Well there's lots going on - finally. It's feast or famine 'round here.
First, my official Walking Dead "saviors" pictures finally arrived.
Kinda cool to see them, live and in color.
Second, my birthday rolled past last week and I was given an extremely cool and totally custom, hand made, "El Pinche Pirata del Fuego" Zippo lighter. One of a kind, made by Steve West at Silver Piston. He does great work.
I should probably have a handful of these made for gifts or for sale or something. It's gorgeous in person and I've received a ton of compliments already. The engraved piece is an old Buffalo nickel that Steve hand carves and etches and then welds onto the lighter, which he burnished to give that aged, weathered look.
Third, Diesel Filling Station, the bar down the road from me, is a big TWD spot and the owner, Justin, asked for an official autographed picture of me to hang on their wall, alongside many other official TWD alumnus - including "the man" Norman Reedus.
It's a cool bar - kind of a weird blend of alternative/sports/dive bar. I mean that in the nicest way possible. Stop in for a beverage with one of my favorite neighborhood bartendresses, Liz. She's the shit.
Fourth, on July 30th, Diesel is doing their 7th Annual Zombie Pub Crawl and Justin invited me to come hang out as an semi-official TWD rep. and as a judge for the walker costume contest !
All of the ridiculousness starts at 4 pm, Saturday the 30th. The contest will start around 8 ish.
I'm getting paid in burgers and beer so I hope Justin has good credit with his local distributor !
Josh D'Agostino, who was also part of "The Saviors M/C" crew will be there as a judge with me and signing autographs, etc. Josh is a great guy and has been an incredible supporter, booster-upper. He is hard working and dedicated - and if any of us make it as actors - he will. He just has that "do it or die tryin'" attitude.

Fifth, because of that little scene on TWD, I was invited to the Charlotte Comicon as part of a TWD panel with Amber Dawn Fox (Officer Bello), Kent Wagner (walker), and my buddy and fellow "Savior" Matt Bolick, along with several others from the show!

And I'll be doing an interview with Candace Davis from Word of the Nerd ! They do online interviews and reviews about movies, etc. Nice lady. Check out their Youtube channel:
And last but not least - I have finally landed an honest to God speaking part on a TV show!
I'll be reprising my previous role(s) as "biker" - this time with lines.
AND - I don't get blown up with a bazooka like before.
Just wounded in a shoot out.
But I survive.
So there's that.
And even better, my buddy Matt Bolick, will be there too - also with HIS first speaking role.
Incredible.
Although, I'm pretty sure Matt gets to be the "tougher, more biker/thuggy" character.
(I gotta get an agent.)
It was almost exactly a year ago that we filmed that scene for TWD and here we are again, on set together, doing this thing they call "Acting" or is it "ac-Ting!"
Either way, we're both really excited.
I'll post more about the show, the channel, and the times of my big, little scream debut just as soon as I'm allowed.
Right now, mum's the word.
So don't go tell all of your friends quite yet.
It's our little secret for now.

Here's all of us together once again:
Josh D'Agostino, yours truly, Brian Lancaster, Matt Bolick - and that's Christopher Berry as the lead bad guy. Check out his IMdB page - really impressive resume!
He's worked with Mathew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Christian Bale, Jamie Foxx, and Russell Crowe to name a few.
