Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 11:38AM I'm happy to report that I booked my first audition of 2012 - a role on Southland. There will be some tears and a gunshot, and that's all I'm saying.
It's a great show, and this episode will be directed by Allison Anders, whose work I've admired for years - so I'm extra excited.
More info to come!
Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at 2:58PM Happy 2012 everyone!
It sounds like a lot of people were happy to see 2011 go - but don't we always feel that way?
For yours truly, 2011 was a big year. I got married, worked with Timothy Olyphant, performed for sold-out houses at the Kirk Douglas Theatre, and spent 2 weeks in South Africa. So you won't hear me complaining. Just a hearty, "MORE PLEASE!" for 2012.
Speaking of my Justified co-star, Season 2 comes out today on DVD and BluRay. If you don't watch it for me, watch it for Margo Martindale's Emmy-winning and totally incredible season-long performance. Some of the best acting tv has seen in a long time, I say.
I hope you and yours had a fantastic holiday season, and that you're as happy as I am to take the lights down and get back to business!

Luscious Demeter dotes on her daughter, the untried but true Persephone. Demeter instructs her precious flower in the family business - Fertility, Fecundity and Fruitfulness - while keeping her favorite creation close and safe. Persephone, however, is desperate to leave the nest. To demonstrate her budding independence, Persephone runs away and takes up with her mother's nemesis, the Lord of the Underworld. Naturally, Demeter tries to get her baby back from the dark side, but finds no help. As Persephone gestates in the belly of the Underworld, Demeter’s self-imposed death march threatens the survival of humankind and sparks a war amongst the Immortals. (This is a super sexy neo-feminist update of the ancient Greek myth – no classical education required.)

Scrubs - 10/7 @ 9pm on TVLand
I run a kennel... But not for animals. It's an idea they'd been holding on to for several seasons, and I got the offer without an audition. Love those!
Gilmore Girls - 10/9 @ 11am on ABC Family
One of the few shows that would being back actors to play different characters. This was my first appearance - I showed up again two seasons later as Ann the Gilmore's Accountant, opposite it-girl Melissa McCarthy.
Happy watching!
Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 11:21AM Thanks to everyone who came to see The Behavior of Broadus at The Kirk Douglas Theatre!
Saturday's reading sold out so quickly, a Sunday performance was added - and that nearly sold out as well. The Kirk Douglas has never sold out a reading before, and the feedback has been glowing, so we're feeling pretty proud and excited about the future of the show.
Since I was on stage Sunday evening, I avoided all news coverage until yesterday afternoon, when I finally got to curl up and watch the Emmys. I have to say, I have never been more thrilled with the winners! Melissa McCarthy, Barry Pepper, AND Margo Martindale? SO glad to see character actors getting their due!
As far as I'm concerned, it all bodes well for a great fall season. Onwards and upwards!
