I am very happy with the progress I've made this year. First off, I'm very grateful for my new agent Michelle Mondi who has been opening up doors to much better projects for me. The first of which is "The Gunman" starring Sean Penn and directed by Pierre Morel who also directed "Taken." I played an American Newscaster reporting on the state of the Congo. 

Among my other fun projects the last couple of months, I am particularly proud of "Blood on the Road." A short film where I play a crisis negotiator who attempts to talk a young man out of jumping to his death. A well written film that I hope will do well on the film festival circuit once it's released. I also had the great pleasure of working with Colin Firth and Jude Law on the film "Genius" directed by Michael Grandage. It's about Max Perkins the editor of Scribner's who was responsible for editing the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway and Thomas Wolfe. 

I am current working on the ambitious independent feature film "1603" directed by Paul J. Lane. It's the story of a Kurdish man who gets accused of a terrorist act...but, did he really do it? It's due for a spring 2015 release. 

Finally, I directed a staged reading for "F.I.L.T.H. (Failed in London, Try Hong Kong)" by Jingan Young. It's an ambitious new play about expats living in Hong Kong. We had a highly successful premiere at the Soho Theatre in November. We hope that it will be picked up for a full run in 2015 as well.

Welp, that it for now my friends! I've been doing other stuff too, but these are the highlights. So you go enjoy a spot of egg nog and other various holiday cheer. If you're feeling down at all and come across my path, I'll happily share a hearty hug with you!

Cheers,

Erick
