Seven Times Lucky and other news from the road

Well, it’s been a while but I’m happy to report I’m still alive and well. Thriving, in fact. Although “The Whole Ten Yards” opened to dismal business and even worst reviews, I’m standing by my team spirit and pride by insisting that the movie is funny, Matthew Perry is hilarious, Bruce gives a wild performance and Amanda Peet once again somehow pulls off being sexy and dorky. As for my character, it’s the funniest lead role I’ve ever done. So, who’s word are you going to take?

I’m also happy to report that I just completed filming another movie with Bruce Willis. It’s a suspense drama called “Hostage” and was adapted from a best selling novel of the same name by Robert Crais. It’s a page-turner folks and I highly recommend it. Bruce had given it to me to read while we were shooting “The Whole Ten Yards” and I loved it. Miramax is putting the film out in the fall or Thanksgiving. So look for that.

In the meantime, a little movie I starred in called “Seven Times Lucky” is making the festival rounds. We debuted at Sundance and just won best screenplay and film at the Method Film Festival in Los Angeles ( I was nominated for best actor, if you really must know). We’ve also been invited to show at the Toronto Film Festival in September. Hopefully, someone will pick up this little gem (a ridiculously sweet review is available here at the site) and you all will get a chance to see it.

News from the road: I’m also touring this year with my stand-up act. The new dates are listing here as well. This July, I’ll be recording a live CD and DVD at Cobbs Comedy Club in San Francisco! Yep, the wait is over for those who’ve signed up for a copy.

Until next time, remember, when life gives you lemons…. open up a lemonade stand and make a killing!
