Since it is absolutely pouring here in Boston, I decided to post one of my favorite pictures of warmer and dryer days down by the Charles River.

Got a call last night from a Boston Casting to be a background extra as a detective supervisor on the ABC pilot “Boston’s Finest”. A super rainy day in Everett made for an interesting and (still) very fun day filming a scene in the streets. Watched and learned a lot from being on set,...

As part of Scott Asks Dirty Harry For an Ass Beating, I sent off a “No More Spectating” window sticker to his manager, Mr. Leonard Hirshan. That web address, which now redirects to this one, was bought five years ago for another project I was working on at the time. Sure he probably throws...

I have neither the room nor the money to buy a home theater system. That didn’t stop the Bose people from booking me for a two and a half day shoot for their new home theater system. You never know where I will pop up…in a store, in a box, on your TV,  in...

I am gonna bang out an audition for a supporting role as a new detective in a short film adaptation of the book “Ghosts of Sackett Lake“. Should be an absolute blast. Have to prepare a 30-60 second monologue, call backs will be in April and shooting in the end of May. It will...

I actually took this picture with a mediocre point-and-shoot so it’s not the greatest. Was still pretty cool to see this kid super excited photographing a sunset down on Cape Cod. Unfortunately, I couldn’t locate his contact info since I probably wrote it on a gum wrapper or bill I ended up throwing out....

Ripped abs? 30 inch waist? Potato in my underwear? Not needed for one of my first print ads ever….this one for Blue Seal Sentinel horse feed. Shot it north of Boston with advertising photographer Tibor Nemeth and a few of my favorite animals hanging out with me in the field. Fun! Look, even the...

Somehow, T.U.G. has been asked to possibly be a “fit model” for a local sports clothing manufacturer. Not “fitness” mind you, but “fit” model which means when they are fitting, measuring and cutting clothes for the the various bodies out there, they might just be using Scott. Lots of me in different states of...

T.U.G hasn’t read a ton of books, but he knows a good one when he finds one. The simplest way he knows is when he’s not bored by the second page, not drowsy by the third and not drooling on the fourth. This is one of the best self-help / motivational books I have...

This one is a reflection of the Green “T” Line that runs in and out of Boston. The operator was either nice enough to wait until I got the picture or confused enough to try and figure me out. Either way, pretty sure she thought I was nuts!

I believe after a week of not eating everything, some running and not working out nearly enough, I believe I’ve lost an ounce of fat and maybe stacked on a whopping cell of muscle. CSI Anchorage, here I come! Stay tuned cuz the warm(er) weather has arrived in Boston and with it, the inability...

After a very speedy recovery from the last open mic (previous post),  I have signed up for two more Sunday open mic nights at Dick Doherty’s Comedy Vault in Boston and considering making that an weekly gig. It is a good night to see a random group of acts from throughout the city. Usually...

How easy is it to do the same job in two different cities, 3 days apart and have it be loved by the first and hated by the second? Very easy if you are a new comedian trying out material. I did almost the exact same set in Boston on Sunday to a very...

Last month, I auditioned for (but didn’t get) a lead role in a film by students at Emerson College in Boston. No worries at all. I just received a request from that same Director to be the lead in a dramatic short film as part of the Campus Movie Festival. If it wins the...

I headed over to Maura Tighe Casting to audition for a Bose Home Theater educational video series. Felt pretty good…although as T.U.G. (and everyone reading this) knows, just because it feels good doesn’t mean it’s gonna work out. We’ll see what happens.

Jumping through the normal hoops (aka emailing them), I am hoping to get some stage time at Improv Boston in the North End. It’s a great place that has both an open mic and a “night cap” series following the main show on Friday and Saturday nights. Would be an awesome place to step...

After a few weeks of preparation, a couple days of pretending my living room was a stage and the plants were the audience and some last minute tweaking, I rocked out a pretty decent open mic set at Dick Doherty’s Comedy Vault in Boston Monday Night. Seven friends (plus fifty strangers) watching five minutes...

Then I definitely had today off. Good news? Not when you consider that it was because I didn’t get the commercial I auditioned for on Monday. Oh well, when someone gives you lemons, look at them and ask “now what the #$%@ am I gonna do with these”. What I did do was send...

I have actually received a response to my request to be on Rescue Me. After emailing a bunch of people and companies, Sean, a representative from Barbara McNamara Casting in NYC emailed to say they could put me on as an extra in the near future. A quick call back and conversation today and...

Day two of my fitness program and it is confirmed by the words on the treadmill, “Below Average”. That’s great. My health has now caught up with my SATs, GPA, credit score and probably so many other things I have been evaluated on in my life. I did meet with the trainer to do...

Beginning today I am going on a bender. Not one of my typical benders of fast food, late night trips to the fridge and not exercising nearly enough bender. Actually, it is a four week challenge to see just what I can do with both high intensity exercise and solid nutrition. There is a...
