This just in! Hands down the best wedding photo... ever. I didn't see what Kristen was holding on to until the 3rd time I looked at it (It took me that many tries to get over the enjoyment of looking at myself)

Beer and seafood (and onion ring)Santa Barbara style (includes happy ending)

Who doesn't love a little wedding dance-off? Poppin, lockin, rollin and rockin at the Jessica Murphy/Andrew Walker wedding reception. Hudson Terrace, New York City, September 2009

Security at TKTS Times Square... not so tight.

Me and My Girl. She is so damn cute.

The Yankees cleared the bench... and hugged it out with their beloved captain.

Derek Jeter became the all-time Yankee hit leader.

The stadium was RUMBLING. I think I even teared up a bit.

Labor Day Weekend 2009: Innertubing on Lake Mead

Labor Day Weekend 2009: That's my good buddy JJ there in the middle. One interesting factoid about this shot: JJ doesn't actually KNOW anyone else in this photograph.

Labor Day Weekend 2009: "I'm on a BOAT!"

Labor Day Weekend 2009: During some Lake Mead down-time, I was compelled to perform an impromptu interpretive dance while enjoying some atmospheric 80's music.

It almost looks like I went to church camp... and had a REALLY good time.

Woops... boat's a little rocky.

Is that a move from THRILLER?

Labor Day Weekend 2009: Sometimes when you are moved by a piece of music, you just gotta GO with it.

Trying to throw my New York attitude around.

Working a charity event in Santa Clarita for IZZE

Anne posing with the notorious DRAGON that I found myself sliding down headfirst a few minutes later.

Inspired by the little kids who felt no fear for the Dragon, I launched my first attempt.

Pausing to ponder, plus my knees were wobbly and I needed a moment to get my wits about me.

This was my heavy, quasi-spiritual, zen slash sitting frog-like moment in the thick of Griffith Park.

Tony D and ME.

A happy hi-five at the height of our trip.

Hi-fiving can be fun!

"Young man, this is where deals are spoken and broken... and you're a long way from Hoboken."

We decided to simmer down and shoot something more stoic... sovereign.

Cool shot of Anne with all of LA below. I took this picture btw.

I took a handful of pictures while I was lying in the grass on my back... looking up towards the Hollywood sign...upside down... good times. I thhink Anne was actually grazing but its hard to tell... I was upside down.

Playing an Alienware Secret Agent at the E3 Expo in Los Angeles, June 2009. Of course I had to stop by and pose with the Ninja girls.

T7 and ME... playin it up at E3.

Not sure who this guy is, but I think he is up to something.

June 2009: On the set of a legal industrial video that I produced and also acted in. I was supposed to be the unkempt, not-so-professional paralegal. So the make up girl was helping me.

A little horseplay and rollin on the floor never hurt nobody.

Ok...somebody's gonna get hurt.

Love this shot.

I'm at this really cool State Park in LA. Dirt pathways wrapped up in rolling hills. It overlooks the entire metro area. I can't remember the name though.

25. I remember the exact moment I became a Yankee fan. It was October 14, 1976, during the ninth inning of Game Five of the ALCS against the Royals at Yankee Stadium, Chris Chambliss crushed a first-pitch, walk-off home run that sent the Yankees to their first World Series since 1964. I couldn't get over how cool it was to see all the fans were running all over the field. Many of them getting mowed won or body slammed by Chambliss himself. I tuned in to every Yankee game after that in hoping to get another glimpse of such an amazing spectacle.

24. Because of the way the music industry has evolved, and because of the influence of factors like American Idol... I fear that we will never see another band rise above and become legendary... TRULY legendary. Gone are the days of U2, The Rolling Stones...even Pearl Jam.

23. I can't stand picky eaters... I'm sorry..I had to say it... its a huge pet peeve of mine.

22. I stopped eating fast food a year ago and since then I am ultra sensitive to sodium. Its really weird, but if I even just taste something from the fast food family, a burger, pizza... within the hour I feel totally dehydrated and my mouth is bone dry. Interesting that when you eat fast food regularly, you are not affected nor do you even NOTICE the crazy amounts of sodium.

21. I'm really good at getting the job. I'm really bad at keeping it.

20. I stay in touch with all my ex girlfriends.. except for one. I adore all of them... except for one... ok maybe TWO.

19. I like living in Los Angeles, but I'm madly in love with New York City.

18. I'm kind of wondering if I should be doing something more productive right now.

17. I'm incredibly proud of my little brother and his beautiful family.

16. In the 80's, I only listened to U2 and hip hop (Run DMC, LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, Doug E Fresh, Whodini). Now I listen to everything.

15. I'm on the phone with a casting director while drinking a protein shake (that's what i have for breakfast these days)... and guess what... good news...I just booked something... for F/X...or is it SPIKE TV? Crap... I cant remember... oops...I spilled my drink.

14. It's funny...I don't FEEL 30??

13. I love foreign films because they are so much more about serving the story than serving the star.

12. I secretly wish I could be a professional boxer... I'd be light heavyweight champ.

11. I was in a show during the Summer of 2002 up in Palenville, NY (Right near Woodstock).The ITAD company gave me a place to stay and allowed me to bring my German Shepherd, Kane. Kane and I would hike and explore the Hunter Mountain area by day, rehearse and perform in the evening. Kane would also hang out backstage during rehearsals and come out every so often to growl when the actors got too dramatic. He always preferred a more subtle style. It was probably the best Summer of my life. Now, I'm officially credited with originating the role of CARTER in the Sam French publication of THE KING'S HORSES by David L. Paterson. Go ahead, pick it up. My name is right inside the cover.

10. Despite all his flaws and failures and considering his challenges... i still think my Father is a pretty amazing man.

9. The Tuna Fish sandwich has always been my favorite food. My Mom used to make me a tuna sandwich for lunch, put it in a paper bag and send me off to school. I would eat the sandwich before I ever got there. I just couldn't wait.

8. I was born in Charlotte. I grew up in Ridgewood. Freshman year in Greensboro. Finished in Framingham, MASS. I spent a semester in between in Rutland, Vermont. I lived in Clear Lake, TX, Rosharon, TX and Houston; Mahwah, NJ and the East Village, Hells Kitchen, Washington Heights and now Los Angeles.

7. I'm really superstitious. I will wear my teams gear all week long, but I refuse to wear the gear during game time... its bad luck. When I was 11.. i was on my way to my little league game at Vets field. I stopped off at Dairy Queen and got myself a quick cheese dog. I hit a home run my first time up that day. Now I eat a cheese dog whenever I need an extra boost. I have one before every performance. A visit to Grays Papaya became a pre-show ritual that would never waiver.

6. Twenty FIVE random things? I'm getting a little tired of working on this.

5. I fast twice a year.... just for a day... cleans out the system... and I feel amazing the next day. if you think about it... there is a fasting process built in to almost every religion...

4. I have Old Man ripples on my thumb nails... I got them a while back...I used daily moisturizer on my thumbs and 6 months later it cleared up... now..they are back again...

3. I am obviously running out of things to share.

2. The sun is now setting on my day long project.

1. I love my Mother.
