I play one of the voices (the male one!) of a box of wilted flowers in a new floral service commercial:
I play a role as a stuffy corporate board member in the recently-released spoof movie "Superhero!" (directed by Craig Mazin of Scary Movie 3 and 4).
It's a great 4-character scene with Christopher McDonald (Shooter McGavin from Happy Gilmore),
Brent Spiner (Data from Star Trek), and Dan Castellanetta (the voice of Homer Simpson).

In the sitcom 'Til Death, I played a kindly minister opposite series regular Brad Garrett:
In the 4th episode of The Sarah Silverman Program, I had a scene with Sarah Silverman in which I played the fussy judge of the Little Miss Rainbow contest, a beauty pageant for prepubescent girls:
I appeared on Boston Legal in the episode "Fat Burner," playing a medical expert witness, "Dr. Farrell," opposite series regular Rene Auberjonois:
I did a scene as a '50's TV shrink in the upcoming noir feature, Yesterday Was A Lie, directed by James Kerwin. The following clip is raw footage: in the final cut of the film, there will be audience sound effects (applause) and the audio will be "aged" to sound like a '50's TV broadcast:
On a huge sound stage at Universal Studios, we wrapped the upcoming feature, Evan Almighty, starring Steve Carell and John Goodman. I play a U.S. Congressman in one of the film's final scenes, which involved hundreds of extras, live elephants, and alpaca spit!
In the final two-hour final episode of ABC's Desperate Housewives last season, I played a jewelry clerk in a (very short) scene with Richard Burgi (Karl) and Jamie Denton (Mike).
In the Jerry Bruckheimer/CBS crime drama Close to Home last season, I played Judge Myers in the episode, The Shot. Here are several short clips:
THE CALL
back to top of page
"The Call," a short film in which I play the lead character (written, directed, shot, and edited by Thomas Richter), was the Winner of the John Sayles Award for Best Narrative Short at the Westcliffe Digital Film Festival in Westcliffe, Colorado. It also appeared in the New York International Independent Film Festival in LA and in the Santa Fe Film Festival, in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
"The Call" is the story of solitary telemarketer Ike Lundquist, whose humdrum existence is dramatically altered when, under the terms of a new Constitutional Amendment, he is required to perform a devastating"citizen's duty."
Here are some scenes from the film:
WE WERE SOLDIERS

The following is my scene opposite Mel Gibson in the DVD of "We Were Soldiers." (It is in the "Deleted Scenes" section: "Moore debriefed by McNamara and Westmoreland." ) The first voice in the clip is that of Academy Award-winning director Randall Wallace, who comments,"This is another scene that was terrific...I thought the acting job was tremendous, Brian Carpenter playing Robert McNamara..."
ABLE EDWARDS
A sci-fi, all-digital, all-greenscreen "desktop cinema" movie, Able Edwards has also won several film festival awards. It was directed by Graham Robertson and exec produced by Steven Soderbergh. In the following scene, I appear as the chairman of the board of a corporation which clones its founder:
IN SEARCH OF JFK
I played a TV newscaster in a mockumentary, directed by Chuck Workman, about what might have happened had JFK escaped assassination. Here are two clips, one set in the 1960s, the other in the 1970s:
