I'm one of the voices during the lottery drawing.This is a very shakey video of a piece I voiced for the Terror Tram in Universal Studios Hollywood's special Halloween attraction in 2006. We did it again in 2007! And we did it for the third year in a row! My voice will once again be haunting Universal Studios Hollywood theme park Halloween 2008. My part doesn't actually begin until about 3:30 into it. The shakey video and irritating USH employee are a bit annoying, but try to last until my part comes up at about 3:30 into the video.Here's a spot for a bank in Texas called, Bank of the West.Bank of the West Spot 1

Music:
I really love music. It would be easy to say that I'm a Classic Rock kinda guy. I mean, I am, but I like so much more than that. The list is quite varied and much too involved. It'll range from Zeppelin and Blue Oyster Cult (I'm gonna need more cowbell) to Sinatra, Dean Martin and Louis Prima. From Classical to Bluegrass or Country to Golden Oldies. I'm all over the map. Rap and hip hop are probably farthest away on that map. It's just not my thing. But there are some brilliant musicians and singers in every musical genre. One man's music is another man's bleeding eardrum. A perfect symphony to one can be nails on a chalkboard to someone else.
Movies:
There are truly too many to choose or to list, so here's a sample of all different kinds of movies that I love: Godfather I & II, Caddy Shack, Gladiator, Ace Ventura, Snatch, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrells, Saving Private Ryan, When Trumpets Fade, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Achorman, LOTR, the first three Star Wars... There's so many that I'm leaving off that I hate to put any, if I can't remember them all...but it's too late.
Television:
A little easier to come up with a television list, but I know I'm going to miss some classic shows that just aren't on anymore, but here goes: The Simpsons, Family Guy, Deadwood, The Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Entourage, ESPN's coverage of the WSOP, The Travel Channel's WPT & PPT, HBO's One Night Stand, Comedy Central's comedy showcase...
Books:
I used to be a voracious reader, but in recent years, I've found myself too busy or just don't take the time to read...which is really a pathetic excuse because I really enjoy reading. Michael Crichton's Timeline was probably my last novel (the movie was weak). Years ago I was a great Stephen King fan, but I've grown disappointed with his work.
Heroes:
My Mom and Dad certainly are my heroes. They sacrificed a lot for me and my brother when we were growing up. They worked their tails off and did a bang-up job raising two sons in a strict but fun and funny home filled with Christian love. I'm very lucky and gratefull to have my parents and my upbringing. They helped make me the person I am today. So blame them...HA!
