Marriage / Treasure of the Lost Jedi
So, once again, it's been sometime since I've actually updated my news section.
What's been going on!? Well, I did get married to this beautiful woman:
And let me tell you putting on a wedding is a production! Best day ever.
Professionally, I've been keeping busy lending my voice to some really cool animated projects, which I'll hopefully be able to talk about soon; I can show you this really cool film made by my good buddy, Ivan Mouthino, who worked on Sleepwalkers. He wrote and directed this really cool fan film for the Star Wars Fan Film Awards and asked me to voice the droid companion for his adventuring hero.
LoveFanFilm.com said, "The score, acting and cinematography is very impressive as is T5-88’s brilliant voice-over."
See it for yourself. Run time: 7 Mins
Rainbow Six: Siege
I'm voicing an operator in the upcoming Tom Clancy game Rainbow Six: Siege from Ubisoft Montreal. After working on the game in the VO studio, talking with the designers, and following the development over the past several months, I can tell you I'm really excited about this game and I think you should be too. You can check out the SAS sizzle reel below...
I voice Sledge.
Each operator has a special skill; Sledge is a Breach & Clear specialist.
With this beauty...

I'm Heading to Sacramento for the Holidays
The following Press Release is from B Street Theatre, by way of broadwayworld.com.
HANDLE WITH CARE to Play B Street Theatre This Holiday Season
B Street is pleased to present the regional premiere of HANDLE WITH CARE as the Mainstage offering for the 2015 holiday season.
Broadway World says HANDLE WITH CARE "closely resembles comedies by Neil Simon and Woody Allen." This moving romantic comedy is sweet, funny and a perfect destination for everyone during the holidays. Handle with Care makes you laugh, think and feel good while reminiscing about romantic and familial relationships - those we have, those we've lost and the near misses in between.
Written by Emmy Award nominated writer and producer Jason Odell Williams, HANDLE WITH CARE was a New York Times Critics' Pick and ran Off-Broadway for 112 performances with screen legend Carol Lawrence. Since 2011, HANDLE WITH CARE has had more than 15 regional productions in the U.S. and Canada. The play was also recently optioned for a film.
A romance for the holidays on B Street's Mainstage! Circumstances both hilarious and challenging bring together a young Israeli woman, who has little command of English, and a young American man, who has little command of romance. Is their inevitable love an accident...or is it destiny, generations in the making?
HANDLE WITH CARE runs November 22, 2015 - January 3, 2016, playing Tuesdays at 6:30 pm; Wednesdays at 2:00 pm and 6:30 pm; Thursdays and Fridays at 8:00 pm; Saturdays at 5:00 pm and 9:00 pm; Sundays at 2:00 pm. Previews: Saturday, November 21 at 5:00 pm and Sunday, November 22 at 2:00 pm. Press Opening: Sunday, November 22 at 7:00 pm.
