Chris Call has designed and gathered props for Brooklyn 99, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, House Guest and a host of other things. We talk props a lot this week, but we also talk about his turns as an extra, and his time working with Mr. Rogers. Check out my Professional Blur posts on […]
The Professional Blur Episode 11 – Adam Grimes
I first met Adam Grimes when he portrayed an eerily-perfect Westley in A Drinking Game: The Princess Bride. He’s since not only allowed me to be an extra in some of his short films, but he also added a brilliant part (and his own special effects) to my movie Looking Forward: 2016. He has some fascinating […]
The Professional Blur Episode 10 – David Nuttycombe
David Nuttycombe has been making comedy and writing and interviewing for quite some time, so its no surprise he’s made his way onto numerous sets, including with his friend, Sam Raimi. What might seem surprising, but is often the reality of an extra, is how many times he’s been chopped out. Check out my Professional […]
The Professional Blur Episode 9 – Kimberley Reynolds
My buddy Kimberley joins me from Boise to talk about her extra work on a movie starring my high school crush, Christina Ricci, and being stuck in a car waiting to do an action scene that never comes. (Check out our adventures together on Of Dice and Dens!) Check out my Professional Blur posts on […]
The Professional Blur Episode 8 – Taylor Jessen with guest co-host Alex Salem
This one is a bit out there. We were supposed to be recording an episode of the Dan and Jay’s Comedy Hour podcast, but I got some wires crossed. Instead, I sat down with Taylor Jessen, archivist for The Firesign Theatre, and we talked about his couple of fascinating extra gigs, and we’re joined by […]
The Professional Blur Episode 7 – Donna Ricci
I’ve been coming to Donna’s shop, Geeky Teas, forever, and she’s become a fan of the show I’m in called “A Drinking Game.” Turns out, not only has her goth modeling career led her to some amazing extra work, but we were also in the same episode of Alias and never knew it until we […]
The Professional Blur Episode 6 – James Urbaniak
It’s Dr. Venture himself. R. Crumb. Before all that, though, he was: Pizza Delivery Guy. James Urbaniak talks an extensive and occasionally unsanctioned extra career.

The Professional Blur Episode 4 – Matt Saxe
Matt Saxe is a great friend, best man at my wedding, and a fantastic actor. He runs the Minnesota version A Drinking Game, the show I’ve been performing in here in Los Angeles for almost a decade. This week, we talk about a variety of Matt’s experiences, primarily his crazy time on Pearl Harbor. Check […]
The Professional Blur Episode 3 – Michael Kostroff
You might know Michael Kostroff from a The Wire or a million other things. I know him from NewsRadio. He got his start as a tiny fellow in “The Heart is A Lonely Hunter,” and we talk about his extra work this week.
