When I first made this website with my brother, I told him I wanted to have a blog. I thought that I would share all of my thoughts and observations with the world. In practice so far I’ve done very little of that. I guess this is another check in on what I’ve been doing recently.
Moving to Hollywood
Oliver Muco Nicholson, TikTok star and medieval history aficionado, and I moved into an apartment in the heart of Hollywood. It’s been great, but we did have a little bit of a rat problem for a while. One day we went into the kitchen and saw bite marks on a bunch of bananas. For some reason we dismissed it – big mistake. That evening I had a night shoot for a proof of concept short film. It was a lot of fun, but when I came home after 13 hours of work I found my sleeping mask had been torn apart. There were rat droppings next to it. I boiled my bed sheets and texted the landlord. That’s where it all started. We got traps and caught a rat. Then another. An exterminator came and we sealed off all possible entry points, so we’ve been rat free for a little while now. But I’m still pretty jumpy when I hear creaking at night…
Getting cast in a play
Another thing that happened is that I got cast in my first professional theater show! It’s produced by Towne Street Theatre and it’s called ‘In Response: Rise Up!’. It’s an anthology of political one act plays, it’s performed at the Stella Adler. With our new apartment I can walk to rehearsal and performances staying true to my European needs. The show recently got a very positive review, I’d love for anybody who reads this to come out and support 🙂

Getting cast in another short film and doing an audio play
The real fans will remember me doing a fringe play a while back – well, the director asked me to be in an audio play for Open Door Playhouse. It was really fun and it was featured in Broadway World, which is a heaven sent for my artist’s visa… https://www.broadwayworld.com/las-vegas/article/Open-Door-Playhouse-Will-Release-TATTOO-A-TALE-OF-TERROR-as-a-Podcast-Play-20250926
I also got cast in another short film called ‘Perfect Masks’. I play an opportunist living in Hollywood – not much I have to play up there. It’s written and directed by Avery Anthony and I’m very excited to get started on this project! This is the gofundme: https://www.gofundme.com/f/produce-a-perfect-thriller-this-november?attribution_id=sl:ade2ef13-73a5-4932-bace-a17d16f0a72c&lang=en_US&ts=1760457269&utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_dash&utm_content=amp13_c-amp17_tc&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link And this is the reading we’re doing for it: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/perfect-masks-a-live-reading-tickets-1754951941499?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl.
A court TV show
I also did a court show – which was insane. I walked A REAL STUDIO SET. I couldn’t stop cheesing when I saw the cameras and the lights and the seats… What an experience. The show is going to be on Hulu and I have to say I’m a little nervous to see how it turned out.
That’s everything for now, I’m going to try to stay more active here in the future, but we’ll see.
