To me, Al Ross has only been a character in the screenplay until today. As the screenplay indicates, he was the one who convinced Kurt Kuykendall to try out for the college soccer team. I've been picking Al's brain for stories about his coach, so that I can play Coach Ryan more effectively in the f...

It's been my dream and prayer that we'd be able to funnel MasterWorks theatre (www.RichDrama.com/MWF) students into professional projects. With For the Glory (www.RichDrama.com/ForTheGlory) the dream is coming true and the prayer is being answered!

When I found out about For the Glory I invited all...

Over lunch I heard the story of how this film was green-lighted:

Chris and Nancy Rogers run CDR Communications, Inc., and they brought Donald (pictured here) and Sandra Leow over from Singapore to work on some projects. When they first got to the States, the Leows actually lived in this house wher...

My character isn't on today's call sheet, but one of the characters mocks my character's Scouse (Liverpool) accent. I'm here to make sure we're on the same page with the dialect.

It's great to be on set day one and be there for our director's opening speech and prayer. He said that if any of the cast...

After dedicating our film to the Lord, Pastor Bill Jesche preached on Philippians 4:10-23. He told his own story of life as a young actor, and how he had realized that he'd placed performing at the center of his life. When he wasn't cast in a play it devastated him. He challenged everyone in the fil...

The film For the Glory (www.RichDrama.com/ForTheGlory) tells the story of Olympic soccer player Kurt Kuykendall. Over lunch he joined us, so I grabbed him to get some pointers for playing a soccer coach. He had lots of great observations!

I just arrived for the table reading of For the Glory.

I've performed at The King's Chapel
A few times, but always when they were renting a school auditorium. It's great to see their current home.

This is turning out to be much more than a table read. Our director, Donald Leow, has us on our feet a...

At this Cinco de Mayo celebration at Jackson House, a retirement community where my grandma (pictured here) lives in Talent, Oregon, the staff asked if I'd perform a sketch. Instead I came back the next day and gave them a whole play! I was already planning on performing Beyond the Chariots on Mothe...

In my performance on Mother's Day I added a couple of scenes that had a Mother's Day theme to them. It was great to have my own mom there.

I'm performing Beyond the Chariots this Sunday in my home town of Phoenix, OR, and I've added a couple of scenes that have a Mother's Day theme in them.

The pastor of the host church just happened to be lunching with the lead elder of the Beijing International Christian Fellowship in Angelo's Pizz...

Many of you prayed for my cousin's daughter, Aviana, last year when she ran into traffic as a two-year old. I'm in Sacramento, CA, where I finally got to meet her. Pray for increased functionality, for speech and motor control.

At the Lausanne Conversation I just happened to sit next to a pastor from England who's prepping to teach a session in Edinburgh on Eric Liddell, who I portray in my play Beyond the Chariots: Eric Liddell: Muscular Christianity and Missionary Service.

I had noticed him and his wife on the str...
