#SetLife = #CupcakeLife

I’m on location at a restaurant in Beverly Hills today shooting the feature film Tournament! I worked with the director, Patricia Viayra, on her first film back in 2008, so I was thrilled when she called and offered me this role on on her newest project. I can’t believe I’ve known this amazing woman since before I was even committed to the acting game. Crazy. And in even better news (well, not really, but almost)… look what just arrived on set! The cupcake life is everything. These little babies are courtesy of Baby Bea’s Bakeshop, 311 S Robertson Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90211.

Mmm hmm. Go get you some. Back to work for me!

Post Workout Pain

We shot some #SMACKUnit behind-the-scenes footage during our weekly stunt training session last night.  Imagine this: a total of four super-fit acrobat guys (2 pairs… they switched off, so they were always fresh) coming at you to “attack” you.  Constantly.  Yeah.

So I practiced my sequence about a hundred times, we filmed a few, and then I went home and died.  😉  It was a blast, but let’s just say I took a “rest day” today.  And regretted laughing every time I did because my abs are so sore.  #funstuff #kickingass #youshouldhaveseentheotherguys

We have just a week left of funding to make this show happen.  If you are waiting to make a pledge, please don’t wait any longer.
