As faithful, unpaid readers well know, in the past few months I’ve participated in several shows at the marvelous UCB comedy theatre in Hollywood. In my most recent show there, SketchCram, one of the skits went well enough that UCB decided to shoot it as one of their short films. (Several shorts a month are posted on ucbcomedy.com/videos).
This is my first on a favorite piece from The Onion. I will try — but cannot and will not promise — to avoid letting this blog becoming nothing but posts linking to Onion goodness.
This one’s a short video. Headline: “Girl Raised from Birth by Wolf Blitzer Taken into Protective Custody.” And the child’s performance is fantastic.
Two more of my episodes on ‘I <3 Vampires’ are now online. For the less devout among you, I play William, the leader of the vampire clan. (I know, I know.)
The show was a blast to work on, and for my involvement I owe thanks to the lovely and talented Julie Restivo. Merci, Julie.
The ep’s (‘William’s Lair’ and ‘Together Forever’) are here.
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is held annually on June 15. As part of the events surrounding this call-to-action, the National Center on Elder Abuse is once again running my PSA on the issue in movie theatres around the country. (A short article on that is here.) The PSA on YouTube is here, and my post last year on the PSA is here.
A couple articles on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day are here and here.
(Apparently, I have to get this out of my system today, so: herehearhierheerhareherehearheearheeeeerrrrreee. Whew.)
And some FAQs on Elder Abuse are here. Here’s perhaps the most important one, a general definition of elder abuse. If you see elder abuse, or evidence of it, please report it to the authorities immediately.
