Cast photo from last night's reading of Jim Beaver's adaption of "The Ox Bow Incident." The performance turned out beautifully, with 28 talented actors on stage! I got to play three very different characters, which was really fun for me. Kudos to Jim and director Charlie Mount for a class act.

Honored to be performing in this play reading tonight, written by my friend Jim Beaver! I'm playing three different characters! One of which was played in the movie version by none other than Rondo Hatton! #acting #stagereading #western

I know I am many years behind the curve here, but I have two important takeaways from finally watching this terrific movie.
1) Blanton's bourbon is the best pain-killer for serious wounds.
2) Never, ever kill Keanu Reeves' puppy.
That is all.
Happy March.
