My take on the voice of Zapp Brannigan.  So glad the show is coming back!  Although they actually put out a casting call for all the characters again - it’s interesting to note that all the original voice actor’s are signed back on!  YAY!

I am making an email address change soon.  It WAS tanner@ - from now on instead of tanner it will be tan.

The reason?

I have been getting HAMMERED with a gibberish spam.  The usual reason for these guys to spam the way they do is too reduce spam filter effectiveness.    Once you mark the gibberish as spam it basically overloads the filters and makes it easier to accept spam rather than to refuse it.

I was stupid and posted my actual email address for a period of time.  Now I’m encrypting it from bots being able to read it.  But the damage is done.  So, I apologize ahead of time…  but tanner@ has to go.

EDIT:  It’s done.  tanner@ will stay active for a little while but I expect a full deletion to happen shortly.

Just spent an evening working on Cabin Fever 2 with my good buddy Patrick Durham.  Met a lot of great people and had a great time doing some work on the film.  Honestly not sure what I can post about so I’m gonna play it safe and not say much else.

I definitely want to thank my friends S. Gabriel Josefson and Justin Milley for coming out and lending their considerable talent and time to the shoot.

(And now a shameless plug for crossthemovie.com and whoisrain.com….  go view and click my ads!!)

If there was any show I could pick to be on - it would be these shows (also would love to be on Psych - but that’s another story).

A part of me wanted to be on Stargate SG-1 so badly but I didn’t make it to the Hollywood world in time to be there.  And as for Atlantis, well, it just got canceled.  But with the new Stargate Universe show looming in the future there is still a chance for me.

Wish me luck guys!

Another website done.

Go check out Patrick Durham Dot Com.

Among other things you need to go check out his site for samples of my website design work.

His site was SEVERELY customized! Email me with detailed specs about what you want for your site and I can get back to you. While it’s more or less confidential how much his site cost, it wasn’t just a single day job.

I like to be paid for my time only - the simpler you keep it the cheaper it is. I’m not a mechanic - I won’t charge $600 for a job that only takes an hour because a book says it’s a $600 dollar job.

All you need to have ready for me is the FTP information of your website and details about what you want done. A sample site is a good idea. Flash is discouraged. (People tend to turn flash websites off - hate music built into pages - etc) A basic actor template website is 150$ (a template I made and have used…). You have to supply the hosting and FTP access. If you want it to be very cool it needs to have a database server software called MySQL. Other wise it’s more basic and oddly enough, a little more complicated.

Other sites I have designed recently:

http://www.whoisrain.com
http://www.jaimetaite.com
and this one - you know - the one you are reading this post from.

I am currently reworking http://www.powerfrogstudios.com . Looking forward to getting this one up and running.

Hi y’all.

I have another site to add to the resume - I recently was referred by a friend of mine to help another actor with designing and coding a website for them. We met the other day, and now the site is all but more or less finished. We’re waiting on delivery of her demo reel to complete it.

I am always available to do more webdesign. My rates are fairly reasonable. Just shoot me an email and tell me what you need - already have and what you don’t know also… be as detailed as you can.

Anyway, check out my new design here www.jaimetaite.com.

Thanks guys!

Ok, y’all. Some of my work is starting to surface, and hopefully soon I will have more than just a few random clips to put together into a nice demo reel or my acting skills.

And that’s what’s going on… for those of you keeping score, I have an IMDB page here, and on that page one of the films I had a small part in is premiering on Saturday, November 8th at 7:30 pm.

I have, of course, a guest pass to go to this thing. I get to bring a friend too. And as a matter of fact, I’ve asked my pilot co-writer and co-creator, Charles Price, if he wants to go. It should be interesting.

In it, I am playing a prison guard who kills a prison transport driver near the end of the movie facilitating the escape of one of the main characters. I have lines. Woot!

I (obviously!) have a new design up! Enjoy!

Incidentally this design will also allow me to more adequately update and blog about the various stuff that is going on. I will rant, rave, talk about projects, pimp my friends projects, pimp my friends, and promote myself as much as is narcissistically possible.

I will freely talk about the stuff that hasn’t happened and why and will frequently update this with information from my new webcomic as well!

So on that note, please go to www.whoisrain.com and read my webcomic - check a link - make a donation - help me survive by making a living at doing that which I do best.

Thanks peeps!

Yep.

We wrote it.

It’s awesome.  It’s never been done on TV before.  Reviews from the few people who have read it range all in the “holy-crap-I’ve-never-read-such-a-great-script” category.

We’ll see.  I’d like to let you read it.  Especially if you’re an agent, or a manager.  So contact me.  I’ll make sure my buddy is cool with me sending it and I will - or I can meet with you and let you read a hard copy.

It’s registered with the Writers Guild of America West.  #1303333.  The tag line?  We have a few and once we do the reading with some of our actor friends - we’ll post more.

Tanner is still busy, and would like to apologize for still not keeping up on the updates!

This summer included a lot of auditions.He helped a friend move. Looking for a day job. Which by the way, I still need one, I’m good at lots of stuff, mostly entertainment related, illustration, animation, web design, and so on. Drop me a line if you got a job for me.

The pirate movie I did is out. I hope to get my copy soon so I can extract parts of it for my demo reel.

Lovin’ HeLL.A! hit some snags with a sound designer. I’m not personally able to work on it yet - and I really want to get it done. Not for me so much as for everyone else who was involved. Richard seems to be just as busy, as I havn’t heard from him in a while as well.

I also had an idea - a quite original idea - for a new TV series. The best pitch I am allowed to give you right now is it’s a JJ Abrams style, with a lot of Judd Apatow-ish humor, Doug Limanesque visual style show with a lot of action and comedy. An action-dramedy if you will. We have the script in the final stages and are preparing to do a reading with our friends before we pitch it. My partner has contacts in a few production companies. Of course, my Joss Whedon influence will be fairly obvious. So far the few people who’ve read it, love it. I know it’ll be amazing once we get it on air.

As for “The Greatest American Hero” webseries, I have no idea what’s going on with that. So my official policy is a don’t ask don’t tell thing.

Finally, I’m launching a new website, http://www.whoisrain.com/. It’s a webcomic, along the lines of the massive amounts of other webcomic sites out there. I hope, however that the quality of it raises it quickly to the upper end of the ranks of webcomics. Please, show your support. Go there. Make a donation. Read the comic (it doesn’t launch for a week though - so it’s all filler material for now) click on an ad - just to send me a little love in the form of ad cash…

As always, I am available for webdesign work, layout etc. I can also do story boards, and illustrations. I can even do animatics to lessen filming impact. You know what I’m talking about? No? Ok, well, say you have a complicated scene. And you don’t know if you can film it the right away. Work with one person (me!) and instead of a crew of 20 paying them all to try stuff, we do animatics that cement the idea in your head so when you are ready to film… you nkow exactly the shots you want and you know exactly how to shoot it.
