Hey Everybody!! Shit, it's been a CRAZY week. As you know by now I was offered a role in the upcoming film "Bernard and Doris", which I gratefully accepted, and it's a truly amazing thing. The film is about the eccentric life of tobacco billionairess Doris Duke and her butler, whom she left her entire fortune to when she passed.The role I'll be playing is cool and involves a lot of different creative looks which I'm very excited about. My character is Doris' lover......a jazz piano player, so I'll be playing and singing, but also interacting with the main characters in the story. What!!??!! I met Susan Sarandon (who plays Doris Duke) yesterday and read over the script with her and the director (a tremendous actor in his own right, Robert Balaban) and it was truly my pleasure. She is SO laid back, SO cool, SO open and SO gracious. An extremely warm, beautiful person. I can't wait to work with her!
Start shooting on the 9th of November. I'll keep y'all posted!
