Forensic Factor "Picture Perfect" episode is wrapped after 2 of 4 days...

....and things are seemingly going well so far.

After having had my hair bleached white (that actually looks more blond than white) but it certainly is a new look for me.

Portraying Special Agent Tommy Ray of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement who lead a team in the investigation of 4 murders and ultimately the conviction of Nelson Serrano has been a wild ride so far.

Facebook will reveal some of the on set photos taken and the images of the new me!

I might even keep the blond thing going and let the natural colour just grow out. Of course that means new headshots and so on....


Day one was rainy in the morning and with much filming being done outside things got delayed and set back for 2-3 hours. the crew worked feverishly to make up the time and we proceeded to "shoot" the murder scenes and my return to the scene of the crime days later, trying to picture in my mind just how this all went down.

We also filmed some the interrogative scenes where Tommy questioned employees at the plant.

Day 2 saw us change locations on a much sunnier day, we filmed the arrest of Serrano, and few scenes with my visits to the parents of one of the victims that all helped to co-ordinate the eventual piecing together of some of the puzzle.

Sadly I didn't get to perform "Starsky" move sliding across the hood of a car, but I'm working on wearing down the director, at least for an out take if time permits at the conclusion of the week.

Off to the Royal York Hotel in Toronto for day 3!

Stay tuned.

Chapman's Ice Cream Call Back Audition yesterday went deliciously well

Terrence and Teresa hosted me for another round of auditions for my favorite ice cream maker, Chapman's (from Markdale, because I'm from Owen Sound, and that's close enough to "support the team."

Still without my Tux, I performed another round of solid scenes and humourous yet serious facial communications.

Then, Chantal and I were paired to do the "Black Tie Affair" together. Great job partner!

Oddly, I was previously scheduled to be paired with a 'previous wife' (i.e. Terry Nason and I played spouses in a Jaffa Orange Drink spot 3-4 weeks ago). Unfortunately, Terry had to be at another function and the time slot was not compatible for her, and she had to change her 1:40 time to earlier (12:00) so didn't get seen together on this one.

Another talent I know, Pam Farrauto was also called back for this and I didn't see her, but it would fun to work with any of these great talents!

Standing by.......shoots April 25, so hopefully my next post on this subject is one that has me "cast/booked"!
