San Francisco, California. For the past week, I have been living in San Francisco's Noe Valley. City life is treating me well, coming home each day via the BART and walking through the Mission. This, as ever, is America's most beautiful big town. But life is on the move...

Leaving Alameda
Alameda, California. This week is all about moving out of my apartment - ugh, what a hassle! I was also asked by Discovery Channel to prepare a video submission for a potential host role. This is the video:

Change is in the Air
Alameda, California. Things are tough right now. I am moving out of my apartment at the end of this week and not quite sure where I am going. Options are to stay here in the San Francisco Area or move to Los Angeles.
On the humorous side, I have once again reached a new high on my IMDb Starmeter - 84,805!

The Four Twenty-One
San Francisco, California. Tuesday and Thursday of this week were spent on the set of Tom Galt's The Four Twenty-One, an Indy Science Fiction Flick. My character's name is Tek and basically, I am an alien thug. These aliens appear like normal people except to very special humans with the genetic trait to see a broader spectrum of colors. To those people, we aliens appear yellow. So, for theatrical purposes, this meant two days of work in a good coating of yellow body paint!! Check out the video...

Shooting Rains
Sugarloaf, California. Most of this weekend was spent in a cute cabin in the Big Bear area - the location for the Rains of Astoria shoot. The shoot went well, the 
cast and crew were excellent and it was a beautiful setting for it all to go down. Here are a couple pics of the cast and crew.
Also, new IMDb "StarMeter" record this week!: 87,632.

The Backroads to Big Bear
Sugarloaf, California. On Thursday night, I left the shoot location of Crucifixions up in Calistoga and headed straight for Big Bear, for the Rains of Astoria shoot.
Having left so late, I had to break up the 8 hour drive with a hotel stay in Lost City. The next morning, I woke up and finished my drive, going to back way (around Los Angeles) up to Big Bear. After driving through the area with the largest wind energy operation in the world (see pic), the drive took me straight into the heart of the Mojave Desert. This was a very pleasant surprise!
I don't know exactly what it is, but the desert draws me in, captivates me. I had not been there since my father and I drove cross country on my way out to California last year. This is too long to be separated from such an amazing place. The desert can be harsh, desolate and seemingly uninhabitable yet at the same time can fill your heart with wonder, provide a sense of connectness and inspire a yearning for the unknown. At one point on my drive, the road curved up and over, unfolding the planet before me in a manner that I have only seen in landscapes
of the American West. Breathtaking does not adequetely describe such sights. These open spaces cause my spirit to soar and feel truly free.
From the desert, I climbed up the backside of the mountains to Big Bear, trading desert-scapes for evergreen covered peaks of 9000 ft+ and finally ending my journey in a picturesque cabin in the woods of Sugarloaf. It was an amazing end to the journey.

Crucified
Calistoga, California. The Castello di Amorosa winery, outside of Calistoga, features an actual sized replica of a medieval castle. This replica served as the set for an upcoming History Channel documentary on crucifixion being produced by Jon Taylor of Indigo Films. I spent nearly 12 hours on the set, playing the part of a Roman Centurion. The 2 hour feature will be aired at Easter - but here is a sneak peak...
