This is the place to get caught up to speed on some of the hot stuff I got going on.

“AMERICAN SPLENDOR” (a movie I’m in) is now available on DVD & video! That’s right – even Blockbuster has it! If you haven’t heard of it – it was named BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR by the National Society of Film Critics, The Los Angeles Film Critics, & Newsweek magazine. I have a big role in it playing supernerd “Toby Radloff”. It is - no bullshit - the best reviewed movie of 2003. It also won Sundance. I was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for the Independent Spirit Awards for my performance in it. That’s right – somebody actually nominated me for an award.

“BEST WEEK EVER” is a new tv show on VH1 that airs every Friday night & gets repeated to shit on Saturday and Sunday (check VH1.com for details). I’m often on the show – not always – but often. (I don’t even know when I’m going to be on). The show’s kind of like “I Love the 80’s” – except it’s about last week. So if you’re nostalgic for last week – this show’s for you.

COMEDY CENTRAL – This Memorial Day Weekend I’ll be “hosting” Comedy Central – basically that means – I did a lot of promo spots (funny commercials/vignettes/sketches/skits – whatever you want to call them) for the channel that will air between their programs all weekend.

MORE MOVIES
Just finished shooting a movie called “DUANE HOPWOOD” in Atlantic City with David Schwimmer - and also Janeane Garofalo…and get this…Dick Cavett! I have a big part in this one. It’s an independent and it’s comedy and drama – mostly drama – but my part is mostly comedy. And the director of it, Matt Mulhern, co-starred in one of my favorite movies “Extreme Prejudice” – which is a movie about Nick Nolte being pissed off at everyone and then trying to kill everyone – but out trying to kill him are Michael Ironside, Powers Boothe, William Forthsythe, and Matt Mulhern! But there are no machine guns in “Duane Hopwood”. Making the movie was a lot of fun. On my off days in Atlantic City, I won 10 million dollars playing craps, won a cheesesteak eating competition, opened up a tattoo shop, and got married 5 times. I look forward to seeing the movie & I’ll let you know when it opens.
In June I’ll be in the Atlanta, Georgia area doing an independent feature called “The Unseen”.

I’ve already shot these movies:
• SURVIVING CHRISTMAS – I have a funny scene with Ben Affleck & Christina Applegate in this movie.
• PIZZA – I play a door guy in this one.
• BAD MEAT – I play a fix-it guy in this one.

STAND-UP
This weekend – May 13, 14, & 15 I’ll be at The Laugh Factory in L.A. Thurs 8pm, Fri.10pm, Sat 8pm shows. Also Thurs May 13 I’ll be at the Improv in L.A.

May 21 - I”ll be performing at Carleton College which is near Minneapolis, MN
On off days from “The Unseen” in June, I’ll be doing stand-up at some local comedy clubs in Atlanta.
In July I will get back to New York City and will be lots of stand-up shows.
In July I will also be doing some shows in the Maryland/DC/Virginia area.

RETARDED – Look out for repeats of an episode of “CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM” on HBO where I play a mentally challenged guy named Donald. I wash Larry David’s car and really get him pissed. It’s the 3rd episode of the new season (technically it’s called “The Blind Date” episode 33 season 4).

MORE HOT STUFF
Critical hit & neilson ratings bonanza made for television motion picture event “SPRING BREAK LAWYER” still available on VHS. Sorry – DVD still not available. Just Announced: “SPRING BREAK LAWYER” official selection 2004 Cannes Film Festival. This is the first time that a film that was made for TV & that has already aired on TV and is available on VHS is been accepted to the Cannes Film Festival.

Judah appeared both “Along Came Polly” & “Starsky & Hutch” for about 10 seconds (combined). My appearances were so brief in these movies – I don’t even think the directors realize I was in them.

The Dave Matthews Band music video “Everyday” which I star in as “THE HUG GUY” still plays sometimes on TV.
