#worldvoiceday It’s always my pleasure to lend my voice to the phenomenal team at @codesparkapp who work so hard to introduce coding to kids all over the world . I’m happy I can bring Sarge to life and be a part of the FooVille community. CodeSpark is a fantastic company my wife has worked for for many years and I can’t wait to see how they continue to grow and be an educational beacon to future generations. #behindthescenes #vo #codespark #coding #voices #voiceover #animation #dowhatyoulove #lovewhatyoudo #shure #educational #shuremicrophones #foovillelegends

#tbt #throwbackthursday to way back in my NY days when I was lucky to be cast in this fun NYU short film about two hitmen in an elevator and old lady...what could possibly go wrong? directed by @ryanhamelin Also a happy belated birthday to @elove67 who cast me in this dark little comedy and is now calling the shots as casting director on huge network projects! #shortfilm #comedy #stunts #nyu #film #actor #ny #la #elevator #throwback

Happy St Patrick’s Day! May there always be work for your two hands to do, may your purse always hold a shiny coin, or two. A sun on your window pane, and a rainbow to follow every rain. #stpatricksday #green #crockofgold #crockofcoffee #selfie #luckoftheirish #stpattysday #irish #irishblessing #staysafe #drinkresponsibly

Decided to give it a go! Had to get over a crazy insecurity about this one but sometimes learning to swim well means jumping into the pool. Thanks for a fun challenge @noble_son ! #vocommercialchallenge #vo #tiktok #vochallenge #thatssoddo #ddovo #actor #fun #werk #workout #QMEXA #Nike #PlanetFitness #Kay

Easter Sunday hike in Joshua Tree: a return to the challenging Ryan Mountain. Last weekend my buddy Anthony and I attempted this trek and only got 3/4 of the way up before having to call it quits so we decided to come back and finish it. Little did we know that where we stopped the first time was actually the hardest part of the journey. Typically when I start a hike I silently ask: Ok, trail, what life lesson are you trying to teach me? I think my takeaway this time is: D...on’t quit when it gets tough, because you’re likely moments away from easier paths, serene perspectives, and boundless opportunities. Side note: this photo was not taken at the summit (which was equally if not more stunning) but I think itq’s a good reminder that there is always more to the journey. Also stop now and then and see the Big Horn sheep. Cause they’re just cool. #joshuatree #wisdom #trail #dontquit #summit #powerpose #easter #eastersunday : @anthonyboyerddo See more

Friends. We are so close to the finish line. I can feel it in my bones. Just hang in there a little while longer. Keep social distancing, wear that mask, and get the vaccine if/when you can. A little while longer and we can all hug and party like it’s 2021! #stillapandemic #almostthere #wegotthis #light #covid19 #grateful #wearamask #selfie #vaccinate

My thought for the day: I think too often we confuse that being happy and grateful for where we are means we don’t or can’t want more. I don’t feel that’s true. Too often we get stuck and we say I’m grateful, BUT..., or I’m happy, BUT... I’ve been working to turn that BUT into an AND: I’m happy and grateful where I am in this moment AND I want more. Changing the narrative you tell yourself is, I *think* a serene way to avoid complacency but still actively pursue what els...e you want in your life. Be sure to catch me tonight with other inspirational speakers on @clubhouse at 4pm PST/7pm EST hosted by the lovely @tasiavalenza of @givegreatvoice . We’ll be discussing affirmations and how we speak to ourselves. Would love to have you there. #behappyand #begratefuland #begrateful #yesand #gratitude #bepresent #abundance #life #love #la #actor #vo #voiceover #clubhouse #ggv #givegreatvoice See more

#Oneyearago I was working with this remarkably creative group on another workshop of our beloved ‘Bronco Billy the Musical’ when everything literally came to a halt. We said our goodbyes for - well we wouldn’t know how long. Now one year the later the light seems to be dimly peaking through the tunnel and I hope when it shines brightly we all burst through the other end. May all these smiling faces be illuminated and we can embrace once more. (And maybe we can pick up where we left off eh, Pards?) Where did you find yourself a year ago when everything shut down? #covid19 #hope #la #theatre #actor #love #family #anniversary #broncobillymusical
