Principal photography for the film "Out of Step" was completed in April, and it is in editing as we speak. It's
a short film about a father dealing with the loss of his daughter who kept a lifelong secret from him about being gay.
It will be ready for release this September.

*** UPDATE February 6th, 2007 ***
It's official!!
As of this week I am a card carrying member of both AFTRA (the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) and
SAG (the Screen Actors Guild).
I qualified for AFTRA because in 2006 I was in an episode of NBC's "Passions" and two episodes of the new FX
show "Dirt". I got qualified for SAG because I played a principal role in a commercial for General Electric that
was shot last week. I don't know when it's going to air at this time, but as usual I will keep everyone posted!
*** UPDATE January 17th 2007 ***
For those of you who missed it before, they are running my episode of "Untold Stories of the E.R." this SATURDAY
JANUARY 20th on the Discovery Health Channel at 10pm PST, and again at 1:00am. Check your local listings! I play the title
character in the episode entitled "The Toilet Paper Eating Patient". Glamorous, I know.
***Update 9/8/06***

Today is the last day of 2005. This year started out kind of rocky for me, but
it got better and better as the months went by. I signed with The Stevens Group in April, did a music video in August,
booked my episode of"Untold Stories of the ER" in September, did a play in October, A pilot in November, ANOTHER play in November,
and my first national commercial in December. My family is doing well, I've paid off most of my debts, and I feel pretty
good. I hope my good fortune continues on in 2006!

Here's the review of my play that was published in Backstage West:
|
AN EVENING OF ONE ACTS
the Tres Stage Theatre
Reviewed By Dave DePino

Dini (actor-director Brandelynn Turner) arranges a blind date for her friend Annette (Sue Fletcher),
neglecting to tell her that the blind date, Michael (Tom Trudeau), is Dini's soon-to-be-ex-husband. The meeting between the
hookups is dreadfully awkward as both are pathetically lost when it comes to social skills. The situation isn't helped when
Dini purposefully shows up at the restaurant and joins the couple, dragging along her hunky pickup for the evening, Guy (Gregor
Collins). As the first one-act, playwright Cherie Vogelstein's Cats and Dogs proves to be a hilarious primer for today's dating-,
divorcing-, and hooking-up scene. The fine cast—which also includes Jodi Adler as the waitress—works wonderfully
well together as each actor plays with the quick wit in the dialogue and the discomfort of the story's situation. Turner keeps
the pacing snappy and fresh.
Next is writer-director Sue Fletcher's Psychiatrist's Night Out—a scene clipped
out of her full-length play. Clive (Andy Kovac) and his wife, Nadine (Turner), are seeking help in their marriage by going
to a shrink, Dr. Jim (Jacques Freydont). As this tale unwinds, we discover that Nadine never learned when or how to shut up.
She nastily toys with her narcoleptic husband—who falls asleep instantly when excited—by creating odd situations
for him to wake up into. Freydont plays straight man to Turner's and Kovac's hilarious portrayals of a couple in crisis. Fletcher's
direction is right on target.
The sets, props, and lighting are as very makeshift as the theatre itself, but the work
is solid. Their presentation of comedy works because the actors become the characters in the situations and aren't just playing
at playing cute. The writing is also a cut above average. It takes a lot to make some critics laugh out loud, and this crew
knows the trick.
Unfortunately the third play, Robert Kerr's The Potato Creek Chair of Death, was canceled due to
the illness of a cast member. We wish him well.
"An Evening of One Acts" presented by Brandelynn Turner Productions
at the Tres Stage Theatre, 1523 N. La Brea Ave., Hollywood. Sun. 8 p.m. Oct. 9-30. $12. (818) 904-1787. |
