Holiday Wrap-Up: Robots, Sports and a Slimeball

Holiday Wrap-Up: Robots, Sports and a Slimeball

Posted by: D.C. Douglas on December 18, 2011 in Acting, Voice Over

Usually December marks the death of foliage, diverse TV commercials and my career.  But this year, thanks to my new voice over and theatrical agents, December is a reversal of fortune for me!  So, staying true to my prostitutorial™ self, I will recap the month:

SLIME BALL

In the television category, we have the first in a series of small cameos I will be doing in an effort to rebuild my resume from a long list of cancelled shows to one with some sex appeal.  I was on Raising Hope earlier this month.  You may have missed me… Even if you saw the show.  It’s a quick cameo (quick as in the time it takes to peg Marcus Bachmann’s sexuality):

And set your DVR for Castle in January, as I’ll show up at the end of the “Dial M For Mayor” episode for another cameo.  And in February, as Blake’s Dad on Bucket & Skinner’s Epic Adventures. Then, in March, you’ll catch a glimpse of me on Franklin & Bash.  I’m also on “avail” for NCIS Los Angeles!  Keep fingers crossed, people!

SPORTS

Those who know me know that I am a huge sports fan.  Not only that, I play those sportsy-like games every weekend, belong to a fantasy foosball club and can name every cast member of the Los Angeles Broncos (I’m a big Basketball nut!).  So, it makes sense that you’d hear me on these current NFL promos:

And also as the weatherman contrasting how macho us sports geeks are:

But the biggest thing this month was:

ROBOTS

Did you see the Sneak Peek of Transformers: Rescue Bots on Saturday?!  If not, you’re dead to me.  ;-) No worries.  The Hub usually repeats the shows another 237 times.  The full season debuts February 18th, 2012!  But, to get you acquainted with my Transformer character (I play “Chase”), I put together a quick sample:

Now, yes, I want you to watch the show, but the real way to help it become a success is to buy the toys!  (The Hub is the only network driven by toy sales.)

How about that?  A perfect opportunity to complete your xmas shopping list.

Happy Holiday!  (Yes, I am a foot soldier in the war on Christmas.)

POST SCRIPT

I forgot to share my 1 line from Family Guy!  Recorded it in 2009 for an episode it was cut from, but then magically appeared last week in a new episode:

There!  Now that’s everything for December!  … I feel much better.

    I tried using a Tim Tebow analogy to explain to Betty that sometimes you have to throw out the formula to do certain things like when John Fox had to employ a college-style offense for Tebow because he could not run a pro-style offense. She wasn't kidding when she told me she didn't know anything about sports! But, she understood the point of the analogy. Sometimes you have to try a different approach from the norm to achieve a goal. She started laughing when I tried explaining the option offense to her. She has a very funny laugh.
