Crazy Weezy Epilogue – Flex Dolla Dolla Bill

I made a final cameo as Weezy in this Random Acts video. Yes I’m ghostriding the whip. Sorry the video is LQ. I didn’t shoot this so I don’t have the HD video it was originally shot in.

Crazy Weezy Part 3 – E! True Hollywood Story

I wrote the first and second appearances of Crazy Weezy but this one I took a really hands off approach. The reason for that? I wasn’t in Random Acts at the time. I had moved on to new projects but I kept getting pulled back in for guest spots. I don’t have a lot to say about this. Un-fun fact: I dented my car by slamming myself against it in one scene. Yeop.

Crazy Weezy Part 2 – Study Guide

I thought I was done with Crazy Weezy but as the most successful character to come out of Random Acts eventually I would be pulled back in. It turns out that Crazy Weezy is just me plus 5 espresso shots. Those were real by the way. It takes quite a bit of caffeine to actually get me going that sure did it. Those reactions were only slightly exaggerated. The real problem? That wasn’t the only take. We did a practice one that I didn’t know was a practice so I did the a shot without the camera rolling and had to refill.

Crazy Weezy’s Used Cars

It’s Crazy Weezy Week here and that means starting here. This was the first sketch to use my character of Crazy Weezy and our first sketch to use all of RA on set. Turns out that makes it the most error prone sketch ever. You can assume the reason that booms are in all the shots, crew are in reflections, shots are overblown, and every other problem is because we wanted it to look like a bad used car commercial. Too bad that ain’t true. Coolest feature? That car was in the 2 Fast 2 Furious. That’s what makes this the most requested video Random Acts ever did.

Random Action – Episode 4

There was a yearlong break between the release of ep3 and ep4, despite us having shot it just a week later.

Tom, Jeff and myself drove to West Lafayette to shoot on the Purdue campus with my friend Jarrod. He worked with me on most of my stuff from high school. In this case he plays El Oso.

We were forced to use a MUCH worse camera than we used on our other episodes and we shot after dark resulting in near unwatchable footage. I had a rough cut ready a week after we shot it but I couldn’t bring myself to release it.

The next year I had an assignment to do an open ended video project so I finished my cut and synced it to the Raveonettes and turned it in. At that point our parent series Random Acts had started a new season with a new title style so we adopted it resulting in a new color scheme.

I still have the footage for a secret non-cannon ending that has an old flame of Jeff’s save his life. She was played by Jeff’s girlfriend at the time. At the time the script was written at least. They broke up days before we shot it. The footage is so… so bad.

When we shot Episode 5 we changed the ending so that it’s Marlowe who saves Jeff. I still regret there being no women in the series but at least they were behind the scenes for episode 5.

Random Action Logs

I promised these would be on the dvd for Random Action but I never delivered. The only person who really wanted to see them was Joanna. At the time this was considered okay. If only one person cares about it then we don't need to care. The problem is that it's Joanna. I'm here to rectify the problem now.

The first part of those were written on based on my reactions to takes. They were drawn on by her own inspiration. The last part is our notes for the first fight. It's so hard to write down fight choreography.

Random Action - Fight Choreography

Man, I've been sitting on this for over a year now. It was one of the proposed special features for the Random Action DVD. I never got it done, but now here it is. Pictures of us choreographing the first fight in episode five and a little of the last fight.

I've got video of this, but it's not as fun to watch.

Ultimate Wii Championship

I mentioned a while back that I guest starred in a new sketch from Random Acts. It was a big relief to act instead of direct. Well they finished the sketch and here it is.

I tried to channel Kurt Angle as best I could. Stealing his Intensity Integrity and Intelligence line was a joke on set. I guess I should know by now that when I do something stupid in front of a camera it's gonna be on the internet.

There's some pictures from the shoot.

Another week of Without Troy

So you know I've been working on this movie Without Troy? We just finished our sixth week. It was a lot tougher than I expected it to be. We didn't have as much time to shoot a scene than I wanted so we have to go back and try again this coming weekend. As it stands we'll have one day of re-shoots to get everything done on time. For the most part through everything is moving ahead smoothly, but it's starting to feel strange that this is all that I'm doing.

I guess this isn't all I'm doing. I got the help out this weekend with Random Acts. They needed an actor to play a professional World of Warcraft player turned Wii Tennis pro. I've never played WOW and I suck at Wii Tennis, but that's where acting comes in. I channeled the spirit of Kurt Angle and became more of a cerebral pro wrestler than what was expected of me. I'll post the video here when they finish it it.
