Yeah, yeah, you clicked for the zombies, didn’t you? How Pathetic. It’s May 1st! May Day! A celebration of life? Fine, so the Christians gutted that lovely pagan holiday — I’ll give you your damn zombies… (The neo-pagan’s revenge for “conversion?”)
But first, some odds and ends, people:
2 Broke Girls
In case you missed it, here’s my cameo on CBS’s 2 Broke Girls:
Did you catch the voice reference? From the minute the writers added that I have been plotting my new voiceover sizzle reel.
Voiceover Sizzle
Muhahahah! The plot thickens… Or soup’s ready? Well, after 2 years, it felt the time was right to redo my sizzle reel… Especially since Kat Dennings gives me an on-camera review! Yup, I be pimpin’ my vocal box:

Thank you, Michael Patrick king!
My Mother
Believe it or not, I do have a reason for mentioning my mother above and beyond perfecting a blog post title.
My mother is an artist, a writer, and an intuit. She overcame a complicated start in life and raised two children (also artists) mostly on her own. She has been my best friend since I was 16. She gave me her humor and some of her insight. She passed down a great cackle of a laugh from her mother to me. She also gave me creative OCD, but the results outweigh the missed meals.
My mother is the main reason I am an actor today. Aside from genetics, she sat me down when I was 11 and asked me what I wanted to be. Then she told me to start working towards it. And here I am, on May 1st, having the best year I’ve ever had as an actor…
And writing a public Happy Birthday to her.
She is a May Day Mother so I am reclaiming the holiday from the Christians and crowning her the May Queen. Queen Betty.
If you’d like to help my mom celebrate today, I have two options for you:
1) Got to iTunes (www.TheCrookedEye.com) and watch “The Crooked Eye,” a film short I produced based on a short story she wrote in the 90’s.
2) If you’re into energy healing and metaphysics, visit The Lotus Path and see if her services are for you.
Happy birthday, Mom! I love you!
Now it’s freakin’ “zombie” time!
Or to be specific, “The Walking Dead” time. I’ve said it before – game fans are the best! This last weekend I had a quick back and forth on twitter with Nathan Narain (@_N_a_t_h_a_n__) about the show and he asked if I wanted to be on it. Before I knew it, he had started a petition to get me a guest role on the show! Albert Wesker’s voice actor on The Walking Dead?!
Okay, that’s nice and all, but it’s such a long shot! Like Albert Wesker surviving two missiles to the face. And I figured Nathan would forget it the minute he put it up and start into a bag of cheez-its…
But he didn’t. 100 signatures in the first 24 hours! The second day – another 145! I had my pr group send out a casual press release about it and now the “Resident Evil” websites are passing around the petition…
It may not get me a role on the show, but the fact Nathan did it and that people are responding just tickles me squared! … And if it does work, Nathan get’s a 10% commission, baby!
Wanna sign it? D.C. Douglas on “The Walking Dead!”
Oh, and a quick reminder: Next Tuesday I’ll be in a few scenes on NCIS: Los Angeles! Tune in!
