Is anybody still here!?? I'm posting anyways!!...

So it's been a long time since my last post. Very very busy but it's been good. I am working on setting up my own part-time martial arts club, I have been going out on a LOT of auditions (especially commercials) and Richelle is as busy as ever babysitting me :)

I will be doing a lot of promotional work for Kamen Rider and the ATA in the next few months and hopefully I will have some great news to share with you regarding some potential commercial jobs I'm in the running for!!

I worked on a cool short film called "Cut the Fat" that will be making the festival rounds. Met some great people that I will hopefully work with again sooner than later. 3 more weeks until I am back on "Kamen Rider". My character's "clone" makes his entrance on the show for the rest of the season. Don't tell anyone... it's a spoiler.

Richelle will be going to Hong Kong for Mattel in December for 2 weeks. I am already writing my will. Not sure how I'll handle it, but I know i'll be a wreck!

Hope all is well back in Minnesota with Excel, hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween! GO VIKINGS!

Not sure if i mentioned this movie I produced and wrote and starred in on this blog but here is "Dojo Drama" for your viewing pleasure:

Circle of Life..

As many of you know, Richelle's grandfather passed away last week. He was a great man and lived a long and happy life. It was a very tough time as Richelle was very close with her grandpa. I didn't know him for very long but for the few years that I did, he made me feel welcome to the family and we shared many laughs together. Experiencing a loss in the family is a very tough thing to do. It also gives you a chance to reflect on your own life and what you'd like to accomplish or how you'd like to be remembered when you're gone. For me, it also reminded me that it's family and loved ones that make a man, not material things.

On a brighter note, it was so much fun to see so many of you last Saturday! Thank you so much for coming out. It was great to see ALL of you! I always feel a boost of morale and energy every time I see old students and their families with all of the support you show for us!

Quick Update

I had to share this great picture of Mrs. Moh. Mattel asked her to be "Belle" from Beauty and the Beast at one of their toy presentations. It is like my favorite picture ever :)

We're coming to MN Sept. 18th -21st!! Hope to see as many of you as we can!

For those that have caught me on Kamen Rider, thanks for watching! Please continue watching! If you haven't seen it yet, check out this clip:

Also, here's a short film I did for fun with some friends called "Buttons":

Watch me on Kamen Rider.... TOMORROW!

Sorry for the last second notice... but the CW changed their minds again and started airing new episodes last week. That means tomorrow is my first episode!! TUNE IN!!

Comic Con, moving, and Kamen Rider update!

Comic Con was awesome. I got to sit on the Kamen Rider Panel and answer questions from fans, sign a few autographs, and take a few pictures. More excitingly though, Richelle and I went to COMIC CON!!! It was as crazy as I thought it'd be. Crazy people wearing crazy outfits. We got to sit in on panels for the HBO show : TrueBlood and Showtimes: Weeds.

This weekend, Richelle and I are 'movin on up' to a new place in Culver City only about a mile from our current home. I am excited for the new place, not excited for the moving!

Finally, new episodes of Kamen Rider WILL BE ON STARTING THIS SATURDAY! Originally thought to be premiering new episodes in September, they are now starting August 1st! That means yours truly will be on the tube starting on August 8th and lasting throughout August and September and a little into October. I can't wait it's been a long time coming..

KR Dragon Knight - “First Look”, Len vs. The Cho Brothers

Hey Everyone!

So, after hearing that my episodes of Kamen Rider were going to be pushed back (again!) from August to September, I saw this on TV this morning!!!

Hope you enjoy! Tomorrow I'll be working on a movie with TV and Film Star: Will Yun Lee, a guy I would love to model my acting career around. I am very excited about it!

Next weekend I am headed to the San Diego Comic Convention!

There's a 50/50 chance Richelle and I will be in Woodbury for Woodbury Days in about a month... we'll keep you posted!

ATA Worlds 09

This year I was flown out to Little Rock by the ATA to help with opening ceremonies. They even put me up in the peabody! That was the first time in the many times i've been to worlds that i've stayed there.

I had the honor of portraying (albeit for only a few minutes) the late Eternal Grandmaster H.U. Lee at opening ceremonies. It was a lot of work to get his movement and mannerisms down but I think I nailed it. It was kind of like preparing for an acting role.. Actually, it w

as exactly like that. It's amazing how much I feel I got to know what he was like just by studying his movement and expressions. A warm-hearted, charismatic individual that had the gift of leadership in a way that everyone who ever met him wanted to follow him. The ATA definitely misses his presence.

On top of that, Kamen Rider and the ATA teamed up to promote the show at opening ceremonies in which i got to do a little demo.... and i fell on my butt :) Oh well I got right back up and continued to put on a show. On Saturday, Adness Ent. (Kamen Rider's parent company) set up a booth and gave away posters, cards, and even 1000 action figures! Needless to say the action figures went quickly! So quickly that i forgot to grab some for myself! I got to sign autographs and for that day I got to feel like a celebrity:)

Here's a picture I got from Ms. K of me with Jackson!
