In case you were wondering, I’m the guy playing the sleazeball. It’s a scene from Eastbound and Down, where I play Kenny Powers, a former Major League Baseball super-star.
This is from an acting class I enrolled in at a local community college. I thought it would be fun and benefit my writing to take the class. I was right, though I’m not too sure acting is in the cards for me.
Featured alongside me is Ami Wong, a beautiful young actress who made it to the final cut of a major role for a studio sitcom, and my buddy Nick VanAmburg, who’s simply funny as f*ck. I hope you get a good laugh out of this, whether it was at my expense or not. Feel free to roast me in the comment section, but lay off the other(good) actors.

hahaha… yeeeaah. π Made me snort in amusement at least π You weren’t TERRIBLE… buuut… yeah, writing is definitely more your forte π Fun, thanks for sharing!
Hahaha, you shattered my dream, Rae! ; ) Just kidding, I know… I like writing more anyway.
Daaaw I mean you’re REALLY good at acting, brah. Hahaha
Haha, I can tell you that’s from the heart ;). Thanks Rae!
I actually enjoyed watching this! You should act more! It was hilarious to watch. π
Haha, glad to make you laugh (even if it was at my expense). Thank you! I will be, and intend to post it on here despite my struggle to get words out of my mouth once the camera starts rolling. I’ve been posting daily video logs on my twitter account that are equally embarrassing fyi. Always happy to entertain you, Laura!
Omg! I must follow your twitter then π
Hahaha! I’m following yours now, too!
Haha, that’s awesome man! Any more clips?
Thanks, Zanthee! Not yet, but I should have some more soon. I think I’ll post clips like these every Saturday. I’m glad you enjoyed, thanks for the (ill-advised) encouragement!
Loved this. You were a very convincing sleezeball. Thanks for sharing.
Ha! I’ve heard that a lot, unfortunately… I’m a nice guy though, I promise!
hehehehe… that made me giggle π
Haha! I’m serious!
OK ok “Thomas is not a sleazeball” …I’ll remember that π nah, but for serious you do seem like a nice guy
I am!!
Well I’m a nice girl too… Sorta π
Haha!
Classic π You were really great π What Community College do you go to btw π P.S. I will keep up with your past blog posts in regards to The Master, I have just been so busy lately with college and work. Anyway, keep up the great work as always π
I don’t blame you, really busy over here as well. Great? That’s a bit of a stretch! I’m happy to hear “Mediocre”, hahaha. Happy you enjoyed, keep up the hard work yourself, my friend!
Ha! At least you got some great lessonsπ
Seriously! The main lesson being to memorize my lines! I stumbled through each take, and annoyed the hell out of the other actors, who came fully prepared. Acting is much harder than it looks, I’ve realized. Thank you Jacqueline!
You are welcome Thomas. At least you get to chuckle when you remember π
Haha, I know, right? The teacher always gets upset with me because she feels I’m not taking acting seriously. Recently I’ve decided to put more effort forward, it isn’t fair to others. I’m a sucker for chuckling when I know I’m screwing something up! I can’t help it
