My short film "Wild Sound" won 12 awards and was seen at festivals around the world and broadcast nationally on A&E Network and WNET, Channel 13. I've directed music videos, even some Karaoke music videos (don't ask) and had screenplays in development, blah, blah, blah.

I was a "Stupid Human Trick" on Late Night with David Letterman. I get asked a LOT of questions about that. It's actually on my resume, so I guess it serves me right. But, for those who don't know:

• I threw my jacket up in the air and as it's coming down, my arms go in the sleeves.
• I can still do this trick; anyone can learn it. I just happened to be the only one on the planet up to do it.
• If you want to be a Stupid Human Trick, your trick has to look good in slo-mo instant replay.
• Dave doesn't like to meet people before the show even though you're basically hanging around backstage with him & everyone else; he like the spontanaity of meeting you live, onstage.
• Paul Schaeffer, quite the opposite, was very friendly backstage.
• Dave, onstage, was very nice and we improvised a funny handshake as I was leaving.
• I appeared on the same show with Buddy Hackett & Laurie Anderseon. Laurie Anderson was very cool and friendly and told me she really liked my trick. Years later I ran into her and reminded her we hung out in the green room for Letterman and she looked at me like I was crazy.
• I got paid scale. I even got residuals when they reran the show.
• Dave asked me where I learned it and I was too busy preparing to do the trick, and I said something like "I don't know...it's an old family thing." This got a lot of laughs.
• One potential client suggested I remove the "Stupid Human Trick" from my resume, but generally every single interview & phone call I get about work circles around to people saying, 'the real reason I called was....what was your stupid human trick.'
• This is not a top ten list.
