I'm loving what is out of my control

About Me



What can I say? I'm pretty much the guy you meet. I personally don't think I offer too many surprises and kind of play life with my cards face up on the table... well maybe I've got a few tricks up my sleeve, but few will have to deal with those cards and the one's who do will understand. I'm born Texan but Texas can be a bit close-minded. Acting in Los Angeles has made me a bit too open-minded. Business keeps me too sheltered in my thoughts. Which is why I'm a Texas loving actor who loves starting new businesses. Give me a pool table, six pack of Shiner Bock/Gordon Biersch Blue Moon/Petite Sirah/or Whiskey tonics, a good live band, a fun atmosphere, and you'll find me in my happy place. So all in all right now life has been pretty damn good to me and I can't really say I've got many hopes or dreams that aren't happening. Coming soon www.siresrule.com

My Interests

right now acting, eyeglasses, and commercial producition. When I'm 60: the harmonica, owning a bar/restaraunt where every Thursday night patrons have to listen to my poetry and harmonica or they'll have to leave.

I'd like to meet:

I know them when I meet them

Music:

the lyrics of: Sage Francis, Aesop Rock, Jedi Mind Tricks, or Zack De la Rocha inspire me to communicate my thoughts that richly and to live a life with that much to say. Otherwise I'm good with someone litterally strumming on a guitar or blowing in a harmonica.

Movies:

Sergio Leone's films, Quentin Tarantino, gus van sant's recent films (elephant and last days), Children of Eden may have been the best movie I've ever seen, He Loves Me He Loves Me Not was a great story, I think any movie this guy Neil Bloomkamp makes is going to be spectacular, and I have to believe there is a god for filmmakers like Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson, the Coen Brothers, Peter Jackson, and Chan-wook Park (South Korean director of the three movies about vengeance), and I'm very excited to see what movies Craig Brewer is going to make. I also feel obligated to throw my love and admiration to Akira Kurosawa just because I recongize what a superb job he did with film making in a country during a time where film was not an important matter. And damn oh damn how bad ass is George Clooney? He is making Hollywood look good cheers to Clooney. Who else who else... i love great films so there are lots more.

Television:

Battlestar Gallactica, Arrested Development, The Red River Shootout, and the Big 12 Championship. THIS IS THE GREATEST TV MOMENT IN HISTORY ENJOY

Books:

Right now I'm making my way through - The Guests of the Ayatollah, front to cover of Backstage, Hollywood Reporter, AdBusters (Phenomenal Magazine), and Paste Magaizine, To the Actor by Michael Checkhov, and The Archetypes and the COllective Unconscious by CG Jung translated by R.F.C. Hull.

Heroes:

actors and American Theater... their history is poetic for me. I do hope to be a part of it.
