillaz, Pulp, Paul Simon, Nouvelle Vague, Aretha, Ella, Dinah, Nina, Edith Piaf, Madeleine Peyroux, Metric, The Flaming Lips, The Clash, Bowie, Petty. Alright, somebody stop me...THE OFFICE

Movies:
Something else I could discuss for hours. Being an actor for the past ten years has kept me very critical, and when it comes to films and plays, it's hard to completely win me over. Unless it's "Yellow Submarine." Fantatstic soundtrack, incredibly imaginative animation, and hilarious if you can figure out what they're saying. "The Jerk" (Nobody's funnier than Steve Martin), though Christopher Guest & Company come close with "Waiting for Guffman," "Best In Show," and "A Mighty Wind." Okay, done with quotation marks, here goes: True Romance, Six Degrees of Separation, Punch Drunk Love, Amelie, Almost Famous, Volver, Talk to Her, North by Northwest, Rear Window, Psycho, The Godfather, Apocolypse Now, Singin' in the Rain, About a Boy, High Fidelity, Donnie Darko, The Royal Tenenbaums, Garden State, L.A. Story, 40 Year-Old Virgin, Shaun of the Dead, Love Actually, The Triplets of Belleville, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Magnolia, Big Lebowski, Rushmore, Breaking the Waves, Hilary and Jackie, Flirting With Disaster, National Lampoon's Vacation, Soapdish, Rocky Horror, Cabaret, All That Jazz, The Goonies, A Christmas Story, Follow That Bird, and Big Bird in China.
Television:
I realize it is now "old-fashioned" not to have a TiVO (at least I know to use a lower case i), but my VCR is currently set for "Dexter," "Lost," "Entourage," "The Family Guy," and "The Office." Though the BBC version will ALWAYS win out, this one's got its own life now. "American Idol" makes my week complete...can't get enough. "Six Feet Under" R.I.P. -- best writing/acting on television. "Deal or No Deal" is the best thing on British TV right now...addictive. Check out "Little Britain" and "The Catherine Tate Show" for some classic characters. "Prison Break" is quite cool, especially spotting fellow Chicago actors! Things worth picking up a box set: Twin Peaks (legendary TV), Alias, X-Files, Strangers with Candy, Home Movies, Spongebob, Mr. Bean. I am hopelessly addicted to travel and cooking programs, most notably GlobeTrekker, Three Sheets, Bizarre Foods, Thirsty Traveler, Rick Steves, Anthony Bourdain, Louis Thoureux, Jamie Oliver, and a classic Iron Chef.LITTLE BRITAINSTRANGERS WITH CANDYCATHERINE TATE SHOW

Books:
A friend once handed me a copy of John Irving's "A Prayer for Owen Meany," saying "It's the best book you'll ever read." Of course, he was right, and I have since passed it on to many friends with the same tag line. After "Owen," I quickly added "The Cider House Rules," "A Widow for One Year," and "World According to Garp" and the latest, "Until I Find You." I'm a sucker for Harry Potter as well (book 6 has it all, and 4 is a gem.) I turn to Salinger's "Franny and Zooey" for inspiration when I forget about 'the fat lady.' Other faves: The Alchemist, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Watership Down, They Cage the Animals at Night, High Fidelity, About A Boy, The Great Gatsby, White Teeth, On The Road. I've read thousands of plays as well, and some all-time favorites include Six Degrees of Separation, Angels in America, Blue/Orange, Cyrano de Bergerac, Much Ado About Nothing, Hamlet, Midsummer, Titus Andronicus, Cabaret, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, This Happy Breed, Sideman, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Frankie and Johnny in the Claire de Lune, The Shape of Things.
