Background work & on-set storiesFilm and television background appearances, personal memories, and Money Monster press.
These are background appearances and on-set memories, separate from the screen and stage credits above. The Money Monster excerpts discuss the film’s foosball cutaway.
- The Wolf of Wall Street
- Stratton Oakmont broker. Worked on the film for 21 days, with an individual close-up in a late-film office sequence.
- Money Monster
- TV viewer. Jodie Foster selected me from the background group for a close-up reaction: absorbed by the television, then returning to a game of foosball. The moment drew notice in coverage of the film, with the calling it a “brief but telling shot.”
- Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
- Background appearance with an individual close-up in the opening office scene.
- Sisters
- An improv audition landed me “Dave’s Friend” on the call sheet, appearing in the party’s arrival sequence and scenes throughout the film. That first night meant hours in a red pickup with John Leguizamo. We struck up an easy rapport; he nicknamed me “Hall & Oates,” due to an apparent resemblance.
- White Collar
- Core FBI background work across four seasons. I was part of the “Harvard crew,” which always felt like a fitting match for my look and vibe.
An on-set memory
On White Collar, I got to arrest Billy Dee Williams. He played Lando Calrissian, one of my favorite Star Wars characters growing up. A pretty great day at work.
