TONIGHT on NCIS!

Watch for me on tonight’s episode of “NCIS” on CBS! This legendary show is in its 19th season, and I’m so thrilled to be a small part of it. Big thanks to Jason Kennedy for casting me, and the wonderful actors, directors, and crew for welcoming me so warmly on set. Check your local listings!

Sunday March 6: "Shining Vale" with Courteney Cox!

Look for me in the new Starz horror/comedy “Shining Vale” starring Courteney Cox! It’s a very funny script from creator/writers Jeff Astrof and Sharon Horgan. The show premieres Sunday March 6, and I’ll be in Episode 2 (also airing that night). Here’s a screengrab from the trailer, of me sitting with the talented Sherilyn Fenn, Eva La Dare, and Beth Curry (Courteney’s back is to the camera here). Check it out on Starz!

Virtual Reading of Jihan Crowther's New Play "LIONS" at Boston Court Pasadena Theatre!

I’m so excited to be acting in “Lions” (by Jihan Crowther) at Boston Court Pasadena on Saturday Sept 18 starting at 10 am PDT. It’s FREE, and virtual, so you can watch it from the comfort of your own pajamas if you want! Register HERE for the free link.

Here’s the synopsis: At a possibly haunted party, Wallis, the world’s worst hostess, attempts to entertain her guests—one of whom is hellbent on commandeering her home before the night is over. When unexpected secrets surface, the party takes a startling turn. Soon everyone is forced to choose sides as the chaos inside begins to reflect the turmoil brewing outside.

And I get to play Wallis! It’s a very intense and engrossing new piece, and I’m honored to be a part of it. Don’t miss this new play by my brilliant friend (who also happens to have been a writer on “The Underground Railroad” and “The Man in the High Castle”). Please support this wonderful theater, and join us.

In QCode's New Horror Anthology Podcast Series "Bad Vibes!"

Check out QCode Media’s new narrative podcast series “Bad Vibes: The Ultimate Horror Anthology For the Ears!” This very cool company has created lots of immersive audio storytelling experiences, and “Bad Vibes” is their newest series to be released. There are several fun stories here — all short, all free, all suspenseful. I love the way they make the most of the audio experience to draw you into the story.

Listen for me in episodes titled “After The Beep” and “Don’t Leave Me.” Also found on #ApplePodcasts. Enjoy!

Official Selection 2021 Over The Fence Film Festival in Australia!

So thrilled that “Gratitude Jar Time Capsule” will be included in the upcoming Australian “Over The Fence Film Festival” which will be celebrating its 25th year!

The fun starts in Perth May 6, 7, & 8, and tours the country until November. Once the exact schedule it announced, I’ll post it here. (And privately YEARN to attend in person!)

I had the honor of being the co-writer, co-director and co-star of the film “A Bit of Counseling” which won “Most Popular Film” at the Over The Fence Festival in 2009, so this festival holds a special place in my heart.

Thank you OTF Fest, and congrats on 25 years!
