Michael Glover, Robyn Rosenkrantz, Paul Huebl and Gregor Marvel Berlin, Germany —I had the absolute pleasure to sit down with two expatriate  Americans living in this great city.  Musicians and filmmakers Michael Glover and Robyn Rosenkrantz sold everything they owned but their musical instruments and the clothes on their backs taking the very bold step of moving to Europe.  They’ve been making films with their own production company Bright Blue Gorilla .   I first met them through their European friends after getting invited to a Hollywood Screening of their farce film, Go With Le Flo .   It was a real Blue Carpet Event where I was handed a banana as I walked in the door. The Film was terrific and the reception after was filled with cast members that flew in for the event.   It made for a delightful evening.   I knew it was just a matter of time and I’d be visiting with them and another Berlin pal, Gregor Marvel that was in that ...

Phoenix, AZ —Prosecutors went to the Court of Last Resort to salvage their soiled reputations and that of a disgraced former cop. Finally Debra Milke is free even though she already paid a price far greater than that of most convicted murderers in America.  It was not just Prosecutorial Misconduct that freed Milke but it was really about her innocence.   Had there been a retrial there was not a scintilla of a chance they'd have re-convicted Milke.  This was just nothing more than an "Hail Mary" effort to limit corrupt official's liability under the doctrine of  Collateral Estoppel .  That's legalese that would decree in a civil lawsuit that since the judge let the trial commence, that the cops and prosecutors were acting in good faith.  This has been a 25 yearlong odyssey that began December 3, 1989.   That day I met Milke as she was being booked into the Madison Street Jail on a charge of murdering h...

Stephanie Carrie will make you laugh for sure! Los Angeles, CA —Most of my visitors know that among other things I’m an actor too.  I met Stephanie Carrie when I attended Tom Todoroff’s  Acting Studio here and made some other life long friends along the way.  Nearly every one of Tom’s students has some kind of TV or film credits but making the coveted A list is really tough.   We've all learned that even the best talent does not translate to fortune and fame.  It’s more about having a very effective agent.  It also boils down to the agent selecting the you as their talent and not then other way around.  Carrie is an actress, singer, writer and comedian.  Like everyone she struggled and paid her dues.  She also recently started a web series.   Carrie has a YouTube channel and put something up yesterday that caught my eye.  It’s a satirical parody of the crisis in the Ukraine and that thin-skinned Russ...
